I decided today that I am far, far, too lazy. Spending most of my day, every day, sitting on the comp, and apart from the walking of the dog have been getting no regular exercise for months now.My solution was to break out my Wii Fit again. Easier said than done.
First of all it took me about 15 minutes to remember on which channel and what setting I needed my TV to be on to find the Wii.
Having got that sorted I then discovered the hand device had dead batteries. It was then a hunt to find fresh batteries that I might have left after my Granddaughters had pinched them all. Wonderful! I found 2 AA batteries which were the last 2 left in what was originally a large pack.
I set up the Wii Fit and discovered that I hadn't been on it for about 500 days, or so the Wii told me. So I deleted that user and created a new Mi. All set to go you would think. Not so.
On then turning on the platform I discovered those batteries were also dead. Not only that but the batteries had been sitting there for so long they had all leaked. I then set about cleaning out the gunk that leaked batteries leave behind which didn't take long, but I had no replacement batteries.
Being determined to actually step foot on the Wii and do at least 10 minutes training today, I set off at a brisk walk to the shop, (walking is still exercise isn't it?). Bought the batteries and a brisk walk back.
Finally I am now ready to actually start with the Wii training.
After the initial test exercises the Wii informs me of my statistics.
Body Mass Index = 20.73 (Anything between 20.0 to 22.0 is the perfect BMI)
Weight 8st 1lb (113lb)
Wii Fit age of 41 (21 years younger than my real age)
I then set to and did 5 minutes of sking and a 6 minute run. I was then shattered so I logged 11 minutes of exercise today, add 10 mins brisk walk to the shop and back (one is allowed to count that) which has given me the grand total of 21 mins exercise.
Now sitting eating a chocolate bar.
Good for you getting up and about! I should really do the same. All we've used our wii for in ages is Netflix.
