First impressions of the Wii Fit were i felt like i was playing a video game, not working out. Which is perfect for me. I started with Aerobics. Failed miserably with the Hoola Hoop game. I can't even do virtual Hoola Hoop. Oh well, after about 1 minute, i could feel the weakness in my abs. WAY out of shape. Moved from there on to the step aerobics, it was a little slow, but again, i could slowly feel sweat beading up on my forehead. On to the jog. Oh man. Even on the shortest route, i could barely make it. Was huffing and puffing at the end, but i kept pressing on. Moved to the strength training. I have terrible balance, could barely do 10 pushups and side planks, and the lunges about killed me. Finished all of the strength exercises, and moved on to balance. had a lot of fun here, and was good to begin my cool down. Enjoyed slalom skiing and the ski jump, hate the stupid marble madness thing. Ended with Yoga, figuring it would be the best way to cool down. I have a new respect for my my Mom's ability to do Yoga. It is NOT easy. Remembering to breath in time is the hardest thing. I suspect it will improve with time. So far my impressions of the Wii Fit are positive.
