Wii Fit or Darth Vader Was Cheering Me On
May 21, 2008 - 6:38 pm
My BMI is a little high, fortunately in the Normal Range, but high in the Normal Range. My goal is to have a BMI of 22 which means I need to lose almost 15 lb with a date goal of two months.
Wii Fit is pretty cool. I now realize that “playing” video games using your body other than your hands is not as easy as I thought. It is definitely exercise, balance and strength training all wrapped up in a user friendly, Nintendo-fun way. It uses the Brain Age concept for daily stamps and goals and a “time used savings” piggy bank for unlocking new games.
Thank you Nintendo for making exercise fun.
Oh yeah, I downloaded a Darth Vader Mii who was cheering me on at the end of my running-in-place exercise.
UPDATE: I found out afterwards that my weight was off by about 14 lb, I wasn’t really paying attention at first. The Wii Fit comes with foot extenders to use on carpeted surfaces. We put them on, Jenna tested it and it showed her correct weight. I will be deleting my profile and starting over tomorrow and will increase my goal BMI to 23, I think 22 isn’t necessary.
