A New Way to Exercise!

The Kline’s finally got sucked into the craze that is Wii Fit. It’s funny I’ve been thinking about getting one since we got the Wii last summer but figured it’d be a waste of money. My exercise philosophy has always pretty much sucked. Occasionally, I get on kicks where I’ll buy a new piece of exercise equipment, use it for a month, and then it’ll sit for another six months until I decide to try it out again. Exercise has always bored me and I’ve never enjoyed going to a gym and I hate running. When I lived in Missoula, Jeff and I lived across the street from the YMCA. We got memberships and went pretty religiously the first month, the second month neither of us went once and we decided to cancel our memberships. Take me on a hike or snowshoeing in the woods any day but don’t make me sit on a stationary piece of equipment in a gym, it’s like torture. Since in the winter it’s not as easy to get out into the woods, especially with Avery, I really do need some way to get a workout in. I was skeptical about the Wii Fit, however, Teresa kept telling us how much she loves it so I figured what the heck. So far I’ve done it four days in a row and I really do like it. It’s challenging and Jeff and I have a competition going which makes it fun. Today I’m actually sore from the lunges and boxing and the yoga rocks. My total weight loss is only .5 pounds, however, considering I ate an entire 8X8 pan of brownies with cream cheese frosting over the weekend, I figure the fact that I lost anything means its working. For any of you couch potatoes that don’t really have the time or desire to get to the gym I highly recommend the Wii Fit.
