I haven’t been able to knock down 99 pins yet in bowling but I am not giving up. Good luck to everyone and have fun.

Steve, I wonder if you have any thoughts about how this Wii Fit could be combined with in-class work? You’ve seen the new brain research book talked about here and there in this sphere about how sedentary offices and classrooms are the worst learning habitats.

It makes me want to explore something like “LearnerCize” – and I have a copyright on that term

Seriously, I’d love to read your thoughts about how Wii could be combined with, for example, and interactive whiteboard to make learning and fitness synchronous, instead of the schooly asynchronized version.

I just got my Wii Fit last night and I’ve already put 40 minutes into. I agree that the balance games don’t really feel like they are doing anything, but many of the strength training exercises certainly did! If you are interested in other technology to help you get fit, you might want to check out http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/ or http://caloriecount.about.com/. Both sites are free and allow you track what you eat and how much you exercise.

My mother and younger brother get to play Wii when I drive to Philly to visit. They saw commercials for Wii Fit and now they’re on the hunt for a Wii and Wii Fit of their own.
I’m on Day 2 with Wii Fit, and I like that in 20-30 minutes (time in the bank, not total time), I can feel exhausted and “worked out”.
Good luck!!

Steve,
Good for you…and good luck. I started spending as much time on my treadmill as I do on my laptop a few months ago. My laptop time has decreased drastically- LOL. Keep us posted on the progress:)

After bowling with a Wii at Christmas and then racing cows with a cousin in March, out daughter wants a Wii. My husband has scoffed for some time – then the Wii Fit comes out and now even he is interested in a Wii. We both bike, but I can only get so motivated to ride 20 or 30 miles when it is below even 50 degress. I’d rather ride with someone, but then who stays with the 8 year old? She is only so tolerant of long rides with us, and she can’t ride our speed. Gym? Yeah, 15 or 25 miles away, take your pick. Ride to work? Sure with a laptop, lunch, clothes. I tried do a workout with one of those big ball thingies, but felt kind of silly rolling around on a giant ball. Maybe, like you said, the characters and the “fun feel” of the Wii fit is the answer. Wish I knew someone who would let me borrow one for a few weeks. Maybe Santa will drop one off in our house (along with a Wii Fit for me, Hannah Montana for the daughter)

Steve,
Welcome to not being 25 anymore! And welcome to not being in the classroom anymore. When I was still in the classroom, especially teaching 1st and 2nd grade, I was constantly on my feet. As I got a little older (just a little, mind you) and more sedentary, but still very busy, it takes a lot more effort to eat right and move more. I’ve always fluctuated with my weight. The next time you see me, I will be about 15 lbs lighter then the last time we saw each other.

I signed up at the local gym to work out with a personal trainer. I meet him 3 times a week and knowing that I am paying for it and have an appointment makes me do it. For the cardio, I download episodes of TV shows that I never saw before and watch on the machine.

Will this last forever? Of course not, nothing does. But it’s motivating to me right now and I feel good about myself and I feel energetic.

When I see you again, after this summer? Maybe at next year’s FETC, will I be another 15 lbs lighter? I hope so, but might I be back up 15 or 20 lbs? It’s possible. I’ve come to accept that sometimes I fail at things. But I can turn around and try again.

I think you have a healthy and positive attitude, as you do with everything! Best of luck. I’m all for a Twitter/Blog/DEN/etc. support group!

This is for you, Steve.

After my second child was born last year I wanted to finally lose the weight from the pregnancies. My sister, mother, and I set up a google doc on which we each record our weight once a week and any exercise we do. I had considered joining Weight Watchers for the public weigh in each week, but this has worked just as well and costs me nothing. Good luck! Jenny's most recent blog post.. Wading into the Ocean
