Pretend I'm the woman from Mars

...or the man from Mars. Did Marvin have a lady friend?

Anyhow!

Who has a Wii? How does it work? I see people saying that they exercise with their Wii, how's that happen; does it need to go for a walk?

It's fairly easy for me to ignore the mild snark of the weight voiceover, and on the Wii Fit (original) the female trainer is only mildly perky (and if you click a button on the controller she moves on to the next screen before she's done with this one). I'm overweight and a slug and find the Fit helps me maintain some sort of balance practice, which I really need. I don't use it often, but I try. And as someone else said, the games can be fun. And it opens more games the more hours you accumulate using the ones already open, so you have a goal to work towards.

I got the new Fit 2.0 software for Christmas, so I'm looking forward to seeing it. It's supposed to be better at making a workout routine, and I liked the routine of the old one. Balance testing on the yoga has helped me do better at yoga, too, because it tells you when you're wavering and not centered.

You can get the Fit and the software and the console as a package. It does have to be hooked up to a tv, last I checked with RCA connectors (red, white and yellow, ignore the red if your tv only has the yellow (video) and a single audio (white). I'm happy with it, anyway, and use it more than I did my exercyle, my Tony Little gazelle, or any of the other exercise gear I've bought over the years.
