Had a good workout session with the Wii and Limpit this afternoon.

Now I'm not into computer games as such, but I bought the 'Ravin Rabbids' game... and boy does it get you moving!

You earn points by shooting rampaging chickens - which is always good for stress relief (unless you're the chicken), "playing" along with various tunes (waving the remote/nunchuck around to make the instrument sound - impossible to do it with small movements and they have such classics as 'Born to be wild' and 'I'm no good', "dance" to the Jackson's 'ABC' or 'Le Freak', which is a definate get up and move around one, or just generally bounce up and down. Lots of movement, a good cardiac workout but murder on the elbows. The points are only a way of keeping score - Limpit is thrashing me, but it's all good fun and gets us moving around! It also provides a good laugh for anyone passing along the road outside - must remember to pull the curtains next time.

Oh, and I got my Wii Sport training age down from 54 to 45 - not bad seeing as how I was 80 on Boxing Day!
