    I love this!! I do it for 10 minutes everyday. Do you know how many calories it burns? What category do you put it under?

    I was wondering if anyone counted their Wii fit exercise calories!! We got a Wii for Christmas, and the Wii Fit, and I LOVE IT! I spent an hour on it this morning, and I think my favorite one is the hula hooping!! Gosh, my body is SO SORE this afternoon! LOL! Must be working!

    I think when I get bored (or master!) the Wii fit game, I am interested in getting the My Fitness Coach.

    I found hoola hooping under the cardio database and use that. It varies for me... I can burn about 56 calories for 10 minutes.

    Yup, love it!!

    I log it as cardio because I end up puffing like a loon..

    I find it works really well on my legs as well as my abs because of all the stabilization while I am twirling..

    My kids love to watch because they are usually the ones tossing me hoops and they cheer when I miss :grumble: :grumble:

    I got the Active Life Outdoor Challenge for the Wii for Christmas, but haven't gotten a chance to play. I got salmonella poisoning (merry christmas janiebeth) the day after Christmas, and have just started to feel OK.. Never want to go through that again.

    I'm glad that you asked about this. Our family just got a Wii and I like the hula hoop games and the yoga/strength parts for toning. I feel my abs and hips in ways I have never felt before, LOL.

    I was hoping that I could use Wii Fit for cardio on days when the weather makes it hard or impossible to run outdoors. So far I have not found a decent cardio workout. The running in place and free step are unlocked for 30 min. I barely sweat and it is pretty boring. I like the step class because it is fun but it only lasts for 6 min. Does anyone know if there is a way to increase the class to say 30 minutes?

    On the step class, once you continue mastering it, more times will open up on it. I am pretty sure you can get up to 20 or 30 minutes. But not positive. I will have to check tomorrow morning.

    Once you "master" the first 2 step aerobic workouts, then you get to free style - which you can select, 10 min - 20 min or 30 min for a workout. I just did the 20 minute, dang I'm tired!! I love the wii fit as well.
