My new treadmill is my best friend! I also like biking, stepping and exercise videos -- I get bored quickly so I need variety!

Re: What's your exercise of choice

Free weights and resistance bands. Really like strength training; really dislike cardio.

Qi Gong & Tai Chi because they make me feel graceful(ish).

All kinds of Wii stuff: Wii Fit and Sports Resort are my favs. Plan to get the new walking one (Walk It Out) when it comes out in a couple of weeks and thinking of getting Just Dance. Still not in shape enough for Sports Active.

Zumba 'cause it's fun and mentally I think I am still a disco queen.

WATP when I'm in a hurry or don't really want to do anything. In less than half an hour I get a good workout.

Mizski, If you keep saying how much you love Wii, you're going to get me to spend that $3-400's (last time I checked) yet.

It is a big investment. The Wii + Wii Fit Plus bundle is about $300 plus $20-$40 for additional games. I've had good luck getting used games at Game Stop for much cheaper.

I was vary wary when I bought mine. First, I don't play video games and sucked at the ones I tried. I was very much a newbie gamer and fortunately a very nice woman at Best Buy helped me out as I didn't even know what to buy at first. Secondly, I was afraid this might be another dust collector like my Bosu ball (still in the box) and stability ball (also still in the box).

When I bought my Wii, I first started with the Wii Sports that came with the console. LOVED it and enjoyed bowling and some of the other sports. For the first time in a long time, I felt athletic. Took me a while to warm up to the Wii Fit. Making my Mii was fun but after that, well it was exercise and I didn't care for the fact that a machine was telling me that I was obese and much older than I am (Wii age). It's growing on me though and I try to do it most days. The balance games alone have made a huge difference for me. I then got Sports Resort because it is LOTS of fun.

I think it is a good investment. It got me up and moving on an almost daily basis.

p.s. Someday I might buy an actual video game.

Re: What's your exercise of choice

I walk twice a day....Im trying to drum up the courage to go swimming at the local pool...I don't feel like exposing my flab to the world right now...it's confronting...but walking isn't really enough...

I broke 6 bones in both legs a few years back and my knees are um *laughing* shonky...so I figure swimming is the kindest thing I can do to build some extra muscle...

I can't afford the gym or any equipment so I'm going to have to improvise...maybe some resistance training...not sure

Re: What's your exercise of choice

I snowshoe, since it's winter, and hike in the summer. About 5 miles/3 times a week on average. I'm doing the Wii again this winter, stopped this summer, since it's so darn cold, windy and icy outside.

have to work off the 3 pounds I gained in the last month!

I did Tai Chi when I was in Japan and I loved it, but can't find a class here. I'm jealous

I use DVDs for both. Actually I do everything at home. Some day I hope to be thin enough and in shape enough to try classes.

Did you try your park district?

[Desertthorn]

Re: What's your exercise of choice

No but I will. Thats a great idea.

Miz, if you could come to my water arobic class you would smile. The instructor and most of the class are rather large folks. I fit right in. Try Curves, if you have the $$, they are also ladies who want to lose.

I was going to join Curves but decided to spend the money on a Wii. It was the right decision for me especially where I divide my time between two homes that are 100 miles apart.

Re: Tai Chi and Qi Gong classes, most local Council on Aging chapters have classes as do many high schools and community colleges. YMCA's do also if you have any near you.
