I bought a used Wii from a coworker last week and she threw in all the games that she had + the Wii Fit.  So I broke that out yesterday out of curiosity.  I played around with the yoga and strength and cardio parts for a 1/2 hour and then decided to go for a short run.  My only complaint after Saturday is a little soreness in my left hamstring.  But it felt fine during and after the run.  I probably should stretch or something.  But I'm sure I won't.

I love the wi fit yoga!! I do it in the winter. Oh my gosh the band at the pavilion that were dressed in the long white socks and short shorts and sweat bands? they were so my favorite, I totally laughed out loud!! I would send them a note if you have any contact info that I could get. I did see elvis and didn't know the strip club-thats funny!!! thanks!

I just use Wii Fit to weigh myself. Maybe I should do more. I've got some other fitness games for the Wii but I never use them. I'm a slacker.

Yeah stretching is boring.

We got the kids a wii fit game that has Dora, Diego, etc, and they love it. I suck at the adult version so I don't play.

I'm not much of a "stretcher" either. I'm impressed you are running so soon. Nice job. Jared and Jen just bought a Wii and they are enjoying the games. They get a workout just from the games that came with it. They tried to get me to play, but I told them they are more fun to watch.

I rocked my fitness test. According to the Wii, I am 24.

My husband did it too, and then he was mad at me because it shows him as obese (he's definitely overweight, but I don't know if I would say obese) and the Wii asked if he trips a lot when he walks.

Lol. Your poor husband. 24 huh? I have always said age is a state of mind.

Yeah for 24! trips a lot? I have a wii but not the fitness games. I dunno. I just feel like it would be like any thing else. I wouldn't do it unless it included running outside. LOL

It does have some running stuff on it, but I feel stupid running in place. My kids and nephew, on the other hand, did the short run about 10 times yesterday and had fun "racing" each other.
