Wii Fitness on a Gardening Page?

I know, what's going on and what does it have to do with gardening? Well, my friends, every now and then I come across a product that I absolutely love and the Wii Fit is one of them! As gardeners, we know that we need to be in some degree of fitness in order to accomplish our gardening goals. From standing a step stool which requires good balance to lifting and hanging a flowering basket or being able to dig up a flower bed, we all need to have good balance as well as stamina.
Since getting the Wii console and Wii Fit, both my hubby and I have noticed that our general balance is improving which leads to better posture, better strength, better eye and hand coordination, and a feeling of accomplishment! Did I mention that we are having fun and losing weight too!
I think Nintendo got this one right. Even your kids will get into it. Fun balance games to play that are sneaky in getting them up out of the chair and playing! What kid wouldn't love to snowboard down a mountain slope or carefully walk a tightrope from one building to another while avoiding the "chomping jaws" machine. Very cool graphics too.
For adults, there is both a great yoga section with good instructions to increase your flexibility and a strength section that works everything from the all important core abs to arms, legs, and back.
Lastly there is an Aerobic section where you can do a step aerobic program along with a chorus line of Wiis or if you prefer, run in a mini marathon on a beautiful tropical island.
There's definitely something for everyone on Wii Fit. Check it out ! Happy Holidays !
