An Evening with Wii Zumba Party and Lean Cuisine

Someone asked me if I wanted to try out the Wii Zumba Party Game. Someone asked me if I wanted to try out the game and then sit down to dinner with a Lean Cuisine meal. I think there really isn’t any better way to jump start a diet and exercise program. One that I should really have started a long time ago.

Have you tried Zumba? It’s the latest fad in exercise. Part dance, part aerobics, lots of Latin music and some moves that will tone you up in no time. This is definitely the most fun workout you’ll ever have. I am NOT the most coordinated person, but that was the beauty of trying out Zumba Party for the Wii - it was in the privacy of my own home so I wasn’t in a huge room with tons of other women who I’m sure were better at this than I was. I really didn’t know what to expect but I was really surprised: It was FUN! Lots of fun. I liked it better than Just Dance because I really felt like even though I might not have been doing all the moves right, I was working out pretty hard and not even realizing it. After the first 20 minute class I was wiped out.

I’ve been telling myself that I need to work out more (as if I was working out at all). I love that Redbox rents Wii games so you can try them out before you shell out a ton of money on something you might not even like. I’m definitely loving Zumba and now I want to go buy my own so I can get back into a regular exercise routine.

Take a look at my shopping experience with Redbox and you’ll notice I also shopped for dinner while I was at it. Temera and I bought some Lean Cuisine meals to keep up the fitness/healthy routine… unfortunately, the rest of the family wasn’t buying it. You’ll see…

So I wasn’t sure I was going to show this to you… but if you promise not to laugh at me and leave me rude comments, you can take a look at me working out to Zumba Party. Remember… you promised not to laugh.

Laughing yet? I’m not sure I loved the comment about me breaking a hip. Just how old do my kids think I am? I think my 6 year old daughter did pretty well when she tried it out.

Temera's Lean Cuisine

This is the Lean Cuisine meal my daughter chose. I love that the meals are so easy to just pop in the microwave, but I don’t love eating them out of the plastic container they come in.

My Lean Cuisine Meal

My meal I decided to put on a real plate because it makes me feel like I’m not eating a frozen meal. One tip to portion control? Put your meal on a small plate, like a salad or appetizer plate, instead of a dinner plate. That way it looks like you are eating way more than you really are and you don’t feel so deprived. AND… you aren’t filling up your plate with too much food.

I loved that I was able to do this with my kids… and using the Wii game for your exercise makes it more of a GAME and not so much a CHORE.
