Today I am going to do Wii boxing for 30 mins, Tennis for 20 and bowling for 10 for a total of 60 minutes of movement! I hope to burn 348 calories!!
Ok, so I just found out My Fitness Pal has some of the Wii sports already set up to calculate your calories you get back, totally awesome!!! Can you believe that when I was running for 20 minutes, walking 10 total of 30 minutes averaging 2 miles. I was burning about 280 per cardio workout and average 150 for weights at 30 mins, but I will burn more calories this way then when I was going to the gym everyday with weights and cardio? And I dont even have to leave the house!!
So anyone else have some workout ambitions for tonight?!

I work out at 5 am (heavy) and again after work (light). Today I rowed for 17 min; walked for 35 min @3 mph; and used Wii Fit Plus for 85 min and burned a total of 1023 cal. which is more than I consumed as I ended up fasting for lunch (not by choice). Tomorrow morning will do another 75 min and then hit the gym after work for 30 - 60 min.0

Exerbeat is good I've burned over 700cals in an hour on that one.
would burning 348 cals on those games depend on your weight?0 -

No according to My fitness Pal's calculator. I just added how long I did it and it told me my calories, look it up under activities, "Wii boxing" "Wii tennis" and "Wii bowling" see what it gives you. Trust me, if you have never done the wii boxing with wii sports, you will be so sore the next day! Try bobbing and weeving for 30-60 mins straight! Your side with ACHE! lol Its the most I have felt after a workout in a very long time! So I guess I'm doing something right.. I wonder if it will beef up my abs... hmmm lol0 -
Tonight I am going to do Wii boxing for 40 minutes for 278 Calories, Wii Tennis for 30 mins for 154 calories and wii bowling for 20 mins for 74 calories. A total of 506 calories burned today!
Day 2 on my fitness pal is working out great! :happy:0 -

Today I am going to do 30 mins of Wii Baseball for 135 calories, 30 mins of Wii Tennis for 154 calories for a total of: 289 calories burned!
I tell you what though, last night I actually did squats and danced while playing tennis bc the music I was playing had such an awesome beat I moved around a lot more! I hope that means I burned more calories! We will see on my WI next Tuesday! I think this means I need to get a Just Dance game for the Wii! What do you think? lol :laugh:0 -
This morning I rowed through the 100,000 meter mark since I started rowing on January 29th and made it to the 25 lbs lost point which was my first major goal! I am really excited about making this kind of progress in just 2 months. 0

That didn't work well....first try. Meant to add - Thanks Melissa!!! Rowing is measured in Meters....100,000 meters is the equivalent of running 10, 10Ks. If interested in seeing a real rowing machine or ERG (the one I use) check out www.concept2.com. It looks easy but the first time I tried it I only lasted about 3 minutes - much more work than it looks.0

I've got a passive trainer bike (as have co-ordination problems) its motorised pedals so pedals legs for me and usually burn between 158-162 cals in the 15min cycle, it doesn't do exactly 15mins each time which is why its not exactly the same each time but 30 mins is usually just over 300cals and an hour I can do over 600cals on it.
If i haven't had energy to do stuff like boxing etc during day I can sit on sofa and go on pedals for an hour whilst watching telly and still burn at least 600cals off! :laugh:
I know strictly speaking its not a wii game however as I can't jog, I strap the wii remote to my leg whilst on the bike sometimes and it makes my character jog around the island on the jogging game on wii fit plus! It also works for step to the beat for making character walk around by fastening nunchuk to leg - though have to select easy option so don't have to be exactly on beat cos I'm not actually stepping (and don't lose points for not been on beat) but you walk around unlocking stuff and building your island and I still burn my 600 cals for pedalling on bike for an hour whilst getting a bit further in the game! :happy:0 -
Tonight, I am going to play Wii Tennis for 40 minutes for 206 calories burned! And Wii bowling for 30 mins (and possibly kick my BF's butt in the game!! lol) for 112 calories burned!
Total calories burned today: 320!!!!!!!! Woot-Woot! See what a little fun on the Wii can give back to you?
I am super excited to burn these calories!! I dont let myself eat dinner until I do, soo.. as you can see why I'm excited. lol0 -
3/9: 54 min Wii cardio; 15 min weights; 30 min elliptical;16 min recumbant bike; total cal burn 962.0

OK I feel bad.. I must confess I didnt workout last night, even though I wrote here that I was going to. But now I have confessed my dirty little secret and it wont happen again!!
But good news is I have lost for my first week! Yay!
Tonight I will do last nights workout. Wii Tennis for 30 mins = 152 cals and Wii Boxing for 20 mins = 137 cals.
total calories burned: 289.
Great news!! I might be getting my Wii Fit Plus & Balancing board by Wednesday or Thursday night! maybe... but hopefully!!
This will really mix up my workout options and allow me to see what all the fuss is about running around some island and flying and stuff! lol0 -
:flowerforyou: you will love the wii fit plus and balance board....I super super love to do the step aerobics on mine0

I'm struggling my way through this week (week 2 of my 30 day wii challenge) but had alot of other stuff on too this week, not finished yet.. have to fit in shopping tomorrow, 2 dog walks and my wii challenge and sunday out to visit step mum (mothers day here in UK) and the exercise and 2 walks for my dog.. hoping I'll have more energy for week 3.. which starts with vet visit for my dog! :ohwell:0

I'm absolutely hopeless at the baseball, never got it and I've had the game ages! .. I like the boxing and tennis for a good workout, but also enjoy bowling. I make 'celebrity Mii's' on mine and occasionally enjoy a round of golf with the likes of Robbie Williams and Ant & Dec :laugh: (I play their go too unless have friend(s) here and we each choose a celebrity to play!)0

I FINALLY GOT MY WII BOARD AND WII FIT PLUS IM SUPER EXCITED TO START IT TONIGHT!!! :bigsmile:
:laugh:
Any suggestions on what type of activites I should use for a workout? I know all are good... but I didnt see anywhere where a workout was already laid out for you... Suggestions please???
I'm thinking something along the lines of doing each category a day.. Like the first one (which ever one that is..) on Monday then yoga on Tuesday and then the next on Wednesday.. etc.. and just keep repeating, maybe making my workout either 30 mins or an hour????0 -

you will find the activities when you go inot the "customize" part....you can pick your own trainer too. You have to pick the option or you will just get a pre-programmed one.
Something to keep in mind--if you get the Wii Active games they also work with the board BUT the two games don't "talk" to each other..For example if you do a challenge on Wii Fit Plus for 5 days --you do Fit day A and active on day B--when you go back to the Wii fit it will tell you that it missed you blah blah blah ... Also if you do both in the same day you will have to write down calories burned for both games it won't combine the too....Learned that the hard way
Let me know which ones you like the best0 -
Oh yeah you can customize your own workout also. I like this feature a lot....Create the type of workout and the amount of time to suit you....You will have a blast working out on the board0
