Mia, I haven''t played the Wii in a while. I think you''ve just sparked an interest in me to start playing some tennis and boxing again. I was hooked on guitar hero for a while, but that only worked out your fingers!
You''re right...I need to jump around like a real rockstar. haha I''m kind of burnt out on it though. I will do tennis and boxing tonight...it''s been a while, so it will be fun.Date: 5/21/2008 10:19:59 AM

Ah, you need to get into it! Really wail on that guitar and jump around and such! You can totally rock out on the guitar hero!
I think the Wii Fit is kind of funny... People are waiting in line to buy a board that will allow them to pretend to jump rope? A jump rope is much cheaper! But hey, if they are exercising instead of couch surfing, I guess it''s good. I saw the ads with people doing yoga on it and I''m thinking Why? Why can''t they just do yoga on their rug? but hey, again, if it helps get people active, then ok.

Can I join in?
I have had 10 animal crackers and 3 cups of black coffee and I am STARVING! lol, any tips for firming arms and minimizing back fat?
What are you ladies planning on for lunch? I was thinking about doing a salad, but that does not sound inticing.
Dips for triceps are awesome (if you are around the house and need to add a weight, just throw a huge book or two in your lap - you''ll feel it), pushups and reverse flys for your upper back. I''ve been doing back and side crunces daily for a while, but still can''t get rid of any of the midsection issues.. I think that I need to find my measuring tape to keep track of what I''m doing because I can''t see any improvement.Date: 5/21/2008 11:44:47 AM

About the Wii Fit- Oh, I''ll be the first to admit that it is corny! But that stuff really motivates me. I don''t know why. I like seeing my progress on a chart. I know I could make my own chart, but something about the "fancy-shmancy" chart on a big screen really does it for me. I know its weird but I like that kind of stuff. I''ve always been the person that makes a to-do list and then enjoys crossing each thing off. Its like the nikeplus for my ipod. I set goals online and then I run and I really like looking at my stats afterward and getting the little trophy for completing a goal. If I know I have 2 more miles to reach my goal I make myself do it. I could just get out a piece of paper and make goals myself, but it just doesn''t motivate me as much... I know its totally weird! Anyway, before I got the wii, I saw wii fit and I thought "that''s a gimmick!" But after getting so sore from boxing, I realized I could get the same workout from doing tae-bo style punches in the air. But it''s not as fun! Anyway, I''m hoping that I will like it because I will be having fun and working on goals (beating the level) and hopefully I will forget I am working out.Date: 5/21/2008 11:28:09 AM

I agree about the Wii Fit...it looks pretty silly to me. Same with it tracking your BMI and such. You can do that on your own with all the websites nowadays.
