 On a dazzling December day, two days before Christmas. I was in Jordan spending some good times with Family and friends back home. I lived in a quit calm quite neighborhood, where my friends lived nearby. Every Christmas me and my two sisters exchange Christmas gifts, it’s just a habit in our family. For the first time I was looking forward for the gift I am getting from my sisters, I had a feeling that I am going to like it. On 24/12/2005 at Christmas Eve, I opened my gift and it was a WII fit plus Nintendo. My first reaction was like what is wrong with those people? I am 20 years old and they got me a Nintendo for Christmas, and deep inside I got so pissed. But ofcourse I faked it and acted so happy and amazed by this Nintendo or whatever they call it Wii fit plus. It was the first time I hear about this game, but I got shocked when I realized what piece of technology it is. This Wii Nintendo is more than just a video game. It combines both fitness and fun games at the same time. I never imagined myself sitting in front of a TV for hour’s exercising or even playing games with my dad or my mom. Surprisingly, this Wii fit plus is for both young and old people, I really got into this game, it encouraged me and my mom especially to maintain good health conditions and to become fit. Every morning in Christmas brake I would spend a minimum of two hours if not more exercising and playing on the Wii fit plus. It inspired me to exercise more, to look after what I eat, I became a healthier person after owning this Wii. What is more amazing is that, while you are playing and making real life movements you can see them on the screen, for example playing tennis, shooting the ball, or even ski, jump in real life and you can see it come up on the screen. And in this way an individual gets more involved in the game itself. Above all this, the Wii fit plus displays the Wii fit age according to how you exercise and this is calculated on the balance board, and it takes into account ones actual age. And through this way it makes you get more motivated to improve your exercising in order to get a better Wii fit age. After I owned this game, I started to spend some more quality time at home with my parents, friends, sisters, and family exercising and playing different games together. My young cousins would also enjoy the Wii games. And this makes it even better, it works for different ages, the young would enjoy it as much as the old would. It changed my daily routine, the way I exercise, the way I move, it shaped my lifestyle. I mostly exercised with my mother on yoga, aerobics, balance games, shaping games. Owning a Wii at home made life much easier especially to my mother. I believe Wii is a perfect technology tool for old and young people to enjoy their time at home; For young people, to find something entertaining to do at their free times. And for old people, to feel comfortable exercising at home at their own living room and at their own free time. This Wii fit plus gift reminded me of the childhood days, getting a gift for a birthday and Christmas was a big deal for me. And this Wii fit plus gift is really important to me now, since I have to exercise each day, and if I don’t I feel that something is missing. It helps me get in a better mood when I am feeling down, and when I can’t focus and study it is the only way I get in a better mood and I feel happy and relieved. This game did really change my lifestyle, I am a happier person when I wake up in the morning and I exercise at home. This game is really inspiring for all the ranges young and old, and it really affected me and motivated me in a very good way.
