Wii-lly funny

There have been mixed reactions among fitness editors and writers who have tried the Wii Fit. Jenn over at Fit Bottomed Girls isn't so smitten she'd actually buy one, but she'd be stoked to play with it with friends, just for fun. Runner's World digs it for cross-training. When I wrote about it for TOC, I found the yoga helped boost my flexibility (something I realllllly ought to work on more, sigh), but found that a real yoga class is a lot more relaxing and fun. (Duh.) Anyway, I haven't gotten on my Wii Fit in a while, but I received the Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum 2009 (who, as you know, Kate and I are obsessed with as The Biggest Loser fanatics) game in the mail a few weeks ago, and I want to give it a go this week. I already use Jillian's DVDs on time-crunched mornings I can't bear to brave the cold (her workouts rock), so I'm hoping her Wii Fit game is just as effective. Stay tuned for the results! By the way, this hilarious art that inspired this post was spotted in a round-up of chuckle-evoking tech-y cartoons on the Wired blog. If you have a Wii Fit, I'm betting you can relate! Posted by Liz
