I once shaved the top of my wine glass right off playing Wii tennis. Be very careful. yes, yes, I was sitting in a recliner at the time. Hardly cardio.

Just think of all the money you will save on running shoes - should be plenty to pay for the smokes!

Mario vs. Sonic at the Olympics is harder to run with the little nunchuk thingys than if you just went outside and ran. No lie.

Thanks for the race encouragement Vanilla!

LOL!! We love our Wii as well. I am surprised at how addicting it really is!

My hubby dreams of getting one, but the teenager has gone & gotten a 360......which DH can still golf on & play killing games, like sniper...something or other??

He goes to his BFF's (can I say a guys BFF??) & plays it there--Guitar Hero???

2008-04-23T09:19:00.000-06:00

Oh boy.. I have made a vow to never never never ever ever touch Wii in my life. I will keep praying that my girls don't ever mention it. My biggest fear is technology. Technology has a way of making people neglect their health.

Sorry to see you go. Wii'll miss you! (Get it? ...

Sorry to see you go. Wii'll miss you! (Get it? Wii'll? Boy, I crack myself up).

Wii Fit? what is this? must google it.

my fave is Wii doubles tennis. even more fun after a few glasses of wine.

2008-04-23T06:18:00.000-06:00

if i had a tv i probably would be 20 pounds heavier.
if i didn't have a computer i'd probably be 5 pounds lighter. if i had a Wii, i think i'd count it as exercise.

2008-04-23T01:21:00.000-06:00

Would you believe we got a Wii a year ago and have never even hooked it up? Our son has one which we play when we visit him. I had a sore shoulder for days after trying to ring the bell in the carnival games.

Too bad Wii Fit comes out after Mother's Day or I would totally score a free one. When it comes out, I'll be taking Wii out of the box, but not until then. I'm already a little too motivated to sit on the couch.

Zak and Wiki, really I mean it.

It may be designed for 12 year olds, but I love it.

2008-04-22T17:05:00.000-06:00

oh guitar hero...why did someone even have to mention it..I think I'm getting a twitch in my eye...damn it I may not run either!

2008-04-22T15:21:00.000-06:00

Ok, call me crazy but the first thing that came to MY mind was....YAY! One 5K shaver down, 35 to go! Ha! Why don't you invite them all over to your place, keep 'em busy for me. And BTW...my flexor is healed so watch out BABYYYYYY!!!

2008-04-22T14:24:00.000-06:00

Remember it says, you're supposed to take a break after an hour...LMAO...

It's the blue light on the Wii. Highly seductive.

Good luck...and yeah, we consider Wii cardio around here too.

2008-04-22T14:20:00.000-06:00

Dude, don't think I'm not getting Wii Fit. I'll be all set with cross training :P And ITA with Marathon Maritza, boxing is TOTALLY cardio in my book ;-)

2008-04-22T13:50:00.000-06:00

Same thing happened to me.

Less than a month until Wii Fit.

2008-04-22T13:45:00.000-06:00

I'm with Maritza. DO NOT PLAY GUITAR HERO. I don't even want to think about how many hours of my life have been lost to that game...

Check out Wii Fit...it has Balance Games, Aerobics, Yoga and Strength Training. Sounds like some great crosstraining for a runner (or at least a really good excuse to keep playing the Wii).

I'm jealous of your Wii and how you use it.

I'm trying to convince my wife to let me buy a Wii. I told her we can play with it together.

I'm out of euphemisms....for now.

There, I said it.

Oh goodie!! We just got a Wii too, even though we...

2008-04-22T12:40:00.001-06:00

Oh goodie!! We just got a Wii too, even though we so cannot afford it. And we don't even have kids or any other excuses.

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games is fun. I already set a world record in the javelin. I'm planning on calling up USATF to see if I can jump into the trials this summer. :)

Smash Bros is likewise addictive. Pricey but highly recommended. Have fun!

2008-04-22T12:40:00.000-06:00

I try to avoid the Wii. Because when I start, I don't finish. "Just one more level" becomes a five-hour affair.

2008-04-22T12:08:00.000-06:00

Remember the track and field game for the original NES with the floor pad? That seems like a perfect game to reintroduce with Wii. And then this will just be another piece of running gear. However, I don't think your Garmin will work with it.

2008-04-22T12:04:00.000-06:00

I'm sorry but I totally consider Wii boxing cardio.

DO NOT get Guitar Hero for Wii. You have been warned.

Try a rather spirited boxing match with an HRM on.

Then try to tell me Wii-ing isn't healthy :-).
