What Happened To The Wii Fit?

Forgot how quickly these games made my heart race!

What Happened To The Wii Fit?
Nintendo

On a typical Friday night, it's expected that I am indulging in the adventures of the alluring night and enjoying the college lifestyle. However, in my life that is not the case- Not to say that I am not seizing the little dares life tosses my way, I'm just that quirky person who finds myself home alone on a Friday. Oftentimes a tub of Ben & Jerry's chocolate peanut butter ice cream, a lush bath bomb, and a good read seems to distract my Fridays. Then, there are other times when you realize you're bored because you thought it'd be a good idea to clean out your closet or buy unnecessary infomercial products. Digging through new forms of entertainment, I discovered the Wii Fit tucked behind our other video games.

I had completely forgotten that we still had the Wii Fit, or that I would enjoy it so much when I began playing it again. I couldn't really help myself, it seemed entertaining and I am not rollin' in the dough to pay for a gym membership. So, why not? Spending a Friday night remember why I dedicated the majority of one summer to playing the Wii Fit which as the time seemed like a good time investment.

While I began to dive into all of the excitement, I was consumed by the creative graphics and vibrant characters. I didn't realize the many features that the Wii Fit offered. I guess when I am a little kid, my attention span is limited to playing fun games and critiquing mac n' cheese. Well now experiencing the Wii Fit, I found many new reasons to love it as an adult.

Clearly, the interesting games that the Wii Fit offers makes the idea of exercising seem more appealing. Surprisingly, it's pretty easy to become completely mesmerized by the game you're playing. For example, there is an obstacle course floating in the air with swinging wrecking balls that seems almost impossible to defeat.

Although the games offer an adventure, Wii Fit has other forms of exercise and health tips to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The Wii Fit allows people to create their own character and a trainer that will work with them throughout their journey. Similarly when you create your character to participate in the Wii Fit, it tailors your character to your own unique personality traits. Not only does it resemble you, but it demonstrates your progress over time.

At your own pace, you can take yoga classes, aerobics, and strength conditioning sessions in order to work out. Continually taking these courses will allow you to progress and the level of difficulty significantly increases.

Lastly, the Wii Fit gives people an opportunity to track their diet and count their calorie intake. Since tasks like these can be tedious, the Wii Fit creates a greater incentive for people to stay healthy.

Taking an interesting approach to kicking our lazy American butts into gear, the Wii Fit made it all so easy. Whether you are someone who wants to maintain a healthier lifestyle or you are just looking for a distraction on a Friday night, try the Wii Fit. It will prove worth your while.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
