    My personal calorie burn for the week was . . . 2,455!

    AND, if I added up everything correctly... as a group... we burned a total of 6,786 !!! SO close to our goal of 10,000! :-D

    GREAT JOB everyone!!!

    ***** NEW CHALLENGE... Starting tomorrow, Monday, April 11, 2011 *****

    I'd like to do a repeat of our calorie burn challenge. Let's see how much closer we can get to a GROUP TOTAL of 10,000.

    ALSO, for Wii Fit-specific workouts this week... let's focus on stretching our bodies with at least an hour of YOGA.

    brents_princess: Here's a link to an article that sums up the differences between Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus pretty well: http://www.usatoday.com/tech/columnist/jinnygudmundsen/2009-10-08-wii-fit-plus_N.htm

    When you do an hour of yoga, what poses have you gotten together that will be good to put in the program?

    It has some new exercises, but it also gives you the ability to create a workout routine (without having to go and choose each exercise in the middle of doing it) using strength and yoga moves. It also gives you the ability to do a quick weigh in.

    I've been absent here, but my total calorie burn for last week was 4301. I didn't use the Wii at all though since the weather here was outstanding. I love yoga, and it's supposed to rain quite a bit this week! :smile:

    hiya I'd like to join in if I can?

    I'm trying to do free step whilst watching tv to burn some extra calories. Did an hour and 10 mins yesterday doing 20 minutes free step and 50 minutes using the wii fit plus routines where you tell it which areas you want to work on and it picks the exercises. It was going well until it had me doing jacknifes!! my stomach muscles ache!

    I'd like to jump in now. It's time to get my butt moving again.

    so, I just got the wii fit balance board. How accurate is the weight measurement on it. It seems to go down quite a bit rather quickly when my home scale does not register any change ????

    So I pulled out my balance board and hooked my Wii Fit back up for the first time in nearly a year last night. Got 30 minutes in and actually broke a sweat which surprised me. This is a good start to get me moving again. :-)

    I find it very precise it always gives me the same weight that the scale at the gym gives me..

    It weighed me several pounds less after dinner than the scale at the gym had weighed me before dinner.

    Ok, so I was feeling funky last night after I had weighed myself two nights ago with no loss. I got on the balance board after a full day of eating and it weighed me 2 pounds less. That was just enough to make me weigh again this morning, which is my official weigh-in anyway and the Wii was right. I lost 2.2 pounds. :-)

    I got in 32 minutes last night and another 12 minutes this morning (that was all the time I had to spare).

    I know it's not the BEST workout I could be doing, but it's definitely better than sitting on the couch. And I'm having FUN! :-)

    NEW CHALLENGE STARTING MONDAY, APRIL 18, 2011

    +=+=+=+=+ ONE HOUR or more of WII FIT Basic, Advanced, or Free Step +=+=+=+=+

    This was our very first Wii Fit challenge, so I thought I'd bring a familiar one back for those who are new to the group.

    Feel free to incorporate this into your regular workout routine in any way that suits you -- all in one go, a few minutes a day, anything goes! Also, it's up to YOU as far as whether you'd like to make this ONE HOUR each DAY or ONE HOUR for the entire WEEK, whatever suits you and keeps you motivated.

    Stop back here and let us know how/when you complete it, and encourage others to complete it as well!

    Everyone's doing such a GREAT job keeping this thread going... amazing work and way to use our Wiis. Keep it up!! :)
