Okay, okay, I'm starting to "get it" a little bit. For the last couple of years I have been hearing about how Wii is going to start getting the population fit. I'm pretty old-school when it comes to exercising and eating right so I have been more than a little skeptical.
This Christmas I am at my sister-in law's house and they just received Wii fit for Christmas. After setting it up, I just had to try it. Hmmm..... my fitness age is 50, according to Wii Fit. I'm only 43 and very active and I consider myself "very fit". Mountain biking, running, hockey weights etc..... I tried boxing and..... holy crap........ was I winded. Okay, I'm starting to get it a bit.
After a while, I found myself having fun playing the different games with the family. Pretty cool. I am pretty hyper and sitting while playing loses me very quickly. Standing and moving around is a different story! I like it.
So..... long story short............. I'm starting to get it. Moving with the system is better than sitting on the couch. BUT I still can't see non-exercisers (or exercise haters) suddenly become workout people to the point of actually getting fit once the novelty wears off. I CAN see people who already move use it as another tool in their fitness box.
Maybe I'm wrong. We'll see.
