Apparently my Mii was asleep

Jan coaxed me over to her place this weekend to work out on Wii Fit. Apparently my Mii was dozing off, and to Jan, that just wouldn’t do.

wii-fit-balance-flameGot a good workout and we unlocked another game in the balance section. This may sound stupid to those of you who can’t sit still, but I really liked it. You plunk your butt down on the board and stare at a candle for 3 minutes.

 3 minutes of stillness. Bliss. If you move your centre of balance, the flame starts wavering, which draws moths. If you aren’t relaxed, centred and still, you wind up zapping the moths. There are background sounds to distract you and it dosn’t take aware movement to attract moths.  After a workout,  focusing on your breathing and muscles is fun, and considering your buttocks are being read by the sensors in the Wii Fit board (that’s  a lot of coverage!) it is just as much a part of a workout as pushups.

Jan:  Ha, hotshot, so you got through 3 minutes first try. From now on when you look at the flame grasshopper Pam, you’ll laugh and lose because you’ll hear me say: “Be verwy, verwy quiet.”
