Guest guest Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Ok, how many of you have seen one or played with one? Maybe your kids or grandkids? Well, I recently played on one when visiting some friends and I want one.....lol I quite imagine many would find it more interesting and desirable than you realize. I have never had any of the Nintendos or similar nor had interest. However, the Wii has amazing interactivity that even those of us on oxygen can enjoy. I can't go out and play tennis but I could on it. It can be a mild form of getting any of us up out of the chair and moving around and playing. I bowled and played darts and baseball and tennis. I didn't try the guitar hero. You actually go through the motions of the sport just lightly and smaller. You make motions like throwing the ball or swinging the bat. Just to me it seems like something fun to do that I can do in my living room and while not exercise it is activity. Maybe Santa Claus will bring me one. Nope. I haven't been good.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Bruce, It's funny you brought up the Wii.... as you know I spent time last week at my sisters and her son, my nephew has a Wii. He's nearly 15 so has all the typical games but also has some of the kinds of things you talked about and also a very intriguing program called Wii Fit. If I had the money I'd buy a system tomorrow just to be able to use Wii Fit. I played with it enough to know that it would be a tremendous help to me. You can tailor your moves to your ability level as you mentioned and utilize different features within the program. There's yoga, strength training, balance and aerobics. I just loved the thing and I'm not at all a video game afficianado either. It's amazing the things technology can accomplish! Beth Age 48 Fibrotic NSIP 06/06 UCTD 07/08 Change everything.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Bruce: Both my sons have them, but they both either got married, or will be married Sept 6 and they took theirs with them! I would like to buy one, but I don't know if the wife will want to spend the money. I'm gonna try. I really think it could help me physically. I faileed my last stress test a few months ago. In the past, I would have to stop because my legs wouldn't carry me, but this time I couldn't breath. I am not on CO2 yet. The doctor won't let me take rehab at the hospital and told me to work out at home. If they won't let me excersise in a supervised hospital environment, I don't want to chance it at home. Last two years have been with the VA, but I think I'll return to my private doctors and see what they have to say. Anyway, I would like the Wii!

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hi Bruce, My grandson has one and my oldest son has one and I have played it and absolutely love it!! I want one, too!! I am hoping to get one from Santa, as well. Don't know about the being good part but I would still love to have one!! My grandson stayed with me during the day while school was out for the summer and he is 10 and we had a blast playing it. The tennis is really fun. I like the bowling, too. They have a Wii Fitness game, too, that has yoga. My grandson has the Carnival games and we threw darts at balloons just like at the Fair!! Was really fun. I agree. Great exercise!!CaroASTHMA 1976,OSTEOARTHRITIS 2002, COPD 02/06, IPF 08/07, UIP 01/08, RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS 03/08 SJOGREN SYNDROME 07/08Mississippi Subject: Re: WiiTo: Breathe-Support Date: Wednesday, August 27, 2008, 12:41 AM Bruce: Both my sons have them, but they both either got married, or will be married Sept 6 and they took theirs with them!

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I have been waiting to get the Wii with the Wii Fit bundle for several weeks now. Unfortunately, they are selling like hotcakes and are hard to find locally...they are even sold out online at bestbuy.com and walmart.com. My son told me they are available down in Florida where he is, so I may have him send me one. Our local hospital has it in their Physical Therapy department. There was a story last spring about one of the university football players using it to rehab after shoulder surgery!
