Wii Fit is awesome.  It told me I’m underweight (and made my mii look scrawny).  So I’m working towards putting on some muscle.  I’ve been trying out all of the exercises until I figure out a good routine (and open more strength training exercises).  I was doing the aerobic workout tonight, bopping to the beat, looked over, and realized the mii next to me was my brother!  He was way too excited to be exercising with me.  It was really weird.  My grandma works out with me too.  And Jesus.  Anyways, I think it’s a really brilliant game.  There is a variety of exercises/games.  Some are more game like – great for families.  Others are focused on strength and tone.  It doesn’t beat some good old fresh air, but for someone that finds the treadmill lacking, Wii Fit is a great exercise program.

From a ballerina’s perspective – it works the quads a bit heavily so far.  I’m hoping that changes with more exercises I open.  I was surprised to find it challenging my balance too.  That might be more because I’m out of practice.  Last, I refuse to do the running exercises.  Its so bad for ballet.  You want to lengthen your muscles, not build bulk.
