Wii Fit: Another Workout Motivator

This morning I got my lazy butt out of bed and made it to Meijer at about 7:10 am. Now normally for me to get up early there has to be a damn good reason. Well today there is one. The US release of the Wii Fit.

I got there and there were signs posted that read "Line starts here for Wii Fit. We have 40 units available starting at 12:01 am". Now no one was in the line and when I checked the Nintendo case there were no units there. Ahh the horror, ahh the pain of getting up early for no reason. I tried to calm down and sought out a Meijer employee. Luckily she was only an aisle over from me.

She spoke the greatest words possible to me. "Yes they are bringing them out now for today..." Rejoice!!! 

I got one and got the hell out there, with a stop for a Non-fat, no-water Chai Tee for MrsMcbeev, and a coffee for myself.

I got home at about 7:45 am and set it up.

My first impressions is are as follows:

• It is a nicely designed unit, heavy duty plastic all around
• The instructions describe how to set it up well
• The intro video is kinda boring when you are creating your Mii profile
• The first strength conditioning exercise I did was tough!

More to come later.
