This week we're doing something different on our "Southern Living Mama Blogger of the Week" -- featuring a site that features four contributors.
The "Wii Mommies Cool Guide To Fitness"is maintained by four women (two of whom are in the South) who write about their adventures in exercise with the Ninento Wii.
The site was started when South Carolinian Julie Maloney (left) shared how she lost 60 lbs using the Wii Fit. Several months later she was joined by three others moms (Jenn Hethcoat, Sarah Pinnix, and Cynthia Werry) to create the "Wii Mommies Cool Guide To Fitness."
From their website:
"Each of the four Wii Mommies writes a weekly blog post offering tips and tricks on exercise and diet. Fitness Friday posts are written by one of our forum members sharing how the Wii games are enhancing their lives on a daily basis."
Why we're following: These moms are finding ways to use new technology to fit activity and fun into their daily lives, and sharing tips with other busy women.
One of our favorite posts: Julie's Fitness Friday, describing how she got started with Wii Fitness and how it's improved her posture, strength, and helped her lose weight.
Reading these posts has inspired me to try out Wii Fitness -- it looks like a lot of fun!
Question: Have you used Wii Fitness, or other video game technology, to get in shape? What other technology are you using to help you exercise -- applications for your iPhone? New heart rate monitors? We want tohear about it -- please leave your thoughts in the "Comments" section below.
And as always, we want to hear about Southern Mama bloggers, especially those who write about health, wellness, balance, and healthy eating. Please leave your suggestions below.
