If you are a reader of my ‘gone bush’ blog, you will know that I have been testing out a Nintendo Wii, Wii sports, Wii Fit Plus and the Wii Biggest Loser program, to see if they will be suitable to use in the confined space of a caravan as a fitness gym for a pair of touring seniors.

So far, Reg and I are having a fantastic time using the programs. Reg loves the Wii Sports and as an ex bowler and golfer he is happily playing these games again in our lounge room.
When Reg starts to Wii jog, I join in and jog beside him. I pick up 1 kilo hand weights and move those in a jogging rhythm if I am going at a fast pace or I will do actual weight work out exercises with them if I jog a little slower.  These are lower weights than I regularly work out with, but I do not normally jog at the same time.

Then I usually try to beat Reg’s skiing performance and have a go at the energy burning hula-hoop, which seems far too much fun to feel like I am exercising.

Then sometimes in the afternoon, if Reg has gone to bed for a nap, I do my full body workout in the Biggest Loser program and my Biggest loser, weight loss yoga.  Both give me a fantastic work out and I end it with the cool down stretches.

As a keen fitness interested senior I am so pleased with our Nintendo Wii and I intend to make sure I use it and gain the fitness benefit from the programs I chose to go in the Wii package, I put together.

I Love the Wii fit and the hula hoop excercise is fun and you really dont feel like your excercising. My favourite is the ski jumping. Hubby and i had a competition and both couldnt move the next day!
