You Can Lose Weight With Wii Fit! - I Did!

Nintendo's Wii Fit took America by storm in May 2008. There are still shortages of this game. It was a marketing success, as they appealed to the adults. They accepted the challenge and have purchased the system and Wii Fit by the bucket loads.

Many Senior Citizen organizations have been using this with elder folks to limber up their joints, and to make them more agile. Many sites like Wired and 4colorrebillion.com have had their journalists proclaim that they have lost weight with this system.

At 48 years of age I not a gamer by any stretch of the imagination. Sitting for hours and twiddling my thumbs is not my idea of doing anything productive. The Wii system is the only gaming system that appeals to me, because of the sports games. I can stand up and swing the Wii Remote like it is a golf club, in the Tiger Wood Golf game. I can move the remote like I am really fishing, in the game called Hooked, is exciting. I am currently playing Wii Ski because I can stand on the Wii Balance Board and move my arms and my body like I am really skiing.

Ok, back to Wii Fit. I have gone from 258 lbs down to 240 lbs in the 2 1/2 months that I have been using it to lose weight. Even though the game has several different modules, ie, yoga, strength training, aerobics and balance games, I mostly use the aerobics - the jogging in particular for my weight loss. I will also use the yoga for my warm up, and cool down period
You should always stretch before your undertake any form of exercise. I can burn 780 in an hour of jogging on the spot.

With our intemperate weather here in the northeast, I am looking forward to doing something during the winter.

Oh, before you undertake any exercise, make sure that you discuss it with your doctor.
