Wii Fit Challange

joeysmuse

I'd love to join this group & will check back later with my results! I'm posting now so that I can find this again later! Also, I was wondering if anyone puts shoes on to do the long run?? I've not yet done it that way, but am considering it & was wondering what you all thought!

I personally like to run with shoes on. I have the Fit Mat and I wore my shoes on it the other day and it tore my mat up when I was doing the step but not the run. I may have been dragging my feet but who know's. I plan on doing the run with my shoe on still just not on my mat. My feet don't hurt when I use my shoes for the run. They don't hurt either way when I do the step but the hulla hoop... if I wear shoes my feet burn like they are on fire!

Thanks, good to know!! I've just been thinking that I can improve my running "form" if I run with my shoes on. I tend to bounce on my toes a little too much when I'm barefoot! I'm anxious to try it out!! I'm gonna wait to after I put the girls to bed tonight! :drinker:

Well when you run in place it's mostly on the balls of your feets. It's not like running down the road. Heal to toe. It's more like a sprint. If you want to up your %try putting the controller on your body somehow. Keep in mind your arm movement while running is very different than the movement of your body. Your pace is figured by the up and down movement of your body not the smoother swinging of the arms. Personally I put it in the strap of my sports bra below the shoulder and above the ta ta... somewhere in between. I wear oversized sweats or something the same. but always have a sports bra on. it may be kinda gross to come people but I am the only one in my family that uses the Wii. so it's nothing huge for me. I hope this helps you some.

dmmarie- that 30 day shed is KILLER!!! I have trouble keeping up with it. I want to do it again now that I have been working out lately. I love Jillian! So motivating!!

I don't have the actual dvd, but, I just started it on excercise channel on demand :blushing:
Not sure if anyone has this channel, but there are 30 day shred, 1-3, and I don't know when to change. Anyone know? I don't know if they are the full wrok out, it's only like 20 min.

Yes, each level is only like 20 minutes & she keeps telling you that if you're going to work out for only 20 minutes then they need to deliver a routine that will get results. She suggests changing your levels when you want more of a challenge. It's really a great workout! ENJOY!!

Okay, so here goes my first report!!

long run = 158% (with shoes - so much better than barefoot!)
hula hoop = 2790 (I hadn't opened the 10 minute yet so this was a combo of the 6 & 3)
free step = 1585 (next time I'll adjust the speed up)
advanced step = 377 pts (I need a bit of practice on that one..... :blushing: )

Thanks for letting me join in & for the suggestions!! :flowerforyou:

Hi there, just started my fitness plan with Wii Fit, and I notice from reading that steps are counted, Im just wondering where do you actually see how many steps in total you have completed at the end of your session? Thanks for any help. :happy:

joeysmuse

Welcome!! The number of steps you have taken is your score. if you are watching TV while doing it don't hit any buttons on the controller before you switch over to the Wii. Does this help?

I just re read your post..... the steps counted are on the free step .

This is where this work out got hard as a rock! My 13 month old was crying wanting to be picked up so I put him in the pack we use when we walk and did the rest of my work out with him and all his 30+ Lbs on my back.... I am going to be sore tomorrow!!

So...I was thinking of buying the wii fit, do you guys think it is worth it? Are you starting to see results?

joeysmuse

If you have the time to do it and are vigilant about doing so it's well worth the money. This is the only exercise I get and I have lost 14 lbs and get quite a work out. This is over 3 weeks. I also monitor my caloric intake and am trying to loose slowly so I don't gain it back like i have done many times over the last 18 years. I like it alot! It's not hard on my knees or back and I have always had a hard time with them. When the workout you get from Wii Fit starts to seem easy... add some ankle weights. Makes a bog difference.

I hear there are other workout "games" That are pretty good and will put you through the ringer but I don't know first hand. I would rent them for a couple days before I spend upwards of $50 on one.

Thanks for your reply, infact I only unlocked the free step this evening:laugh: I only got my WII on Saturday, so just a Learner and I it! When I have got use to it, and my scores are something that are not too embarssing, I will join in the challenge, perhaps this time next year :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Don't be embarrased about your scores. We all started at some point and had low scores. Just do it at your own pace. do it twith us... that's what makes it fun. if you start doing it you can look back and see the changes. you'll do great!!

So I had a really rough weekend and didn't do anything this weekend. Yesterday we had a softball game and I played the whole game. We RAN so much!! So I got back on the horse this evening and here are my scores.......


Advanced step 610
Free step 2118
Hula hoop 3249
Long run 87%

I was so mad at the long run. I ran faster than I have before and my rate went down!!! WTH!!! Then instead of eating the ice cream I wanted so bad, I had a light yogurt and water!!! Go Me!!!! I was so proud of myself!!

When do we change exercises? I just want to make sure I don't miss it! I love this challenge!!!!!

joeysmuse

We'll change the Exercises Monthly. Next change is May 22nd. So it's not far away.

Way to go on making the right choice!!! That's GREAT!! I understand how hard it is to make the right choices. I LOVE Ice Cream! Always have ALWAYS WILL!! If you just HAVE to have it, as I do sometimes, try skinny cow, or something like that, ice cream sandwiches. 100 calories each and they are very tasty!! just don't eat the whole box. it's 600 calories.

My Hubby is going to school and his class sells Ice cream every friday and I have to support hubby. So, our son and I will be visiting his school every friday for icecream and I pray I will have the will power to have only a few licks of his cone, what doesn't end up on the floor anyway. he's only one.

Don't worry about your scores. Just doing it is what you want! Show's you have the will power to make the right choices. Think about all the people that have the same set up we have and it collects dust. Just remember to keep the remote close to your body.
