Wii Fit's combo push up/side plank exercise may be about the most sadistic thing ever put into a video game.

that's because planks are only just behind modern dance floor exercises in masochism factor.

It came out today in most places. I got mine yesterday, but didn't start using it til today. They were available in NYC on Monday. Apparently they're hella scarce.

@twigby - see, I got it because although I know I need to work out, I hate leaving the house, fighting for a parking spot, fighting to use the equipment I want, then coming home. For me it's one stop exercise shopping.

Whats so bad about pushups and planks?

Chrome Raven said, (231 days ago)

nothing's bad about them.


the plank, however, can be quite painful if you're not in good core shape.

wtf is a plank?

Chrome Raven said, (231 days ago)

it's an exercise used to strengthen your core. wiki that shit.

The big deal (for me anyway) is you have to place your hands on the wii balance board to do the push-up, which gives me a narrower stance than I'm used to/would like.
