exercise

,,,takes on many forms. it can be something as simple and inexpensive as going for a walk, or it can be quite extreme, like joining a high end gym, or having a personal trainer. i am fortunate enough to have the best of both worlds without ever leaving the comfort of my living room. you see, we bought a nintendo wii system, and have the sports discs, and the extra controller and nunchucks. and, i live with the fitness guru, k. she tries to keep me in line and on track. as you might have read way back, k was very into yoga and exercise dance videos from denise austin. she still enjoys that, but the wii is alot of fun.

we usually begin with the fitness portion. we have created miis' and there is a short program that you do and it calculates your wii age based on the results. um, she is 27, i am 80. whatever....i'm tired, ok? then after our fitness are calculated, we play 2 games, we each pick one and play. i love the bowling, k enjoys boxing. we both like golf and tennis. tonight was bowling and boxing respectively. usually we play about an hour. enough to work up a light sweat and get the heart rate up. k says that nintendo is working up a game called wii fit. maybe you have heard about it. well, when it becomes available here, we will purchase it. we'll call it an investment in a healthy body.

there are other forms of exercise which i have recently (and often) partake in; the fine art of shovelling the driveway. we have had so much snow. i shall take some pictures tomorrow and will add them to this post. this winter has been a real trial. no where to put the snow makes for some really high snow banks! as well, it makes my job as a driver so much more difficult. i can hardly wait until spring, and subsequently summer. it will be a welcome job, mowing the lawn, in about august when the snow finally melts.

happy easter everyone! more later. poet.
