There's nothing that Capucine does that is not mind-bendingly adorable. Here, the French video phenom tackles the Wii Fit, and even though she doesn't do too well (which she acknowledges), I am still jealous over the fact that
my video game exercising never looked this cute.
Wii-fit !

For as long as I can remember, I've always given my dad socks, underwear, books, and golf balls for Christmas. Every now and then I'll find one spectacular gift, but most of the time it's the same old stuff.
This year, surprise your pop with a sweet stash of goodies that are sure to make him sit back and revel in your creativity and generosity.

I was pretty surprised to hear that
Wii Fit has just beaten Grand Theft Auto IV in video game sales — who woulda thunk it that the Nintendo-exercising contingent would best the shoot-em-up contingent?
If you followed my progress, you'd know that I lost a few pounds and gained some skills in my
month-long Wii Fitness challenge, so I'm a believer, but that was several months ago.
While I did it largely as an experiment, I want to know if those of you who helped beat GTA IV and bought the Wii Fit, have actually gotten fitter as a result.

I've been looking everywhere for a Wii Fit Yoga Mat ever since I saw it in the
DreamGear Fitness Bundle, and behold — just yesterday I spotted the fit-worthy accessory in the game section of Target, and had to hold myself back from dropping it in my cart (gotta prioritize game accessories in this economy, right?). But I suppose the $30 price isn't too much to spend
on my favorite Wii Fit exercise!
What other Wii Fit accessory did I find in the aisles that had my fingers itching to swipe my credit card?

Wii Fit fanatics, have I got the ultimate product for you. DreamGear has just come out with a
Fitness Bundle that includes all the
Wii Fit goodies you could ever want. For $60, you get a rechargeable battery pack, USB charging cable, jeli sleeve, fitness mat, travel bag, and one pair of "textured" socks.

Apparently what a geek wants is to coat all her gadgets in gels. They're ubiquitous among
BlackBerrys and iPhones, and I've seen them for
Mighty Mice (mouses?), and now:
Silicone Sleeves for the Wii Fit Balance Board ($20).
I have a love/hate relationship with gel cases; while they're great at protecting your gear (especially in the case of a fall), the light ones tend to get discolored and murky looking, and they are lint-magnets (ever leave your gel-covered BlackBerry in your handbag with a floating tissue?

Although my
Wii Fit 30 day Challenge is over, I have continued to use it and enjoy its benefits - I've taken up yoga, but I'm still enlisting the WF to guide me through some great balance games and strength training workouts at home. And even though Wii creator Shigeru Miyamoto stated in a recent
Wired Magazine interview, that the
Wii Fit is more of a "communication tool for families and a form of interactive entertainment" than a game, as far as I'm concerned I'd still call it a pretty good (and fun) workout.

I'm a huge fan of celebrity trainer,
Jillian Michaels; she is so hardcore. Not only does she push her clients physically, she pushes them emotionally as well. And they're stronger because of it.

Well,
my month long journey with the Wii Fit has come to an end. Although
I had a lot of fun (and lost a few pounds in the process), I'm actually excited to take my workouts to the next level! I was never a gym class sort of person, but using the Wii Fit's yoga workouts, really have me itching to get back to the gym and try out a full-fledged yoga class!
