Wii fit anyone?

ksimons

Hi! I'm new around here! I was just wondering if anybody has a Wii Fit and how they like it. I have one and I try to use it at least 4 times a week. I love to do step aerobics and hula hoop!

My kids also love the Wii fit :ohwell: Every time I get it out they are bugging me to use it!

I love my Wii Fit, but I haven't been able to use it for awhile since I've been very sick!

I received my Wii Fit last thrusday and am, I must say, addicted.

Wii has been my best source of fun excercise. I work on the 9th floor and have walked up and down those flights. I've done some ice skating, well ok, only twice, also the Gazelle.

Wii allows me to sweat and have a great time playing Tennis and Boxing and I really like the step program and skiing. I'm having a blast, blasting away those pounds

:drinker:

I totally love my wii fit, my kids love it too, we usually have a couple nights a week that we all do the wii fit, my 9 and 5 year olds love it to death. I am trying to keep them healthy so that they don't grow up like i did.

Has anyone found any information on how many caloried the different exercises burn? I know alot depends on how well you do the exercise... but I was looking for a ballpark figure.

this was passed to me by another member, hope this helps

Tennis:
The real sport: 8.1 calories per minute
Wii Sports: 5.3 calories per minute

Boxing:
The real sport: 10.2 calories per minute
Wii Sports: 7.2 calories per minute

Golf:
The real sport: 3.9 calories per minute
Wii Sports: 3.1 calories per minute

Bowling:
The real sport: 7.2 calories per minute
Wii Sports: 3.5 calories per minute

Baseball:
The real sport: 7.3 calories per minute
Wii Sports: 4.5 calories per minute

Off course everyone expected that real sports make you burn more calories than the Wii Sports games, but during their research they certainly didn’t play too active. The just flicked their wrists and didn’t throw their whole body into the game.


I hope this helps you out. I found it on the Wii healthy sight
