When my son got his Wii for Christmas, I just assumed it was just another video box that would be used for a couple of months and then it would be on the road forever. Boy, was I wrong! I saw some teens wear it after Christmas and then I couldn’t wait to have fun.
The Wii wasn’t just sitting on your butt and getting so into the game that you were oblivious to everything else. It was actually a training video that offers you numerous games so you never get bored. Wii is a game that gives you interaction with others and, if you play it with your family, it gives you quality family time. And this 48-year-old mom was ready to play with her teens.
The first time I played golf and bowling, the next day I was so sore that I couldn’t move. I used muscles that I hadn’t used in a long time. Not only did we get a good workout, but it also eased tension and cleared our minds of the buildup of stress that had built up during the day. The gloomy winter days soon turned into “fun-filled, can’t wait to play with my family’s entertainment.”
In addition to having fun and quality times with my family, we actually began to fine tune our bodies. We moved around and really exercised. The Wii was helping our cardiovascular system, as well as taking off a few inches here and there. The Wii was expensive and the added games are too, but I can say that it was worth the money for our family.
