So I just pre-ordered my copy of Wii's newest creation "Wii Fit." For those of you who haven't heard of it, it has a variety of interactive games that promote exercise. First, using the balance board, it measures your BMI (eek!) and gives you your "fit age." (I'm sure I'll not be a day under 610 years old) Then it has a variety of games--a ski jumping game where you crouch down and then quickly jump up, yoga, step aerobics, a soccer game and more. I'm so excited! It comes out May 21st and I can't wait! Whooo! All the fun of Nintendo with none of the hassle of those "check out my guns" guys you see at the gym. Good times!

Hahahaha... You know what I love about this post? The title. It takes me back to a place in time when I thought the song was about excercise. Kind of like how my mom thought that Hairspray was "squeaky clean". (Yeah, that was a quote.) The woman was so impressed with how totally PG she THOUGHT the movie was that she took her visiting teachees to the theater two days after she saw the movie for the first time, and then was promptly mortified beyond belief when there was (gasp!) a streaker in the first song sequence. Bless her, she caught a lot more of what I like to think is the funny stuff the second time around. Kind of like how when I watch the "Let's Get Physical" music video I'm now incredibly aware that they are not sweating it up over aerobics. Uh... not that I watch that video all the time or anything...
Do you have to actually balance on the balance board? If you're uncoordinated and a bit tipsy, that might be one way to get out of the BMI thing.
And I'm sorry if you're intimidated by my showing you my guns. Suck it up (or in), honey.
Now THAT is my kind of video game! I love any chance I get to feel uncoordinated and utterly worthless. However, I would much rather commit those sins while behind the curtains in my own front room!
When you get it, let us know how it goes...seriously.
