Wii Fit and homebrewing
For Christmas--- musicbyoscar gave me Wii Fit (and a Wii to go with it) so that I could have fun while trying to improve my fitness. Thanks to the kind folks at San Antonio Homebrew Supply, I managed to give him all the equipment and supplies that he needs to join the homebrewer ranks (I chose an IPA for his first batch). He plans on starting it this weekend. I'm looking forward to sampling his creations.
I've managed to work out with Wii Fit every day since Christmas. Since I'm fairly outta shape, and my range of motion is limited by my muscle disorder, I've been trying to spend a good deal of time on the balance and yoga routines each day before I move into the aerobic and strength routines so that I don't overdo it. At first I was convinced that some of those balance exercises were completely impossible, since I kept falling off the balance board. In just one week I've managed to improve my balance enough that I now realize that all of the exercises are do-able, in spite of my initial "this is impossible" complaints. Cross your fingers for me --- I need to maintain some level of workout so that I can enjoy the new homebrew without putting on extra pounds!
