Tiffykins 673 Posted August 30, 2009 I went out and bought Wii Active today, and love it. I haven't worked out in about 8 months, and I really wanted to give this a whirl. Least to say, I am impressed. I just did the easy 20 minute cardio work out, and broke a sweat. It felt good even with my ankles and knees popping like crazy. I know I'll hurt tomorrow, but I plan on doing this 3-5 times per week. . . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malaika 50 Posted August 30, 2009 I went out and bought Wii Active today, and love it. I haven't worked out in about 8 months, and I really wanted to give this a whirl. Least to say, I am impressed. I just did the easy 20 minute cardio work out, and broke a sweat. It felt good even with my ankles and knees popping like crazy. I know I'll hurt tomorrow, but I plan on doing this 3-5 times per week. . . How fun Tiff. My son and DIL brought their Wii over last Saturday and they had a new game pack - it had bowling, table tennis, golf, sword fighting, archery and several others - I think like 16 in all -- they played a few as did Bearded and it seemed like a real work out. I know there are those at work that SWEAR by the yoga, etc. Bearded and I don't even have a Wii (probably one of the few in the world) and when I suggested it, Bearded just gave me 'the look' ... so I guess I'll stick with working out at my friends, and re-incoporate my walking DVDs, pilates and bike riding.

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted August 31, 2009 I'd like to have a WII. they are pretty spendy and then you have to pay extra for the WII active. I smashed up my car so my extra money is going to go to getting it fixed:mad0::thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*susan* 1,709 Posted August 31, 2009 Daisy, how did you smash up your car? Are you okay? I thought about getting a wii, but it just isn't in the budget right now. I don't think we would use it much anyways. Plus, we go to the gym. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chancie 65 Posted August 31, 2009 Sounds like fun Tiff! A friend at work was just telling me about this! He's a thin guy and said that it is a real work out! Just don't think I'd use it... my son has a Wii maybe I'll just borrow his :drool5: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TennJenn 9 Posted September 1, 2009 We have a Wii & love it. The kids enjoy the games & dh and I do, too. Wii Active is on my wishlist, but unfortunately it's not in our budget right now. I'm glad to hear you like it, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiffykins 673 Posted September 1, 2009 Daisy, how did you smash up your car? Are you okay? I thought about getting a wii, but it just isn't in the budget right now. I don't think we would use it much anyways. Plus, we go to the gym. I never thought we'd use ours, but we love it. It's great because it's so interactive, and we can all play unlike the other systems out there. We have the Wii Sports with bowling, boxing, and tennis, and a few others, it's so much fun. I'm not a big gamer or anything, but the Wii offers so much. I mowed the back yard yesterday, and weedeated around the house, so I didn't work out last night. But, tonight, it's on again.

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted September 1, 2009 Daisy, how did you smash up your car? Are you okay? I am fine, just a little mad at myself for being dumb. My friend has a little brick flower box next to herdriveway. They had their trailer parked on the driveway. My car sits really low to the ground and I didn't see it. I was being careful trying not to hit their trailer. The flower box is toast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*susan* 1,709 Posted September 2, 2009 Tiff, maybe I will have to reconsider it once the budget allows. Daisy, I think we have all done something like that one time or another. I was in a hurry once and backed out of the driveway knowing darn good and well my hubby's trailer was right behind me and ran smack into it. I haven't lived that down to this day and it was years ago. What is important is that you are okay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deedee 5 Posted September 5, 2009 I'm glad you like yours and using it. My husband got me the wii fit last year and I used it for a while...it was really fun, maybe I'll have to try it out again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruthi 60 Posted September 8, 2009 Ok, girl, how did you smash up the car? Do you get hurt? I'd like to have a WII. they are pretty spendy and then you have to pay extra for the WII active.
