I Used Wii Fit at Physical Therapy and it Kicked My Ass

On Monday, I used Wii Fit as part of my physical therapy for my ailing knee. Some of the therapists know that I write about games and some don’t. I think the ones that didn’t were disappointed that I wasn’t incredibly amused by the game. I didn’t bother to tell them why because I was amused that they were surprised that I wasn’t amused. (It was internally hilarious. Trust me.)

Getting to the actual game, I did a bunch of balance exercises and some light stepping. I haven’t played the game in a long, long time — you know, when my knee was in working order. I was surprised at how challenging some of the exercises were. I definitely felt it in my quadriceps the next day.

It’s also funny that my gamer instinct took over. In my previous sessions, I concentrated on doing everything properly, not overcompensating with my hips, and not getting hurt. In a Marble Madness-style game, all of that went out the window. It became all about winning. Ha!

Anyway, I just thought I’d share my worlds colliding with Wii Fit and physical therapy.

  1. I did a strength one when my girlfriend bought this game, it was pretty difficult. A one handed push-up with one right foot on top of left ankle. Very hard.

  2. I want to buy this game (mostly for my wife), but I don't know what the difference is between the Wii Fit package and the Wii Fit Plus package aside from the minigames. Which one is better? Can someone help me out with this?

    I'm surprised that Mr. Padilla hasn't yet encouraged me to use his site's Amazon links to buy the Wii Fit.
