Wii Fit Yoga with my Wife

Posted by Brad Hefta-Gaub under: Flexibility.

How can you do Wii Fit with another person? Well, you can’t really, but I followed along with her.

I tried Yoga a couple years ago, and went pretty regularly 2x-3x per week for about 3 months. But I stopped when I got injured. I never really felt like I fit in there. Although the teacher was very nice and welcoming, the class was filled with a lot of intense type-A people… many athletes, and I always felt like I was being judged… being aggressive about flexibility and yoga seemed like a weird vibe to me.

Anyway, I think I will make a Wii Fit routine that has just yoga moves in it, and do it as a regular item as well. I like the idea of the balance feedback during something like a try pose.

Today must have been yoga day. We did family Wii Fit yoga, too. My daughter loved it and is already asking when we’re going to do it again.
