Wii-Fitter

Yes, we have a family Wii Fit. Have had so for 18 months, but only really used it for the first 3 of those months.

So now that I have stopped the Booze for Lent, I thought I would jump back on and give it ago. Well first off I didn't realise that my BMI was 26.5, which means I am classed as Overweight. Something that the rest of my body has been telling me for a few months now, but I had ignored.

But I was also surprised at how downhill my fitness I had gone over the period of a year. The statistics that the Wii fit stores indicated that I was doing alot worse fitness wise than before, with all the different exercises leaving me off the top 10 listings. Something that was not the case 18 months ago. Though my wife is the Hula-hoop champion.

One good point was my Wii-fit age. This is at present 33, never been that low, but I wonder if the clearing of alcohol out of the blood stream has made my balance and reaction times better. One thing for sure for the next 5 weeks I'll make sure I am using the Wii-fit as often as possible.
