I love the people at Nintendo, particularly whoever the spark of genius was that came up with the sensor technology in the Wii. We’ve had a Wii for a little while now and had fun playing with the Wii Sports pack – the boxing especially is really satisfying. 
So when Nintendo released the Wii Balance Board as part of Wii Fit, it was a must have winter accessory for my technology wardrobe. I figured it didn’t cost that much – only a trifle more than what I would pay for a new release game, so why the hell not?? I wasn’t entirely convinced that it would deliver any form of fitness given that none of the exercises have any resistance attached to them. But with a daily 30 minutes of Wii Fit, I have actually lost some weight in the past 2 weeks. 
Be warned though….the cats appear to come from miles when they hear the Wii turn on. They don’t want to do any exercises of course but I think it has something to do with the feline tendency to constantly be in the way of what you’re doing. 
I am so envious , I soooooooo want one now!!
