The Active Family

Hey folks! I promised an update on my Wii Fit adventures. Have I mentioned how much I love this game? I’ve put in about 30-40 minutes a day on it, and I’ve unlocked many of the exercises and games. It is really easy to unlock new items, the more fit points you earn, the more becomes unlocked. So far I have been completely stymied by the advanced tightrope walk, but I kick ass and take names in advanced Hula Hooping. My husband particularly enjoys when I play that one

I really hate my mii, though. It adjusts itself according to my weight and BMI, ect. I went from having a svelte sexy Mii to a short stubby tubby Mii. My daughter even said my Mii looked too fat. I suppose it is a good visual motivator, as I can’t wait for the day when my Mii is skinny again. However, it really is quite embarrassing to have the fattest mii in the house.

The one thing I haven’t looked into yet is the fitness counter. I guess it is a place where you can input your other daily activities and you earn points for that. It sounds like a great way to keep track of what you are doing overall. I do wish that the program had an accurate calories burned calculator. I tried guesstimating the activities on a calorie/activity counter, but alas…there was no option for Wii Hula Hooping. They are going to have to correct that soon methinks.

If you haven’t gotten a Wii yet….get out there and find one. If you haven’t gotten the Wii Fit yet…good luck. These pups are harder to get a hold of than the Wii itself. Well worth every penny and mile traveled to get one!
