"Get to Medical!"

^Points to subject header: I'm tempted to try and title all my journal entries with quotes from 'Aliens.'

Just did five songs (about 20 minutes) of some Just Dance 3 on Wii. Me and hubby noticed when buying the game that it had a exercise option but I did that the other day and it looked the same as the dance option and for some reason I like the dance option better.

It was really fun! I danced to some Katy Perry "California Girls", some Britney Spears "One more time", some Taio Cruz "Dynamite", some Cee Lo's "Forget you" and even though I was feeling a little wiped I did a fifth song, LMFAO(?) "Party Rock Anthem."

During the dancing I talked and shouted at the dancers on the screen, telling them, 'my knees didn't bend that way!' or that that move wasn't happening. If I couldn't do the move I usually just kept doing the previous move. At least I was still moving. Plus, I like shouting at the TV.

Also I noticed the right hand is always lit up on the dancers but my right arm seemed to be getting more of a workout than the left arm so I switched the controller during one song and it was doable but you kind of have to switch some of the dance moves around. Still fun.

I might go and get the other ones, the Just Dance 1 & 2 once I work out some more to this one. The kids like it and like when I get up and dance with them.

Okay, need to stare at some fic and see if it will write itself. *stares hard*

Hee, I love Just Dance too. One thing I like about the Wii game Exerbeat is that, though the dances/music aren't as fun, you can set it to use two controllers so that both arms "count."

Ooo, I might have to check that out. Two controllers might be what I need in order to feel like both sides of my body get a workout.

Exerbeat is cheesy as hell but once you get past the beginning & unlock more things it offers a decent workout (at least for an unfit person like me) with lots to choose from.

I have Just Dance 1 and 2. On 1 they hadn't quite gotten the coding down, so the system doesn't register some of your dance moves. 2 is where they got it locked.

Thanks, good to know!

I dreamt I bought a Wii for some reason (I already have a PS3) and lately I've been thinking I could lose some weight. Maybe I should give this a go, it sounds like fun!

It is fun. I started seriously trying to exercise regularly back in April 2011. It's been hit and miss but what I've discovered is that I need different things to do.

Walking every day or every other day was boring. Kickboxing via some stuff on DVD and TV was fun and this is another thing that's fun and should keep me entertained for awhile.
