So I have been using the Wii FIT for about a week now…..which means its time for me to ramble…
First off, I don’t own a scale. Never have. So the fact that I can now weight myself without having to jump on the scale at work which is used for mailing out packages is very nice. I also have to admit that I feel more guilty when I don’t play the game since it seems to talk shit to you when you don’t go on every day. I also like that I now have a goal in mind (even if it is unrealistic…gaining 10lbs in a month).
As for the actual exercises themselves…well the yoga is so so. It seems to be more basic stretching techniques with some elements of balance rather than full blown yoga. But I won’t complain…it serves as a good warm up. The strength exercises are either hit or miss. The push ups and crunches work just as you think they would…..so that is good. All the other strength exercises are “meh”, but seeing as I usually only did yoga, push ups, and crunches before I bought the Wii FIT this seems to be working out great in that it keeps me motivated. I do think I am going to start adding weights to the other exercises they recommend just to make it more difficult. That will probably help a lot.
So has anyone else seen the trailer for 9. This movie looks awesome. The movie is based on a short film by Shane Ackers which goes by the same name…”9″. That movie was nominated for an Animated Short Oscar, which in itself was awesome. But now…the film is being backed by Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov (you know the guy behind Night watch and Day watch)..2 major players in the visual eye candy department. This can only help Ackers original idea come to life.
