Wii
We've had a Wii for about 3 years and I've not used it BUT I ordered a Walk it Out for the Wii. It's brand new and less than $28 on Amazon. It'll be shipped this coming week.
Meanwhile, I bought a 3 DVD set of Walk the Walk by Leslie Sansone and planned on doing that daily. The first is Miracle Mile and goes up to a 2 mile and weight loss workout. Then....
We heard of a family in an old house with no heat. The grandmother had taken in all her grand kids because of drug use. So, Jim and I decided to give them 2 of our space heaters. I called Grandma and she came to pick them up the next morning. A little girl of about 8 asked if she could use the bathroom. Grandma got in the car and the child was in there, in there, in there.... Finally she came out, slammed the door and ran quickly out of the house. Hmmmm.... I opened the door and saw the toilet overflowing with nasty paper and stuff. I grabbed a towel and threw it on the floor and rushed around the side to shut off the water....... and slipped. I hit my left thigh on the bathtub as I fell. It hurt sooooo bad and it hurt for days. It's still sore but only to the touch. I have a HUGE purple bruise. So, my plans to start were put off for a few days while my leg got better.
I'm determined to be active every day and stay healthy!0 -

So sorry to hear
Hi Diane,
So sorry to hear of your injury, + while helping others! Good for you for helping this family + good for you for your determination to be active everyday! I have read a lot that physical activity really helps in prevention of colon cancer, as well as prevention of re-occurrance + while undergoing treatment.0 -

Wii Wii Ma Cherie
Wii Walk it Out Info HERE
The Wii Walk it Out rewards you with new 'areas' plus 120 songs. I'd LOVE to go to Jazzercise but the classes are 20 miles each way during the time hubby gets off work. We have one car (no car note).
I'm thinking I'll walk on my trampette (mini trampoline) as long as I don't take a flying flip!
Ms R., I had the doctor look at my leg because of how awful it looks. She said taking aspirin caused it to bleed a little more than it would have and also would have helped prevent a blood clot, BUT this was not the type bruise she'd be concerned about. Thanks, tho.0
