If you have kids, you’ve heard about Wii. If you’ve heard of Wii, you probably know what Wii Fitness is. I barely understand the technology of it but I’m super curious about the system at this point.

I’m physically limited in what I can and can’t do when it comes to exercise. Thanks to a bad spine with several fusions, disintegrating discs, and scoliosis, I can actually do quite a bit – in moderation.

Ok, so the point is that I dislike going to gym for the amount of money spent vs the amount of time I can actually use the facility. I’d rather do something at home and I already have a treadmill, but that gets boring when it is all I have. 

So, with the Wii gizmos fitness thing – you get a step or platform like device that reads and measures your every move. Even just subtle ones and allows you to “play” along with instructors who run you through yoga or other physical fitness routines.

This not only looks like fun in a game type of way, but also seems like it could be a great work out that could be varied to keep me from getting bored. Guess I’ll have to wait and see if I get one any time soon!
