Hey there everyone and Happy New Year. So...Santa brought my family a Wii for Christmas and I have to say "I love it". I was doing the boxing and the tennis the other day and I was sweating like I was doing aerobics. I was even sore from bowling. Has anyone else taken up the "Wii" for exercise?

Oh I am so jealous of you. I was planning on getting DH one so I could use it in the winter time for that very reason. I jsut never got around to actually finding one lol.

I wasn't planning on getting one. I had no interest in standing in long lines and spending the night outside of a store to get one either, I just happened to stumble upon it. I was very lucky. I went to Target one Tuesday after work to get "Meet the Robinsons" for the kids. Well...I happened to be walking down the Wii aisle and there were two sitting there. I couldn't believe it. It really was a great find. I wasn't sure if my kids would want to play it and if they would really get it (they are 7 and 4), but let me tell you...they love it just as much as I do. Good luck locating one...it should be a little easier now that the holidays are over.

That's awesome.

Wait 'til you get Guitar Hero III...It rocks!

Oooohhhh...I'll have to look into that. Thanks!

The Wii is the best!! Guitar Hero III rocks though so much fun to play and great when friend get together!!! Way to go.

I'm with you! I love it. DH and I got one for each other for Christmas and I was surprised how much of a workout it has been. A friend who had a stroke last year has used the Wii in her physical therapy.

(and did you know you can play strip bowling...)

Okay, I must be totally out of the loop. What in the world is a Wii. All I know is that is what my 3 year old says when he needs to go to the restroom.

google is your friend...

I love my Wii the boxing is a real workout I usually don't play video games, but I love this thing I am really good at tennis my kids are great at bowling, we have a great time playing together.

Love it! Haven't used it since banding...but used it before. My son is four and he loves it! We have such a good time with the Wii. Bought it last year for my fiance for Father's Day...so we have had it for a while...but it just doesn't lose it's touch...it's great! Wait till you see the foot pad they are coming out with next fall...you can do yoga and soccer...can't wait!

I have heard about the pad and the yoga. I can't wait. My 4 year old is a pro at bowling. He's so cute when he does it. I get a real workout with the tennis and the bowing. I give it all I have. I didn't know I was going to have so much fun with it. It's definately a great investment. It's bonding time with the family and exercise time for mommy.
