It's not just another video game


Forget Rock Band! No offense to those of you who routinely enjoy "touring". I'm not a video game person. It takes a lot to convince me to even pick up a controller. Rock band included. Call me a party pooper. I am what I am. That is until Wii came out with Wii Fit. Holy Cats! Whoever thought that one up is brilliant! Basically, if you haven't heard of it, it's an exercise game. You've got Yoga, strength training, balance, training, aerobics. It tracks your progress and the more you do, the more "games" it unlocks. Talk about getting you off the couch. Mike, Taylor, Landon, and I stayed up most of the night competing. Probably not the best idea since the kids are still in school. Taylor came home from early morning seminary and instead of going back to bed like he usually does on Thursday, he "played". As for me, instead of cleaning and doing the things I should be doing on my day off, I've spent the last hour trying to beat my kids scores. I'm getting a work out. Trust me, I'm sweating, (and it's not because it's 95 degrees at 65% humidity). Who would have thought it would be a video game that would get me jogging?
It's a lot of fun. You've got to check this out!

That looks like tons of fun. I told Tami I was waiting for a new post on her blog to post a comment. You beat her to it. I don't know how you girls have time to blog with your busy families, but I love looking at them. We are looking forward to seeing you and all the cousins on Labor Day.

Glad to hear you are working out again! HA. Maybe I need to pick it up to get me going. I was trying
5:30am sessions at the gym, but with a boy that likes to get up a few times in the night that didn't last too long. Did do a 10 mile ride on the bike with Jeff tuesday!! BTW- so glad you're doing the cruise! can't wait to see you.
