You'll Have So Much Fun Doing This You Won't Even Realize You're Burning Calories!
There are lots of different ways to get in shape these days -- You can work out at places like Gold's Gym or 24 Hour Fitness, go on walks, or maybe do some Yoga like I have suggested before.
The only problem is that most of the techniques that people use to get in shape are boring and take a lot of time and energy.
However, there is another way to burn calories that's a lot more fun and takes much less energy than going to the gym. I am of coarse talking about playing video games on the Nintendo Wii.
I know it may sound silly, but it's true. For Christmas in 2010 my father in law gave my kids a Wii as one of their gifts. At first I didn't take much interest in it. But when I did finally start playing it with the boys I actually broke a sweat. And when I woke up the next morning my arms were surprisingly sore.
So now we make it a point to play these types of games as a family; especially during the winter months or when the weather is bad. This way we can still remain a little active when it's too cold to go outside.
Now this won't happen with every Wii game out there -- The best games to play if you want a bit of a work out is the sports games. There are even games that have been specifically developed for getting in shape.
In fact, you may have heard of Wii Fit Plus, which gives you yoga, strength training, aerobics, and different types of balance games. Wii Fit is so effective it is even being used in various health clubs across the country and around the world.
The best part about playing these types of games on the Wii is that you can spend a lot more time with your children while teaching them the importance of exercise.
Don't yet have your own Wii? Don't worry, you can find them at places like Target, Walmart, Best Buy or even right here on Amazon.com.
And be sure to check out Wii Fit Plus as well as the many different sports games available for the Nintendo Wii.
