It's funny. I seem to have lost my core, my center of gravity, after two kids and a handful of years (well, ok, almost a decade). Have you noticed that? I am not quite as balanced or limber as I used to be and I hope to remedy that this year. We have a Wii fit and it really is a cool little beast. The balance games are fun and really show you your

I think about getting back in shape quite often. That's all I do.... think about it. :) Great post about balance!

ReplyDeleteI think the Wii system is amazing. For some reason - I do quite well in the Yoga components (I think it's all the encouragement offered through the 'Trainer'. "You're doing great!" "Keep up the good work!" "You are really balanced today!" Etc.) - - but when it comes to the games where balance is necessary, I really suck.
I let exercise lapse in my life a few months ago ~ and I really need to remedy that. It does give me so much more energy, and I sleep better at night too.
Great illustration of the word. I'm not sure how to capture Balance yet - but will post something soon.
I am really wishing I had a Wii right now! But I do practice balance movements already without one - I read it gets worse as you get older (along with everything else!) so I'm trying to be pro-active, too. Good luck! It's a great resolution!
