Becoming Wii Fit
The other day, Sarah went to Target while she was waiting for me to finish work. While she was there, she spotted a Wii Fit and surprised me with it.
We’d been looking for one for a while, and they aren’t easy to find.
So for about a week, I’ve been checking in each day to weigh myself, get a BMI reading and do some exercises. I do push-ups, boxing, super hoola-hoop, yoga, the whole nine. It’s actually pretty exhausting.
The major benefit I’ve noticed is that I haven’t had a single headache since I started using it. In a regular week, I’ll get between five and seven headaches (sometimes two in a day). This could be attributed to the Wii Fit or to the fact that, coincidentally, I began taking a multivitamin a week ago. There’s really no way to tell but I do feel much better overall.
This is the first workout routine (besides riding my bike to and from work) that I’ve actually stuck with over a few days. I usually dread any kind of strenuous workout but with the Fit — number one, I get points and number two, I can see my progress up on the screen with the handy built-in calendar.
A while back, Sarah and I decided to start going to the gym but, well, that didn’t pan out. The $90 this thing costs was nothing compared to that; we can bust it out at any time, bust a move and not bust our asses getting to the gym and back.
Overall, I’m pretty happy with it so far. I used to be able to do over 100 push-ups in a set. Right now, I’m struggling with twenty.

That’s awesome bro! That’s so sweet about the headaches.. They kill productivity for sure!
Thanks!
I know people that don’t even get headaches. Sucks for me, I have to work to get rid of them.
The Hula Hoop is super tiring! I like the step dancing. The boxing on Wii Sports is also exhausting. It’s a great way to get in shape and have fun at the same time.
