Nintendo Wii – Retro Fitness

I’ll say this loud, “I love my Nintendo Wii!”, it’s a great console. It’s not what I play everyday. The first reason I love my Wii is because you can get your mates around and have some good old fashioned multi-controller fun. Sure I could buy a switch and some controllers and get in the modern era, but thats expensive when I only play it after a few drinks.

I bought my Wii at a car boot for about £15 all in and I bought my Wii balance board for £5, both items were an absolute bargain. However this is not the reason I love it.

I love it because it is helping me get healthy, once a day for 20 minutes, I’ll have a round of Golf, a best of 5 sets on the tennis, baseball and bowling. Sure these are not providing me the full excercise potential of any of these sports, but given the current Covid-19 pandemic we’re all cooped up and can’t go much of anywhere. If you have a Wii stuck in the loft or in a cupboard somewhere, dig it out and have some fun. You might find that it encourages you to get out and about once the pandemic is over.
