Journal Entry
Wii Fitness
January 30th 2007 at 3:35 pm
Can you dig it? This cat lost 9 pounds in 6 weeks playing Wii Sports every day. What’s awesome is he kept body fat results as well as the usual weight results, and did a before and after picture which shows clearly the results. He was pretty fit to begin with, but it’s amazing what a consistent little bit will do.
Here’s his ‘Rocky Training’ video montage.
Nifty.
Meanwhile, these will arrive tomorrow for me. A pair of 2 pound wrist weights that strap on. I’m planning on doing 15-20 minutes of Wii boxing with the weights on.
One of the hardest target areas for me has always been my back in weightlifting. I can already feel the soreness of muscle development there from playing boxing, though. The tennis game has worked my forearms pretty well as well.

Just hang on to the damned thing. I already ran into one guy that sort of glumly said, “Yeah, we threw it through the screen of our big-screen TV.”

You may want to get the rubber grips in case you start dripping sweat.

I already wanted a Wii. Now I am desperately longing for a wii.

I was already into the third sentence of your post before I realized that you didn’t mean “cat” literally. But until that third sentence, my mind was going “You mean Nintendo actually made an exercise game for cats?!”
Thanks for the laugh, unintentional as it might have been.

okay, time to start looking at video games, again.

I found climbing to be good for the lower back. Don’t know if there’s a game, but you can probably find stairs.

Hah on the cat
Rick, climbing is great, yeah. Hard to find a good rock wall out here in Bluffton Ohio, look it up on good maps. We’re like a flat sheet of paper.
