Kim, that sounds like a blast!

When the Wii first came out, they showed a news story of senior citizens using the game in retirement homes. One gentleman was in a wheelchair and bowled perfect games every time.

i still have mine and pulled it out. Since I am WFH and not going out, I might as well have fun and keep moving. I love the boxing game and the step aerobics.

I decided to do the Wii Fit Body Test for the first time in ages. The Wii will nag you if you haven't done it for a while. I had to put new batteries in the board.

I had done the test a while back and didn't do too well. This time my Wii Fit "Age" was 34. Thirty years younger that my real age. I did better on the Soccer game. No shoes to the face. I didn't do well with the marble balance game.

We bought Ring Fit for Christmas, but never really got into it. There were too many dialogue breaks between moves to make it a workout for me...and too many exercises to make it a fun game for my tweens, lol.

(They prefer to just hop on the elliptical when I make them exercise.)

Anyway...I listed mine on eBay for what I bought it for ($70) plus $15 shipping. It still has 2 days left and it's up to over $180 plus shipping!!

I suppose parents are desperate to entertain their kids now and I think it's OOP?? Idk, it seems crazy, but I thought I'd let y'all know.
