Live Like a Nerd Excercise Like a Nerd

So thanks to a generous gift, I how have my very own Wii Fit for my very own Wii. The fact of the matter is not only am I a geek, but I’m a former athlete who hates many types of exercise. When I was younger playing baseball or swimming, I had the thrill of competition to overcome any hatred of exercise. Now that I don’t have that, I don’t want to run, jog, or walk. Seems pointless to me. I really enjoy relaxing. Mainly because I don’t have nearly enough opportunity to do that.

But here’s the thing. I do like video games and maybe the artificial interface and tech peripherals will bring enough interest to keep me active enough to shed some of these pounds. Today was the first day I tried Wii Fit and it kinda kicked my ass. It really shows you exactly how out of shape you are right from the start. Or at least how out of shape I am. But I’m not going to be defeated. It was challenging and encouraging at the same time, and I’m definitely gonna come back for more.
