It's actually my college friends coming over to drink cocktails and watch the Olympics. Kind of a tradition that started in 1996 when a couple of us were taking the bar exam (in Jeff City- Autumn knows where it is) and opted to watch Olympic gymnastics instead of studying. It was all fine- we...

We love it. It's no substitute for the workout DVD's that most of us do, but it's great family fun. I agree that the yoga and balance challenges are great. My kids love boxing, tennis and running. Husband likes heading soccer balls and the tightrope. Even my 2 year old has a Mii and lieks...
