I bought the Wii just so I could then buy the Fit (ostensibly it’s a birthday present for Leah, but I need it more than she does. The only exercise I get is walking around airports and trade shows). I figure the Wii + Fit ($250 + 90) costs less than any treadmill or stationary bike and it doesn’t take up any space. The hope is that because it’s an interactive gadget, there’s a better chance we’ll use it long term. If not, at least it doesn’t take up any space, and the kids are having a blast with the games.

This just in, new online fitness show targeted towards techies to be hosted by Veronica Belmont???

But seriously, if this did happen, who would be your backup girls? You know, those aerobic workout videos have the main workout coach and then some girls as the supporting cast.

I am still unsure if I want to buy Wii Fit or go to the Gym. I have lost 60 pounds, went from 260 to 200, so I am thin again, but would Wii Fit help me tone and build muscle? I need to stay away from Del Taco or all will be lost. Good luck Veronica, although why some women toy with perfection is beyond me.

Maybe I should get me one of those. Not that I live a sedentary life, but I’m always too tired…

Hey V!

C.K. showed me this post. I love you cut and pasted onto the box. I’m interested to see how the Wii fit goes.

Good luck!

P.S. You are a brave woman sharing that info online.

V is alive! 5′7″? Moderately height challenged, but as long as your feet touch the ground is what counts.

Did Dvorak ever find that ST outfit you two talked about? If you bulk up with muscle mass you might need to size it a bit bigger. Remember not to chase the scale or the Wii. Eat healthy food and get plenty of rest. Good luck.

@ Veronica, Can’t wait to hear about your progress. I’ve been curious about the Wii fit, but I don’t own one. I need to start watching my Yoga video that is on the shelf collecting dust…thanks for the reminder

I’m surprised that you’re as tall as 5′7″. Patrick must be huge.

Living a healthy lifestyle is a very good idea. Not doing so catches up with you eventually, although it can take decades.

a balance of pizza, BSG, & moderate Vii fit sounds more reasonable.

ps. i have an old pogo ball i could lend you if you need some balance training.
