Well it seems like we may be on the start of a fitness kick here.
We’d been eying the WiiFit since it was first announced last year - and managed to get the last one at our local Toys R Us yesterday. I won’t talk about the results other than to say that we have really bad balance according to the WiiFit. I’m not sure I agree with that pronouncement but whatever. We’ve only had it for two days, and so far we’ve kept up with it.
Shortly afterward we also both purchased bikes and a bike rack to along with them. Ever since we lived in Virginia we’ve talked about getting bikes and trying to get out and ride together, but it had never passed beyond the talking phase. Back in April The Boy got his first Big Boy bicycle which he loves, but we really don’t have a lot of space for him to ride around and that was an incentive to get us moving on that front so we could ride with him.
I took The Boy to our local elementary school to try out this plan, and discovered the one fatal flaw - The Boy rides his bike at a much slower pace than I do… Hopefully this is something that we’ll be able to work out, but it could put a crimp in our plans to have family rides this summer.
