Anyone interested in a Wii Active Challenge?

Jax67

Hi Queen, my big calorie workout was when i did the days challenge and then went on to do another 30 mins playing around with my own choices of workouts.

Thanks Faustt and Jax. I'll have to add in my other activities. I walk 30 minutes in the morning and 30 in the evening. My dog keeps me on a rigid schedule. There's no cheating in this activity if she has anything to say about it. :laugh:

Does anyone know how I can get my workout stats from day 1 up to now? I need to update my stats.

6/11

117.4 cal - 21 min

I'm on Day 11 and workout #8 on easy.

Thanks everyone for helping a sista out. Let's keep up the good work. Everyone is doing a good job. Buying this Wii Active was the best thing I've done for myself this year.

Be blessed!

Queen, I'm going by my HRM. I think some of the extra calories for me are all the moving around I do between the exercises. I'm always fidgeting and fiddling with things, running after the kids, dog, cat, whatever.

Also, I have a lot more to lose than you...and you are probably in better shape than I am. How long have you been exercising? Is your body used to it?

Oh don't get me wrong, though...I sure WISH I could burn as many calories as Fausttt every time :laugh:

I can't wait to workout tonight to the active. I'm going to see when I started and then see my starting weight. Next month is my picture month to see how much better I look. :bigsmile: I can't wait to see how the wii active has helped me. I know it has helped me so far because I can feel it and my thighs are not rubbing together as much anymore. :drinker:

Wednesday check in sounds great. I like the "work off the weekend" idea.

I'm going to try and see if I can find out any data on the calories burned from using the Wii. For the Yoga piece I just use what is there. It should be the same. I also count the strethen as Yoga minutes. Some of those excersices I've done in Yoga classes anyway.

Happy Friday Everyone!!!

Burned 243 calories yesterday on workout 4 (Oh man I'm behind, I'm going to need to do doubles on one day).

Jam, for the Wii, I use strength training as the category. I have a HRM that keeps track of my calories burned so that helps a lot. I'm glad to have you onboard!

Fausttt

yesterday did workout 6 - 491 calories

I did it co-op with my wife. It was fun because it made me do a few extra reps to pick uup the wife's slack and it did record it in my journal. . . but it doesnt count it on your actual 30 day challenge so i will have to redo workout 6 today

Good Morning Wii Team,

Fausttt, I was just going to ask that question. I did a extra program and was wondering if it counted in the challenge. I didn't see it when I went back into the calender. Thanks for the heads up. I did my challenge workout first and wanted to burn some extra calories so I can meet my goals without them expiring. :grumble:

6/12 - rest day
6/13 - 102.3 - 18:24 + 143.8 - 22:57 total for 6/13 = 246.10

I did the extra program on hard and let me tell you . . . . kicked my butt. . . . I see why everyone is talking about them darn kickbacks on fast. I couldn't keep up with that pace all the way around the track and when I was going fast the Mii was going slow. Not sure what I was doing wrong but by the time she got to moving fast, I was moving slow. Anyways . . . I had a great workout. I will have to graduate level by level until I'm fit enough for the hard level.

Hope everyone have a blessed weekend!

Fausttt

redid workout 6 myself so it would count toward my 30 day

361 kcals

did workout number 2 for this week and burned 510 calories. I also did a mile walk so that burned another 300 or so. I'm off of my plateu and Im feeling great. Tomorrow I plan on doing some more wii active and mowing the lawn and maybe do some gardening.

annaliza

Great job J_G!!

Today is a rest day for me and it's a good thing. I am so sore from weedeating yesterday!!!

Hope everyone has a great day!!

j_g4ever

I had bob greene come on the screen lastnight and showed me what new moves I will be doing which was exciting to hear his exciting words and encorment. :flowerforyou: Its going to be a warm day here in Minnesota. Humidy is the main complaint here. I get to mow the lawn and maybe a good tan however. :bigsmile: Have a wonderful day!!!

Fausttt

I just got a pool this weekend So I will hopefully be incorporating it into my workout routine. My kids also start summer day camp today so there will 1 hour or so between when i normally pick them up and when i NOW have to pick them up. I am thinking about joining my local gym again. I figure 20 mins strength/cardio at the gym. go home to swim for 20 mins (to cool down and also to exercise) and then pick up the kids. I normally do Wii Active around 9pm when kids are asleep and my wife is home. So, If i can keep this pace up. I will be getting as many as 2 workouts a day (not even including the pool)!

I did the wii active this morning so that is workout 3 and burned about 600 calories. I have burned almost 1,000 calories today so far and I have a tae kwan do class tonight. So I'm going to burn those pounds off. :drinker: I will check in when I get back tonight to let everyone know how it went.

j_g4ever

It was a great night tonight. Tomorrow is my rest day for the wii active.

Jax67

Morning all.... Day 5 completed, 122 calories burned.

I'm a bit behind on the challenge as i was unwell at the weekend, will try and do another workout tonight.

I went to the gym yesterday for two hours so that should help with the weight loss :happy:

Good luck every one for the weigh in tomorrow

Good Morning Wii Teamers!!!!

Completed workout #10 yesterday.

6/14 - rest day
6/15 - 102 cal - 18:33 min

Great commitment to the challenge everyone. Keep up the good work.

annaliza

Good morning everyone!!

Don't forget that tomorrow is our weigh-in day!!!!

I did workout 6 this morning and burned 198 calories. I might swich over to the hard workout and see how I do for awhile.

I'm behind, too. I think I might do a couple of them in one day since it's only about 30 min a workout.

What other workouts do you guys do besides wii active? I run 3-4 days a week, too.

Jax67

Morning :happy:

I worked out with a friend on the active last night and burnt 176 calories!! It was great fun :laugh:

On an embarrassing note i have actually gained weight this week :embarassed:

Current weight - 226lbs :ohwell:

I had gained 3 but managed to get one of them off again.... i know how i did it....... mmmm choc and icecream for the raging sore throat that i had at the weekend. Oh well onwards and downwards!!

Hope you all do better than that lol

Good Morning Wii Team!

Update to my workout:

6/16 - workout #11
6/17 - rest day (doctor visit)

78.4 cal
14/35 min

Went to the doctor yesterday due to pain in knee and she has taken me off of lunges, squats and running. That basically eliminates half of my wii workout. I will have to tweak the program to eliminate those exercise and see what kind of workout I can get. I will still be in the challenge but not doing as much exercise.

Thanks Annalize for keeping us updated. For some reason I couldn't see the log but appreciate all your efforts in posting our data.

Have a blessed day everyone!!!

annaliza

Here's the updated stats.

Queen, I'm so sorry to hear about your knee. Hope things get better for you!!!

j_g4ever

I think i broke my toe so I haven't exercised. I should walk or something ugh. It just hurts too much. So I'm out for a couple of days. I will keep tracking however.

queen3510

Thanks Annaliza,

My workout yesterday was very discouraging. After taking out the running, lunges and squats, I could only burn 34 calories for the workout that was left. :noway:

6/18 - 34 cal - 7:37 min

Any ideas on how to get more calories during the rest of the challenge? The program will allow you to take away but not add to. Should I just redo the program several times to get more calories burned? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

annaliza

j_g, sorry to hear about your toe. I hope you feel better soon.

Queen, I'm not sure about an answer to your question. I guess I would do it several times over. Are you doing it on high intensity mode? Or you could do several workouts in one day rather than just one. If I come up with anything more, I will let you know. I'll look into it when I get home from work.

I'm going to try to get a workout in tonight after work. I should have done it yesterday but went running instead.

Hi j_g,

I feel your pain. Hope all is well with your toe and it's not broken. Be Blessed!

I'm out with a knee injury. Hope it's not "arthur" and just a sprain or something less severe!
