No gym, no problem! Wii have a solution...

There is a way to beat those New Years Resolutions of getting into/staying in shape without having to go to the gym. Here's how:



And more specifically:


We got a Wii a few weeks back, and let me tell you, it is much more of a workout than I ever imagined. We have the Wii Fit which is really fun because it takes your weight and height and keeps track of how many minutes you work out each day and your number of calories burned. It holds you accountable, too! If you haven't worked out in a few days, the little Mii person will say "I haven't seen you in awhile, where have you been?" and then you realize that a computer is making you feel bad for having a few lazy days.

I have been doing some of the Aerobics workouts to help give my heart a good workout on the days I don't make it down to the treadmill and elliptical. I did the basic step workout last week and my calves were sore for a solid two days! The workouts require alot of moving and shaking around and I feel like I am probably shaking the baby like crazy in there. I will try to update with pictures of us actually playing the Wii...

So if you don't have a Wii, you should definitely get one. After all, you're having fun while getting exercise. I can't honestly say I have fun while waiting for my 30-45 minutes on the elliptical to pass by ever so (seemingly) slowly.
