Are Wii Fit?



As I'm blogging, Lawrence is getting his daily workout dose on the Wii. Thanks to the Nguyen and Cheng Clan, Lawrence got Wii Fit for his birthday and I must say I am thoroughly impressed with the game.
I've tried doing Yoga at the gym and left after 10 minutes. I just didn't like the class. On the other hand, Yoga on Wii Fit is challenging yet fun. It's really ingenius. I get a double workout when I'm on the board doing the exercises, and then I get a good ab workout from laughing so hard watching Law or my mom do theirs. That's the funny thing. My mom is totally addicted to this game. We tried it for the first time Sunday night, and my mom was over watching Nate since we had gone out to dinner. She stayed over an hour until 10:30pm doing her exercises and Monday night, we had another dinner get together so she was over again. That night when Law and I did our workout, we noticed my mom had set records for alot of the exercises, which means she must have played awhile when we were out.
No one will stick to any exercise routine if there is no fun in it. I think that's why this will help us shed a few pounds. Everyone asks "do you really get a good workout?" No, its not the 1000 calories you burn in my spinning class, but it sure beats the calories you burn sitting on the couch, which is zilch. But I think Law is offsetting the calories burned since he is consuming an alcoholic beverage as he's working out! We have so much freakin' beer in the fridge left over from the party, it looks like a gas station.
Anyways, this comes just in time for us to shape up before our vacation in 2 weeks!

Yeah, after Tommie and I played Wii tennis on Saturday night at the party we decided we are gonna get one. Just need to find one now. I guess we can stalk Target or something.

Wii Fit sounds intriguing too.

Oh, yeah, sorry for overbuying beer-wise. There were a ton more people before we left. :-)
