Way back in November I told you about the WiiFit and how I hoped we had managed to snag a Wii before it was available in the United States because I thought it looked fabulous. At that time I was hoping to see the Wii Fit in January or February -lol- It’s April now holey schmoley!
Anyhow Wii Fit will be a reality soon and you can pre-order for the May 21, 2008 release date here in the states. Woohoo! If we weren’t moving and pinching pennies right now I would seriously consider putting in a preorder for one. I think it’s going to be a great product for the Wii and it is definitely going to make people think differently about Nintendo.
My upcoming townhome inspection reminds me that we have everyday, useful gadgets all over the house that keep us safe and alert us when something might be wrong in our home. How often we take these things for granted.
We have three smoke detectors that tell us when there may potentially be a fire in the house. I don’t know about yours, but mine also detects fast increases in heat, if my clothes dryer gets too hot, or the fire in the fireplace is too big that sucker will start to beep. We have air filters on the furnace/ac unit that help clean the air circulating through our home. A good filter is very helpful for the boys asthma and allergies.
We also have a carbon monoxide detector in our home to monitor carbon monoxide levels. Carbon monoxide leaks are silent and unnoticeable at first. By time you realize it’s happened it might just be too late, and no one wants that to happen. Want to see extreme safety detection gear? You could always check out these methane gas detectors.
As a reminder March 9th is daylight savings time ~ spring those clocks ahead one hour! This is also a good time to change the batteries in your smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector. That way you don’t forget. I just bought a big pack of batteries for the occassion myself.
Yes, I’m talking to you. Put down the Fitness Magazine and the cup of coffee loaded with sugar and get your butt in gear. You set goals for yourself and you’re slacking already. January isn’t even over yet. How many times did you go for a walk on your lunch break? How many hours did you spend on the elliptical at the gym this month? If you’re like the rest of the world you probably got bored by the second week of January and went back to the way things were before. That’s okay. Don’t feel bad about it …. do something about it. Make a change.
My mom suffers from fibromyalgia and I personally have arthritis in my hands and knees, so anytime I see a soothing relaxing pain relieving gizmo I am all ears and very alert. Some things work, some things don’t work at all, and some things are just helpful in the relaxation department. A lot of times just getting relaxed is the hardest part.
This Elasto Gel Cervical Collar Wrap was designed for fibromyalgia pain relief. Apply Hot or Cold Therapy for the neck for that relief you really need! Perfect to treat fibromyalgia pain and discomfort. The Elasto-Gel Cervical Collar is made of a tough, flexible gel that is covered with a four-way stretch material. This allows for maximum conformity, heat transfer, and comfort. It’s made specifically to contour to the neck and upper spine areas, one of the most common areas fibro patients experience discomfort.
Now you can have a nifty automatic soap dispenser right at home on your bathroom or kitchen counter. Or if you’ve got a small business or local shop this is a great little thing to add. Hands free, sensor activated and affordabley priced. Also good for kids and husbands with greasy slimey hands! Now worries, sleek design and modern look won’t distract from your fancy Hansgrohe faucet but it also won’t hide the pile of dirty dishes in the sink …. Order online or go to Target.
Or win it… either way. I love Oral B’s powered toothbrushes! I used to think that they were just for lazy brushing, but when my dental hygienist recommended I switch to using one a few years ago and to toss the boring old plain toothbrush I found out there was a big difference. It actually did a better job.

Well, that is if you have a Wii. I haven’t managed to snag one yet. One of the things people love about the Wii is that it gets you moving and doing fun things. Wii Fit is just another thing to add that. You can even do Yoga with your Wii! Yoga + Video Games = You fit and having fun! The release date hasn’t been announced yet, but you can sign up at Amazon to get notifed when the Wii Fit is ready to go. It looks as though it’s going to be about $70 for the WiiFit that comes complete with balance board.
As users stand on the Wii Balance Board, included with Wii Fitness, their body’s overall balance is tied to the game in a way they’ve never experienced before.
The active-play phenomenon started by Wii Sports now spreads to your whole body thanks to a pressure-sensitive Wii balance board, which comes packed with Wii Fit. The board is used for an extensive array of fun and dynamic activities, including aerobics, yoga, muscle stretches and games. Many of these activities focus towards providing a “core” workout, a popular exercise method that emphasizes slower, controlled motions. Family members will have fun staying active and talking about and comparing their results and progress on a new channel on the Wii Menu.
