Notes on the Wii Fit
- It does not need to say “ow” everytime I step on the board.
- I have crappy balance. This is probably why I cannot walk on ice no matter how appropriate the shoes, and I’ve never understood how anybody could run in heels.
- The Wii asked me if I fall down often while walking.
- It put my Mii in the healthy BMI, and it only made me slightly chubby. It also weighs me a little over 10 pounds lighter than I am.
- The Wii Fit is now my new scale.
- Ada + Wii Fit = hilarity*
- If you can dodge a panda bear head, you can dodge a ball. Even though you are not suppose to.
*There is a running section where you are suppose to put the Wiimote in your pocket and jog in place. Mac lazes it up on this part, and sits on the sofa and just moves him arm up and down to emulate running. In one part, if your Mii goes too fast and passes up the guide, he trips and falls down. While Mac was playing this, Ada would run circles around the Wii board, and when the Mii fell, she would fall and then tumble forward.
Points 1 and 4 would seem to contradict each other.
Every once in a while it does say “great”, and I can’t do the walking test for anything either. I’m wondering if it would respond better if the balance board were on a hard floor instead of squishy carpet.
Seems like an easy enough thing to test – put it on a large cutting board, or metal tray! …or move it to a hard floor (kitchen?)
I’ve threatened to get a board for it since I got the thing a couple of weeks ago but never think of it when I’m upstairs. The wii is confined to the basement or we’d never get anything done.
