  1. Glad to hear that life is turning around for the better... I too have been away from home and not doing the Wii thing. I hope to get on tomorrow for the first time in awhile and get scolded from the little Wii person... Good luck to y'all... :eek:

  2. Wii Fit is a balance board that you stand on and do exercises using it. It works on balance and other types of exercises. It is rather nice, there is also something called Wii Active, that has resistance bands that you use to exercise with along with the control wands. That is the cliff notes idea of it. You can go on Amazon and see all of the stuff and read the reviews though.

  3. Hi Y'all;

     

    Thanks for the well wishes and the welcome. I went and bought the Wii and got both the Wii Fit and the Wii Active. I've only tried out the Wii Fit so far as that has been more than adequate for me <G>, after getting the hang of all the balance stuff and yoga etc... on the Wii Fit, I will get after the active too.

     

    Didn't do anything besides golf this weekend. My back is giving me fits the last two days <sigh>. Doesn't help putting the duty belt on with the extra weight and protuberances from it. But the Wii is trying to make me feel good by telling me that my age is three years younger than it actually is ( I have this thing fooled.) and in a week I am down 2.5 pounds. I am rather happy <G>... Now if the back gets to feeling better, I will spend more time on it. Appointement with Chiropracter this week to see what is ailing me.:eek:

  4. Hi Y'all;

     

    reading this thread has made me seriously contemplate going out and getting a Wii for the wife and I. We've messed with friends Wii's and have thought that they were fun, but didn't think that they were really seriously good for exercise, but y'all are making me rethink that thought. I've seen some new stuff at Costco for the Wii that puts resistance into what you do along with some different monitoring devices for your legs. I may just have to give it a go...

  5. John;

     

    Thanks for putting this all together, and it is nice to see a fellow IPA member here. Who knows, we may get to meet someday. I want to get back to CA. sometime to see some old friends down south and even stop by my old PD.

     

    regards

  6. I kind of like what was mentioned earlier, get what you pay for, as in like the old days (back to the future.). There was first class, then the lower classes down to stearage. But those were the days when it was more for transporation then it was for a vacation. However, I kind of like the idea of getting what you pay for...
