You mentioned a couple weeks back about how great the WiiFit was for getting some exercise at home. I don't know if you remember or not, but I mentioned that I had purchased difficult child a Wii way back in January.
Well, today he completed his first year of middle school and I gave it to him this afternoon! I know it's a big thing, but it was a great year for him and I also thought this would be a way for him to do what he really enjoys (video games) and get some movement other than in his thumbs!
Well girl let me tell you, I don't need the WiiFit! I just spend 90 minutes boxing, playing tennis and bowling and I am worn plum out!!!!!!!!!!!!! I actually worked up a nice sweat and really got the old ticker going while boxing. Man, it's a workout! The bowling was a little slower, but fun.
I enjoyed the tennis once we got the hang of it. Tomorrow we'll try the baseball and golf!
So, you were right to recommend a Wii for a fun challenge with the family. easy child was here for a little while (before running out with her friends for the last day of school celebrations!!) and she and difficult child had a ball boxing!
