Get into Fitness

I never thought I'd see the day - but the Evetts are bound for fitness glory... well - sort of anyway.

Health and Fitness - all joking aside - is a major concern for us - and a major motivator for me to have enrolled bothy Morgan and Lilly into so many after school activities and clubs.

I have been steady with my fitness and healthful eating - but get very frustrated at the lack of real results. I know i need ot do stuff every day - but it just slips past and the only way for me to get exercise constantly is to attend a class - and I can't do that every day... SO have been dreaming about having a wii and Wii fit for over 6 months now.. .just thinking - Xmas not far away - will wait for then.. but stuff it...

Gym memberships are expensive - trying to find child care so that both of us can get out and do classes.... well - you know the deal.

Enter the Wii Fit.. only 3 days of ownership and we are all totally hooked. Adrian does a full muscel and yoga session - the other body balance stuff - clocking up an hour a day - and he says he can really feel it deep in his core muscles.

Morgan and Lilly love the running - as well as the other co-ordination games and of cours elilly is the dancing queen with the step dance classes.

I have to say that I am a bit of a dapper hand at the tightrope walking and of course we all compete mercilessly on the ski jumping one.

It clocks your progress, weighs you and checks your balance on the board - giving relaly valuable - not pappy feedback - the programers were fantastic and its a really clever design. absoltuy 5 stars from us.

We have also go the sports one - which Morgan and Lilly love - boxing and bowling mostly - and yes - you still get quite a muscle work out with those. I am waiitn gon some extra bits ( tennis rackets, gold clubs etc to use to give more reality to the game.)

I can forsee in not so distant future a room which is the virtual room - you climb into a virtual body sensor suit and do your work outs. - no traveling , no smog or fear of being robbed or run over on the way there... I want one now....!!!

anways - will keep you up to date with this.. and our progress.
