Hard to exercise in summer’s heat — how about you?
I find it hard to get out and exercise in the summer’s heat. I find winter’s chill (as long as the ice doesn’t trip me up) preferable to that nasty 95-100 degree stuff we’ve had here in the Ozarks for the last two or three weeks. Almost makes me get out and buy one of those ellipticals, treadmills, or exercise bicycles I’ve thought about in the past, though I don’t think there’s much room for such in our old house right now.
But, I ramble with the heat.
The point I intended for this post, before the heat and humidity struck my aging body/brain continuum, was related to all the gaming consoles out there with exercise components — more specifically, Nintendo’s “everyone-should-own-one-but-I-don’t-yet” Wii. Any of you have Wii and use it for regular daily exercise? Or do you have Wii and use it just for games, not exercise or sports applications?
I confess computer games, gaming, and all the rest is something I’ve never done, nor did my kids when they were still young and living at home. But I’ve been intrigued by all the stuff I’ve seen online, particularly the Wii stuff.
Maybe something like that would get me off the old behind and onto my feet to get more movement/exercise done — even in this nasty Ozarks heat. (Weather alert: We’re supposed to get some showers and we’re looking at our first forecast high under 90 — tomorrow — which we’ve seen in several weeks. Of course, today we’re supposed to hit 98 or 99. Ugh.)
