I finally have one of my own. I feel like doing a victory lap around something seeing how hard it was to find one of these things except for the fact that I kind of feel sore and don’t really feel like running at all. If I were to actually DO the Wii Fit every day which of course I plan on doing *ahem* you really could get quite fit.
Apparently, however, Mr. Balance Board doesn’t think I’m so fit at the moment though with messages like "your lower body is lacking strength" and "i can tell you fell off the board, work on your balance". Mr. Balance Board wasn’t very nice to me. At least I have something to work on I guess. Let me show you the excitement from tonight…and no, I did not make one of those crazy little hula hoop videos.
We opened the UPS package…I love mail! Especially boxes!
They got IN the box while I installed batteries
Then got all comfy in with snacks to watch
While I got ready and prepared to hurt.
But it didn’t take long for them to join in…
Let me pause here to apologize for my outfit. And yes, I did change because I couldn’t get my leg to stay in the yoga Tree pose with the pants on. And no, the top and pants don’t go together but I was too lazy to completely change into a matching outfit. It’s not like I was going to get someone to take pictures and post them on the Internet or anything though sheesh.
Here’s the yoga Tree pose. I love how Lexi has her foot on her knee in the front.
We hula hooped. I seriously wasn’t going to post this but I love Emma’s mouth in this and the fact that she looks like a mini me. If I were to post the other pictures, you’d see she was following perfectly.
And wow, the RUNNING. I barely made it! I know I look like SUCH A DORK. In fact, it looks like I’m about to punch myself in the face. Can I just say the soccer head butting thing was hilarious when you got hit in the head with a shoe? I could barely concentrate I was laughing at it so much. But we really had fun exercising together.
Looking forward to using this thing more. I really do miss going to the gym and haven’t gotten into my elliptical. Maybe with this, it will jump start me back into it. Then again, I think it all depends on how my relationship with Mr. Balance Board pans out.
YAY for Wii Fit! I love mine. This past week I didn’t use it much, but I did hop on last night and did a 45 minute work out (just wait until you unlock “free run” and advanced boxing).
Which reminds me – we still need to transfer our Miis to each other. Did you ever put my number in your Wii rolodex?

No, I didn’t think we could do any games together so I haven’t put it on my to-do list yet.
I got one about a week ago-Lucked out and called GameStop just as they got a delivery.
open the Super Hula hoop today and by golly I did 827 spins in 3 min. Man of man was I sweaty!!! I love the yoga too. the step is fun as well!
Beth – just wait until you unlock the 10 minute super-hula! Five minutes on each side. My highest so far is 3,033 spins in 10 minutes.
My daily 35 minute work out is:
One advanced step
One island lap
One 10 min. super-hula
3 strength exercises
3 yoga poses
I only do the balance stuff for fun and don’t count that as part of my workout. Also, the advanced boxing is HARD. I do love the free run though – you can flip the channel and watch regular TV but your Wii remote will keep prompting you about your run and let you know how much time you have left.

I’ve only been able to get to 693 on Super-hula. I wondered if there was a workout somewhere set up. Did you just make that up on your own, Jaynee?
I made that up on my own, those things generally get me to the 35 minute mark in my “fit bank.” If I work out at night, when I have more time, I’ll do the free run, several more yoga/strength poses, and the balance stuff to play around.

SO cute….yes, the girls and YOUR outfits, both of them. It’s great to see you having so much fun together. I’ve sorta been against all this tech-stuff…the Wii…I feel like I should be outside doing those things, instead of inside, but this blog post made me see something GOOD in it. Giggling, exercising with your family…so sweet!!!
