in Introduce Yourself
Hello,

My name is Molly and I'm new to the site.

I am really embarrassed to go to a gym, I don't really have a clue what I'm doing... and I don't like the 'stares' from the more experienced exercisers. I have a hard time sticking to exercise so I decided I'm going to get a Wii + the Wii Zumba program and STICK TO IT.

My goals are to lose some weight, feel better about myself, look better in my clothes... and get a date (maybe!) I'm 29 and can't get a date... so I figure, first-thing's-first. I'll work on myself, and my attitude.

Has anyone had any luck with the Wii programs?

Thanks!

    Welcome!

    I used to have trouble sticking with an exercise program until I started doing ONLY activities that I enjoy. Took me a while to find them (and most of them aren't what people would traditionally consider exercise) but once I did, I was unstoppable. If this isn't the program that gets you excited to move, keep experimenting. You'll find it :)

    YOU CAN DO IT!

    Hi Molly!

    I have bought the Wii MyShape and it is really good. It comes with a camera and it tracks your movements and you can see yourself on the screen! I enjoy it a lot.
    I have been thinking of buying the Zumba game to vary my workout a bit. Please let me know what do you think of the game if you get it!

    Lots of love and good luck honey!

    That is in fact-mostly how I get my exercise. I love the Wii-and hope to get Zumba soon. I currently have Wii Fit and Biggest Loser-and they are both really great. I have Gold's Gym Boxing-but don't like the music on it-so I can't use it. Plays only one song....

    Thanks everyone! I can't wait to get my Wii in the mail; I also ordered the 'Just Dance 2' game. Being new to the Wii... I have no idea what to expect... but I'm so glad to hear some great feedback/results! If all goes well, I'll be saving for the Wii Fit game with balance board!

    I just got a Wii, I just have Zumba Love It! I cannot wait to get more games. I find I enjoy it a lot more than most of my exercise DVDs.
