    Congratualtions everyone who has completed their workouts.
    I have lost 1 lb in 3 days! great start. Thanks for posting this challenge, it's keeping me on my toes, thinking when I can squeeze it in. Last night did 30 minutes of free step. planning to do the rest tomorrow morning.
    Is there a specific day that the challenge week starts or is it whatever suits us?

    Everyone's doing so GREAT!!! I plan to fit my last 40 minutes of Step in over the weekend... lulu64uk, I've wondered the same thing about this week -- it's gone so fast!!

    krea4 -- Great weight loss, well done! We started this first challenge out on Monday, so I think it'd be good for the group to start a new challenge each Monday. That'll give me time to get some ideas over the weekend for each week's new challenge. :)

    You're all doing an amazing job..... I think maybe next week's challenge should be a little more... challenging.. what do ya say?! Any ideas? I'm up for taking suggestions, for sure, and it looks like the Thursday weigh ins (with your number from whatever day you normally weigh in on) is going to work well.. that's great! Thanks everyone for participating!!

    Have a GREAT Friday! :)

    Goodmorning All,

    Today to keep a little variety in my routine I will be doing my recumbent bike:wink:
    I hope this doesn't shake things up because I like to take a break from the Wii sometimes
    so I don't get bored.:ohwell:

    30 minutes bike

    Well done, Shirley! I HAVE to have a pretty wide variety of workouts and exercises so I don't get bored. My Wii Fit activities pretty much supplement my main workouts... running, yoga, 30 Day Shred, other Jillian Michaels workouts, bellydancing, general dance, etc. Great calorie burn today! :)

    Crazy week here with not much time for exercise! So far I have:

    Thursday: 41 minutes of exercise (36 minutes of Gold's Cardio Gym and 5 minutes of stretching afterwards to try to help my arm feel better!) = 332 calories burned
    Friday (today): 32 minutes of exercise (30 minutes of Wii Fit Free Step and 2 minutes of Rhythm Kung Fu) = 151 calories burned.

    Hoping to finish the challenge up tomorrow. I'm trying to not succumb to a sinus infection so taking the exercise easy for the next few days!

    I missed this one last week but I would love to be a part of it going forward! I have only managed to do my WiiFit on Sundays since I got it, although it is just a matter of walking out to the garage to turn it on... We have a loose floorboard in the living room so working out has to be done in our semi-converted garage, LOL! I would love to have the motivation to go out and do something on it at least 3 or 4 times a week rather than once a week!

    Are we keeping the same challenge each week or is it changing?

    I know I'm a little late to this particular party but does anybody mind if I join in? I'm really struggling to get motivated at the moment so if I have a weekly challenge it might help to get my butt into gear.

    My weigh in day is Monday and I was down .2 today, to 148.8. That's where I was back in mid-December, before I gained a couple pounds over the holidays so hopefully I will keep going down, down down. I am participating in another February challenge and my goal was to get down to 145, but that's going to be tough!

    Anyway, I did my 1 hours of Wii Fit this past week, along with my other exercise - an hour Body Conditioning class at my gym on Saturday and some outdoor walking on Sunday. (I am a geocacher, so our walking included trudging trough some snow and uneven terrain).

    Looking forward to this week's Wii Fit challenge. Bring it on!

    IS THERE ANYWAY JUST TO KEEP DOING ONE THING FOR AN HOUR LIKE STEPPING WALKING RUNNING..OR DO U JUST KEEP STARTING OVER??

    Try EA Sports Active and the More Workouts version. You can do pre-programmed workouts or create your own workouts (running, steps, boxing and lots of other activities). I have a lot of Wii fitness 'games' (don't think they should be named 'games'), but the EA Sports Active ones are my favourites.

    I'm in! I saw your 4000 kcal goal. Don't think I can do that (can I buy time somewhere?), but 2500 kcal must be possible.

    Eh, why not. I'm coming up on the end of 100 push-ups/200 sit-ups, and was just thinking I didn't know what I'd do for those days, so now I can alternate WiiFit with c25k and see what we get. Sounds good to me!

    If you do find someplace to buy time, please let me know! Hehe... I think I aimed a little too high last week, so I've actually brought this week's calorie burn goal down to 3,000. I need to focus on allowing my body some 'healing' time in between big calorie burn workouts... especially now that I've been concentrating on adding more strength training to my routine. :)

    Did 90 minutes on the Wii tonight, 30 of which were balancing games. Last weeks total for me was 5 hours!!

    i dont think i could do one hour on the wii fit. its either too repetative or the games are too short.

    i usually alternate between advanced step and the advanced boxing (10 minutes). sometimes i will throw in the obstacle course or the kung fu but they are pretty short. and the hula hoop one is just annoying.

    all the rest are too low ni the MET thing.
