Wii Fit sucks for real exercise – Two upcoming Wii products that may be better

bicep_curlsI’m a 43 year old out of shape guy trying to get back in shape. I go in cycles. I’ll get really into it for 4-6 months get fit then fall off. I usually didn’t worry about it because I could always bounce back and see good results withing 2-3 weeks of starting the cycle again. Not this time. I think age is finally catching up with me. It’s taking a lot longer now. My routine is to cut way back on carbs/refined sugar and hit the gym 3-4 times a week, park far away from my destination, take the stairs whenever possible, etc… Since my kids refuse to go outside unless I make them (more on that in a later post) I got Wii fit for the family hoping that I could also benefit from it. I tried it a few times and found it not challenging enough. It has a lot of fun stuff that will make you move, but not really challenge you. I’m the type of guy who will look over at the person next to me and try to do better. I know, I have issues. However, the kids love Wii fit so it was a worthwhile purchase for that reason, but it hasn’t helped me. It looks like they may be making some Wii exercise programs for people like me who want to really hit it hard. These two products look promising:

Golds Gym Cardio Workout
EA Sports Active For Wii

I’m going to try the Gold’s Gym product for no other reason than that’s the gym I use. In case you didn’t know you can get a contract free cheap rate through your company’s Health Care Service. I’ll create follow-up posts after I start using the program.

Now for a new feature. I’m going to start ending each post with a old school hip-hop track. Enjoy!
