wii would like some ibuprofen, please

So, I got the Wii Fit yesterday.  The kidlet thinks it’s “ours” but it’s really “mine”.  HA HA HA!  I am just playing along with the “ours” bit.

It’s fun as hell.  I was sweating at one point, after hula hooping.  That kicked my ass.  Especially the super hula. 

The kidlet and I both picked the male trainer and the kidlet has named him Jeff.  I have no idea why, but it was funny.  While he and Jeff were working out doing the strength training, Jeff was encouraging the kidlet and the kidlet was saying stuff like, “Oh, thanks Jeff”, “You’re killing me, Jeff” and “Jeff, I don’t even know what you are talking about”.  He had me doubled over laughing.  I am pretty sure my sore abs are from a combination of super hula, yoga, strength training and laughing at my child.  We had a blast using it and now have to develop a schedule so we can each use it equally.  I get to go first though, ha ha ha.

This morning I got up early to do it again.  I super hula’d and pretty much resembled a monkey on crack when I was swinging my hips in circles to the right.  I am not kidding.  If anyone would’ve seen me at the buttcrack of dawn in my living room doing that, I am pretty sure they would’ve called the authorities.  It wasn’t pretty.  I am more natural swinging my hips in circles to the left.  I did yoga, step aerobics and strength training as well.  Then, I ended it with some ski jumping and tight-rope walking.  I rocked both of course.

What I like about the strength training and yoga is it shows you what muscle areas are being worked during the particular exercise/pose.  Pretty cool. 

I realize this isn’t a gym membership, but it’s a fun way to work out.  And, the kidlet and I can do it together.  We have been playing Wii sports a lot lately.  My favorite on that is boxing.  That’s a killer and the next day, you feel it.  Well, I do at least.  The kidlet is good at the boxing and kicks my ass in it.  I really need to work on that.

Speaking of work, I should probably get cracking…
