How to get your family excited about exercise!

The last couple years have been real slow for me in the weight loss area. Trying to loose the weight gain from being pregnant and just to be more healthy is an on going battle. Especially when your family supports you and cheers you on, but making the change is also hard for them. So what do yo do to get your family excited about exercise? It's simple really. Get WII fit. We have had Wii fit now for about 2 weeks and it has been great. The kids really enjoy it and it doesn't feel like a chore. It's great because it weighs you and gives you tips. You set goals and it keeps track of your goals. And it's fun! The exercises really do work your muscles(i know because i'm sore at the end) but it feels more like a game than exercise so it makes you want to keep going. The competitive side in all of us, we keep going to try to beat our highest score. I've really enjoyed it and I know the kids are having fun and even Ron is having fun with it. Finally, we are all cheering eachother on becoming more healthy!
