Crazy new exercise thing, day 2

I like it! You can set up a routine and just go. The trainer is WAY less annoying than the Wii Fit one -- at least so far (and you can turn down the chattiness, I checked).

There are still only so many exercises you can do whilst clutching a Wiimote, but these people are pretty darned creative about some of them.

I don't think the sporty games have a lefty mode, which will be irritating for some people.

Also, I suck at catching baseballs, even virtual ones. I'm not actually surprised. (I do apparently have a mean backhand though! The tennis and boxing are awesome for taking out one's pent-up aggressions.)

I don't know if you can get the board without the Wii Fit software, but it's worth messing around with some of the games, they're pretty fun!

Yeah, my parents have one and the balance games are very interesting. I like to walk on railroad rails and the Fit showed me that my resting COB is just a *bit* to the front and left. Which fits in with the fact that I carry a backpack over my right shoulder all the time.

Thing to do tonight. Kids will love it.
