Last year the new Nintendo Wii came out and everyone lost it. The game became hard to find around the globe. The Christmas season was ushered in with people sleeping out in front of Best Buys to get the golden ticket to one of the limited number of consoles. It was unbelievable! I knew I wanted the game, so I sat back and waited.
Now, my wait is over! Last Sunday I was leafing through the circulars and found the game headed for Best Buy & Circuit City. After a few phone calls I was able to head out and finally get the game. It was a spur of the moment purchase, but I figured I could help the economy and…well you get the picture.
Ladies & gents, I have to admit it. I am now officially sucked into the Wii. I haven’t bought any of the cool games yet (the console was on sale for $249), but have played the 5 sports that comes with it. And, let me tell you, it will have you sweating.
The game that will give you the most calorie burning has to be boxing. After 2 bouts, which I won with 2 KO’s, I was beginning to feel the burn. It was great! I think I found my new fun way to get healthy & burn calories.
You’ve got to try it! Most consoles are set up at the stores so go give it a whirl.
FYI - the games don’t seem that hard to find, but the consoles are still in great demand. The store I went to only got in 18 and I got one of the last 4. So, if you’re able to, grab it as soon as it becomes available.
