This week's assignment was really enjoyable. It's funny, when I see the kids playing Wii games I think the Wii system would be a lot of fun, and it is good to get these kids doing something somewhat physical seeing as no one knows what kickball or hide and seek are anymore..yea yeah...I know just dated myself again, but the Youtube general concensus was that it really isn't much of a workout. I do agree if you put more into it you'll probably get more out, and I think it would be a great starting point for someone like me who hasn't been working out for a while. The fun of the activity would make you feel like you're not even working out, therfore you get the results from having fun, which in turn would motivate you to continue to excercise. You know what I mean? It's all good! I really liked the Cardio Coach and the Youtube pilates video was very cool because it touched on the "form while doing the exercise," Wii fitess had received complaints about not stressing this enough in their excercise games. Nikeplus...do I dare ask ..how much does it cost? I didn't see the price mentioned anywhere in the link that we went to. Doesn't matter, I seriously doubt that I'll be running anytime soon, yeah I know it can be used for walking, but for the price I imagine it cost I think it would be more cost effective to use a pedometer and my MP3 from 2.0 :) But as always,I really enjoyed the lesson and it was very educational.
