Wii Workout - Day 1

Wii is the coolest video game system I've played in long time. At least since the ColecoVision I discovered on a sleepover at Tommy Tenyson's in 1982. That baseball was sweet.

Anyhow, this Wii Resorts game I got for Christmas is very nice. So, I've decided to see if I can use it to get back in shape. Games like the 3 point shootout, ping pong, and cycling can really get the heart rate up.

I started out tonight with 15 minutes of basketball. My heart rate spiked at about 170, so not bad. It's pretty sad how winded I got. Hopefully, the thought of playing a game will help me get up and get moving in the morning and jump start my workouts.

I've gotten so lazy in the past two years. After nearly getting back down to my college weight of 185 (hit 186.2), I've packed on a pound a month for the past 21 months.

Let's see how long it takes me to work it off.

...that's what I said.
