Fitness Review

Some of you are aware that I have had health troubles for several years.  My brother had a heart attack and yes he is younger than me.  It was a wakeup call that I had to make changes in my life or I would be the next person rushed to the hospital.  My brother is now on medication, as he couldn't get his blood pressure down without help.

I am here to report that not only did I lose 50 pounds this year, but I am in better health than anytime in the last 25 years.  My weight is lower today than when I married 30 years ago.  I even like clothing shopping, as lots of clothes fit and really look good on me.

Many members know I bought the Wii Fit at the beginning of the year and I started working out right away and lost some weight.  I hit that period where I couldn't lose weight and joined 24 Hour Fitness Gym and lost the weight.  Now I go to the gym 3 days a week and work out with my Wii Fit.

The review is for the Wii Fit Plus and I highly recommend getting this for the new games.  I really am having a lot of fun chasing down those pesky moles and counting to 10 hitting the right number and juggling.  If you have ever seen me juggle, then you would know this one is hard.

I did like the questions that have been added to short jogging, as you have to pay attention to what is happening on the screen while jogging and yes I haven't missed any questions yet, but did have to guess on 2 questions.

Also I think the new strength exercises give me some real challenge.  I like the calorie counter and yes its an estimate, but you realize your burning calories and are able to balance a challenging workout with some fun.

Some of you will really love the multiplaying mode.  I'm in such good shape that my daughter doesn't want to jog with me.  She couldn't believe my run yesterday.  She didn't think I would be able to burn the same calories at home, as in the gym, but I showed her it can be done.

My daughters boyfriend picked up the new game at Toys R Us and he gets a discount, so I paid $19.00, which was well worth the money.  Wii Fit has helped me keep the weight off and I hope to see other healthy reviews on Gather.
