I was playing Wii Sports last night and after several tennis matches and some spirited boxing matches (which I won, naturally), I decided to take the Wii Age Fitness test.
The first challenge was tennis; specifically returning 50 volleys and keeping them in-bounds; I was 48/50.
The second challenge was a homerun hitting contest. Hit as many home runs as I could in 10 pitches; I hit nine homers including two that were out of the park - all steriod- and HGH-free.
The third challenge was boxing related. Your “trainer” throws tennis balls at you and you have to duck and dodge them - a great ab workout if you do it correctly. I scored pretty high; points for the number of balls dodged and negative points for balls that hit you.
I was feeling pretty good about my performance and thought I’d score a pretty low “Wii Fitness Age.” Imagine my shock when I saw “36” come up on the screen! WHAT?! NO WAY! Then, just as I was about to fill out my AARP membership form, the 36 start to slide down the screen and there was this whimsical music playing before “23” jumped onto the screen.
Ha ha, Wii. Very funny. My fitness age was really 23, but it would appear that Nintendo saw fit to give the Wii a sense of humor. We are not amused.
