Wii-tastic!


As a Christmas gift I recieved the much sought after Wii Fit. And I must say it is awesome. I know there are a lot of nay-sayers out there, and to the sceptics I say this: You suck balls. And not figuratively. You literally enjoy the taste of testicles on your tongue if you don't like this home fitness program. The Wii Fit is a real find for me for two reasons. 1) It gets me motivated to do some exercize again and 2) It gets me motivated to play Ye Olde Wii again. There are tons of activities, although I mostly do the strength training stuff like situps and pushups, but I do get a healthy dose of the balance games. And yes, I even do the yoga stuff every once in a while. It also keeps track of your weight and shows trends and changes over time. And I know it's a terrible way to get motivated, but I kind of feel guilty when I don't use it every day. It also keeps track of your BMI, which is a totally useless fucking number based solely on your height and weight and is an indicator of nothing in particular. I know there are a lot of people out there who consider themselves "hardcore" gamers and have nothing but disdain and a couple of roundhouse kicks for the beloved Wii, but to those "hardcore" gamers I say this: when was the last time you could do 40 push-ups in a row? You may be able to pwn some fucking noob in CoD4, but in real life I'll still throw you over my knee and spank you like a little child all thanks to my Wii biatches.
