Yea i also love it. It burns a lot of calories.

jacqueline0821

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.

janiebeth

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 the wii fit hula hoop, other than the yoga, thats my favorite part of the game!

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?

jacqueline0821

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.

I'm addicted to the Wii Fit! And I love the Hula Hoop..I haven't tried the 10 minute one yet..the 6 minute one has been tiring enough..I'll work up to it soon!

jacqueline0821

I finally set a record for 3500+ spins and haven't been able to beat it! I mist have had a ton of energy one day.

j_g4ever

I havne't been on my wii fit for a couple of weeks now however im going to get on it tomorrow and see what my record is and then maybe we can start to challenge people to beat eachother. :drinker: Im all about beating someone in something. LOL.

Yeah, the 6 minute one is tough! I'm huffing and puffing at the end!!

jacqueline0821

I would love a challenge!! I do it every single day.

annhjk

Thanks for the motivation! I've only done it 1 time since we got it for christmas. The rest of the family is sleeping so I'm going to go play right now!

I played tennis with my DH yesterday for about 1 hour.....and today, my right arm is killing me...LOL. Can't wait to get the Wii fit, the hula hoop sounds like a blast

rialynn79

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.

jacqueline0821

Correction on my spins. I have hit 3300 and can't get past it. Wow I wish I could do 3500 though!! haha. How many have you all got up to on the 6 min?

I am trying to log the hula hopping that I've done today but I cannot find it in the exercise database. Is there a certain way to spell it or am I misisng something here

shemricquick

I love the hula hoop, but I'm so out of shape that it kills me!!

jacqueline0821

I can't find it in the database either. Someone said they found it under cardio but I can't see it. I just log it under general aerobics.

Yea That is what I am doing too.. I just unlocked the 3 min super hoola and man did I nearly collapse!! Thank god no-one was around to see the state of me on it!! I looked like I was having a seizure!

my gosh how on earth are you getting so high in the turn count???:noway: i can bearly do 200. DH just said "they are moving their hips quick":laugh: . will need to keep at it i guess. haven't done it in awhile, been doing the "my fitness coach".

keep turning ladies doing great.....

jacqueline0821

What stage are you on of the hula hoop? 200 is great, it takes a while to work up to that amount. I have been doing the 10 min Super Hula Hoop every single day for a little over a week now. Some days are better than others. Good luck on it. How do you like the "my fitness coach"?

i haven't done the fit for months. got bored with it.
i LOVE the my fitness coach. it's like having an instructor right there with you. you don't need the fit to use it. i just posted a reply in the post for jillian michaels game. there is a huge difference in the two.
someday i will get back on the fit again.
keep spinning.

jacqueline0821

I did 3146 Spins. Not my best but pretty good!!

Does anyone JUST use Wii Fit for their exercise? Right now, I have just been using it when I don't want to wander out in the cold to go to the gym.

Is it effective enough to just use that?

Just wondering how much I can rely on it in the cold weather!

deedun

How can you keep it going for so long!?!???

I just unlocked the 3 minute super hoola and I was ready to collapse halfway through it!! I even loose the rhythm and look so weird doing it!!

Well I love the Wii Fit but I use many other things for exercise other than that. For me personally I don't get enough of a calorie burn on the Wii Fit as doing some other activities. I totally understand the not wanting to go out in the cold. I am fortunate to have a treadmill, bike, and elliptical at my house for me to use. You may want to look into some DVDs that you are able to use at home. You can get a huge calorie burn from these and stay in your home. I personally like the TurboJam Dvds but there are several that people recommend.

I hope this helps in your questions. Feel free to message me.:flowerforyou:
