We do not have any kids so I have yet to try out the Wii. I hear it is a ton of fun! After listening to your story I might have to get one Hubby DOES have a Xbox though LOLOL maybe someday I can come over and we can Hula Hoop together Sounds like you had a total blast! Congrats on the jogging and keep on Hoopin!!!

OMG!!!!!  We've been playing with the Wii for the past few weeks but last night I got brave and set up the Wii Fit - hustled David out of the house to a meeting - pulled the shades and prepared to make a fool out of myself.   OMG - It was so incredibly fun. time flew by and I was oblivious to everything around me. So much so that I failed to hear David drive up or open the door. I was doing Yoga and was in the Tree position as he just stood there watching. Scared the crap out of me when I went into another position and saw him there. All he could so was laugh. But I was so excited to show him the other stuff - especially the hula hooping.

I haven't hula hooped since I was probably 8 years old but we turned it into a competition. I let him win. (Gotta feed that ego dontcha see?) He really liked the balance games. Who would have ever thought that 2 40 somethings would spend hours playing fitness games? 

There's a jogging game - I JOGGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never got winded - didn't get leg cramps - OMG!!!!!!!!!!  WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!  OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!

Can you tell I'm excited about this? I'm a little sore this morning but considering I played around with that thing for over 3 hours it could be a whole lot worse.

Iris~~I am so with you on the Wii Fit!  Coming from a 38 year old I love love love it!  My little boy calls me the Hula Queen.  Little does he know I have the hips for that!! 

The guy I have been dating (David also) and I played it with Garrett Saturday night and we had a blast.  Yes I too made a fool of myself but had so much fun. 

I too jogged 1.79 miles in 10 minutes (free run) and felt great afterwards!  I have also incorporated 3lb weights with the exercises when I can to help tone my arms.

Keep at it!!!  Some of the best money I have invested in!

Have a good one!

Iris,

Latly on the xbox I have been killing tons of vampires on my new Buffy game

Sounds like you are all havig too much fun! lol What a great thing to be addicted so muh better than food!!!

Annie - it's great - a workout without feeling like a workout (if that makes any sense?) I'm so glad that I'm not the only one with this new found "Addiction" and not only is it healthier - over the long run it's actually much cheaper than all the bad stuff that I used to buy on an almost daily basis,

Iris, 

I am right there with you.  I am not a "gamer" not do I enjoy exercise.  After much thought my husband and I (who have no children) bought the Wii sports and Wii fit.  I so love this product.  It is so much fun and we have been competing against each other.  I started out with the physical age of 58 which freaked me out!  I am in reality 47 yrs old.  This last Sunday I was 33!

I told my husband he was in for a treat when I become 21 again!

My favorite parts are the balance games and the running. 

Have FUN!

LOL, I know what you all mean about the Wii.  Its a constant competition between the 39 y/o (me) and the 9 y/o (Gabby).  We constantly fight to knock each other off the hula hoop high score board. 

I think tonights gonna be a Wii night and the kids going down for the count.   LOL 

Dalt

Keep all this up and we're gonna have to send you to "Wii-hab!"
'*snort*
LMAO!!!!!
I'm jealous, though. I wish there was something to motivate me to move like that! (Perhaps a Wii??)
Duh!

"Wii-Hab"  OMG I've just spit coffee all over my desk and computer.
