Warning
“While using the Wii Balance Board, if you experience excessive fatigue, shortness of breath, chest tightness, dizziness, discomfort or pain, STOP USE IMMEDIATELY and consult a doctor.” (Bold added by me, obviously.)

Video from the Richmond Twestival →
This isn’t terribly exciting video, but you can see me a couple of times in the background. A little more than halfway through I am seen talking to @rvamag, and right towards the end you can witness me chatting with @maryframer. (I’m the tall dude in the red shirt and glasses.)
In case you’re wondering, no, this video was not embeddable.

Vertigo physical therapist: I really want you to go on more walks.
Me: Does walking to the bar count?
Vertigo physical therapist: Walking TO the bar is okay, but walking BACK doesn't count.
