I have never understood the obsession with video games. I equate video games to overweight dorky boys (and men!!!) who have no social skills(I know I'm insulting some of my readers but bear with me). I've never understood the desire to sit in front of a television or a computer in the house and press buttons and blow things up. I'd rather be outside or anywhere else doing anything else...until now...
To say I like my Wii would be correct. To say that I am falling in love with my Wii Fit would be an understatement. The people at Nintendo got it right this time...totally marketing to people like me...active, fun, and hating to sit still.
We hooked up our New Wii Fit last night and I played for several hours. While some of the things are easy, I was informed that my balance is off and that I'm terrible at balance related activities. I even broke a sweat doing some of the strength training.
I hate to admit it but I am starting to enjoy video games. I am hoping that the Wii Fit helps me to exercise at home a bit more and gives me some other activities to do when I am short on time. I can not wait to get home tonight and do more strength and yoga poses. I can not wait to beat my high score on the slalom. And finally, I am hoping that it helps me lose the 5 lbs. I've gained since the marathon.
More importantly though, I can finally tell all my guy friends, "I like video games too (and I am gonna look damn good when I'm done playing)".
