Wii Fit Plus

Wii Fit Plus Review

Ok everyone has heard of the Wii and Wii Fit; now there is a Wii Fit Plus. It came out I believe two weeks ago. I bought mine at Wal-Mart for $19.98. Very reasonably priced in my opinion; actually I love that is was so affordable.

I loved the Wii and the Wii Fit but I felt I was getting used to the same games and exercises I was doing. When I found out about Wii Fit Plus I had to check it out. I was so excited to find out how affordable it was and that there were so many new activities couldn’t wait.

I used it several times through-out the first week and this past Sunday we had company from out of town that travels a lot and heard about the Wii but never played it. We started it up and played for hours. At first going through various games to show it off but when we came to the Wii Fit Plus it seemed like we stopped and kept going over the same things. We all (there were four of us) became quite competitive (which is new to me.)

Wii Fit Plus is different in ways that I couldn’t imagine. I felt that the first one needed to show me the calories that I burned well the Wii Fit Plus does. It also shows you how it is calculated. I love that you can ride a bicycle and it tells you how far you have gone; I am also surprised at how hard it is to keep going when you run into the grass to take shortcuts.

There are so many different Yoga technique’s to try out I am still not done with those but I am sure I will love them all. I still feel the burn and feel so much better already.

I love the aerobics; I believe I am an aerobics person always have been. I still get confused on the routine but I am getting there. I like the fast one the best, especially throwing that clap in with all the extra steps.

As said before in my opinion, I would definitely buy Wii Fit Plus it’s affordable and a lot of fun for the whole family.  I never imagined having company and exercising till 12:30pm.

The laptop that I use is a Dell Inspiron 9300. I love it. The reliability is great, and I haven’t had any major issues since I bought it. Although, I bought it in 2004 it does need to be upgraded a bit as in the hard drive it’s only a 40 gig so when I put Windows Vista on it well it didn’t do so well storage wise. Not a problem I just put Windows XP Pro back on and everything is fine.

Since I bought my laptop I have upgraded the Ram no big deal but now thinking of upgrading the hard drive it might be a little bit of a mess. While working on another laptop I have found that there isn’t much room to work with inside those tiny computers.  So, I will definitely be taking a bit more time to think about it before I jump right in.

I’m looking at the performance of the laptop itself; like I said before not a problem. I must say I am surprised since my last statement to my husband was “why you’re just paying for the name.” All being considered the money was worth it, I have had any issues and it’s well outdated now and still no performance issues besides I need more space for storing my pictures which is not Dell’s fault.
