Dear Wii Fit,

poetry

I scoff at the absurdity
that we can get fit
on a video game,
the culprit of sedentariness,
but you might just be fun enough
to make me enjoy exercise
placing you among the glorious ranks
of basketball, ultimate frisbee, and…

is the list really that short?
Crap, I gotta get fit.

    You will love it.

    Mine helped me lose four pounds in the first couple of days. Granted, most of it is probably water weight, but it’s still a good feeling.

    The rhythm boxing is the best part.

    Walking to the liquor store is good exercise, especially if you buy a couple cases of beer because–and it helps if you walk briskly–then you’re combining weight training with cardio. Efficient.

    That is a great idea Ned. I just wish that I didn’t live in a dry city. Get this, you can buy beer at the local grocery store (which is good), but you can’t buy wine! That made me angry one day. And forget about liquor stores. I have to drive all the way out to whiskey flats for that! Perhaps I should walk to whiskey flats…hmmm…now there’s a fitness idea…

    And takingstairs, I just unlocked the rhythm boxing yesterday, but I haven’t played it yet because I didn’t want to rummage for my nunchuck. I was surprised at how tired some of the games made me though when I did them all together. It is a pretty impressive system, and I am becoming a walking advertisement (sitting at the moment).

    The beginner’s boxing is probably the most fun, I just wish the advanced boxing choreography wasn’t as difficult (which is pathetic because I’m a dancer). I would do fine with longer durations of the beginner’s routine.
