So awhile ago, Mazie was able to get her hands on a Wii Fit for us. I must say that Nintendo did a pretty good job coming up with the idea for the Fit. What better way to market to a completely different crowd than to use exercise as a selling point.

Anyways, among the categories included on the game where one can train in are: Yoga, Strength Training, Aerobics, and Balance. The balance games tend to be the most fun as they’re more “game” oriented than they are exercise oriented. What the Wii Fit showed me though, was how bad my balance was.

There’s one game on the Fit that requires the person to stand on the board and shift their weight back and forth as if they were skiing down a slope. With how clumsy I am, and how terrible my balance is, I find myself unable to complete the game without stepping off the board. Ideally, you should be able to easily shift your weight to the left and to the right to guide your Mii down the slope without losing balance and having to step off. However, it doesn’t seem to be possible for me. It’s actually pretty humorous to watch me attempt to keep my balance as I always fall off within 5-10 seconds of shifting my weight back and forth.

I guess that’s one bad thing about being tall… your center of balance isn’t as low as someone who’s shorter, causing you to lose your balance more easily. Despite that though, I think I’d still rather be tall. If I ever get around to it, maybe I’ll post a video of me attempting to play so that you can all get a laugh out of it.
