So instead of getting a costly gym membership to stay in shape during the summer I decided to start a work out plan on my Wii Fit. It turned out to be a great idea! It takes my BMI (Body Mass Index) which lets you know if your a healthy weight for your age and height which I think is great instead of being obsessed with numbers on a scale, it is a much healthier way to approach a healthy level of activity. Once you get into the game you have 4 categories: Yoga, Strength Training, Aerobics and Balance Games.
I like to start my workouts with different strength training, you do the exercises with the wii balance board which I like because it makes sure you're 
doing them correctly, and your trainer helps it through tough exercises with encouragement and helpful hints. It also gives you a score on how well you did so you can check your progress and also a little healthy competition with the other family members helps.
I than move on to the aerobics for some cardio, I do some jogging, boxing, step classes and hula hooping (actually a great workout). Here too it tracks your progress and you can change difficulties to challenge yourself more.
Once I'm done I like to cool down with my favorite, yoga. Ever since my class ended I've been missing it. Here is where the balance board really kicks in, holding the poses is a real art form. Very relaxing and revitalising.
If I have time I'll play some of the fun balance games such as skiing, labrynth, snowboarding, and many more. They are all a really great time.
If you have a Wii I really suggest renting it and giving it a try, its a great way to spice up your work out routine or just have some fun!
