Wii Fit chronicles #1

We got a Wii fit after xmas. (sent the hubby at 8am on Sunday- he was not happy). Anyways, we got to play around with it and set it up the other day.
First, it asks your age and height. It then weighs you and gives you your BMI. Well of course, mine is a hair bit over the standard. Then my Mii (my Wii person) made a noise and the whole body plumped out. My jaw dropped. The boy started laughing hysterically. It told me I was overweight and had some work to do.

Then, the "game" takes you through a balance exercise that will give you your Wii fit age. Well, I have bum knee and the balance could be better. However, nothing prepared me for my wii fit age of 64. At this point the boy was howling with laughter which drew the attention of everyone else including the neighbor girl. They were all laughing at me and calling me an overweight grandma.

So, I made them all do this exercise. The hubby had a Wii fit age of 47, not bad a few years over his actual age. The girl was 24 more than double her own age. The boy was 14 his actual age. He did a victory celebration.

So I guess I have some work to do. The game is actually fun and a good more laughter came from trying to do some of the workout games. Apparently, downhill skiing is not my forte.

My brothers family also got a Wii and Wii fit. But they have been too busy with Shaun White snowboarding to find out their Wii fit age. I await with baited breathe...
