Wii FitI fully understand the huge importance of daily exercise. I’ve seen the results in my body, mind an spirit. It helps me when I’m depressed; it helps me stick to a healthful diet; there is NOTHING that is bad about exercising. But – I HATE IT!! I have to force myself to do it. Sometimes, in the past I get in to a groove where I actually like it for a period of time – but that doesn’t usually last long.

I’ve had exercise partners along the way – and generally that helps me keep going. I’ve been partnered with the Emperor and my mother and I’ve even used a personal trainer. The personal trainer was great because she made me feel accountable. We now live in the middle-of-nowhere and have no access to personal trainers or even a gym that’s close by. Most recently I was working out with my mother at Curves. That actually lasted about 4 months!

My mother’s birthday was a few days ago and we decided that a great gift for her would be the Wii Fit program. What an amazing gift that was! Not so much for my mother – but for me. She’s still trying to get into the groove and make it work for her – and she will. I created my profile and did the “Body Test”; set up goals and started a few of the programs – and I LOVE IT!. I don’t remember ever looking forward to exercising like this before. I’ve beat everybody’s high score! I’ve already lost weight! And I can’t wait to do it again!

As for my body test results – I was happy to see that I’m only overweight and not obese. But my Wii age is 75! I’m older than my mother in Wii years! That was seriously discouraging – but at the same time a great motivator.

For anyone that struggles with exercising – I highly recommend trying the Wii Fit. It’s amazing!!!
