Hello everyone!

This forum is for those of us who use a Wii Fit, Wii Plus, or any of the other many wonderful Wii Fitness programs for all or part of our exercise program. At the beginning of every month we set our exercise goals for the month and then encourage each other to meet them. So if your Wii-ing it we hope you will join us!

    Loving my Wii Fit Plus. The kids even do it with me. It actually makes them aware of body issues and they encourage me to workout when I might not feel like it. I try to work out everyday for 45 minutes with the step and then watch tv with the free step. Man I can feel those yoga moves,too...ouch!

    For the month of February, I am going to try to stick to my 6 week challenge, and that is 3 days a week at least on my Wii.

    Count me in!
    I got the Wii Fit Plus for Christmas and have been easing into it. I hope to do 45 minutes on it 3 days a week, and a full hour on 2 days. I mix it up so as not to get bored, but I never skip the skateboarding or yoga.
    Why does it congratulate you when you've done 30 minutes , but not an hour? That bugs me!

    I'm committing to my wii more this month. I did a little this afternoon. Ran for 20 min, and did 3 sets of the kung fu. Still can't get over the 660 mark on the kung fu.

    I found that my HRM shows a lot more calories worked off than the game does. I don't think thegameis correct. Don't really know how it thinks it knows how hard (or not) that I am working.

    My challenge for February is to be on it at least 3 times a week for 45 - 60 minutes.

    Hope everyone gets off to a great start for the month.

    Hello everyone and welcome to our new comers!

    I only did 3 minutes on the Wii today so that it won't yell at me tomorrow. I went ice skating and managed to skate the whole 2 hour session. I only counted it as 1 hour for my log as I did stop and rest here and there and did not push myself to go fast or be aggressive.

    For the month of February my Wii goal will be 4 days a week for 40 minutes a day for a total of 120 minutes a week. That is lower than normal, but I have yoga twice a week now at work and I plan on being a weekend warrior doing sporting activities like skating, skiing and swimming.

    Good night everyone and Happy February,

    I'll join too. I'm only seven work outs away from finishing my first 30 day challenge with Wii Active. I wanna do it at least one more time before I get the upgrade. Like I said in the other post its great all except for those Kick Backs (or ups, whatever it is). I've owned it six months and am just now finishing my first challenge. I know I can do this, and burn it off. I have 26 pounds to go and about 12 weeks till my hubby comes home.

    I got a head start and did just over an hour this evening. Was a good sweat! Hoping throughout the month I will exceed my own expectations. I think it's time for new batteries!

    Hello everyone, I'll hop into this group, sounds like one I'd be interested in :) As for Wii fitness programs I have and use, they are Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus, and My Fitness Coach. So far I've found the My Fitness Coach the most beneficial, but they're all useful. I just need to really commit to staying on track with committed workout days.

    My goal for February is to work out 3 times a week for at least 60 minutes. I have set my calorie burn goal to 250 on the Wii and if all the posts are correct, it will actually be a lot more than that!

    I have set My Workout to include yoga, strength training and then more yoga. I also do the Super Hula (seems to burn the most calories), the run (in cardio) and 3 rounds of boxing....I did this routine on Saturday and it took me an hour and 15 minutes and burned off 399 calories! WOOHOO!!

    I am envious! I wish we had an ice skating rink around here! The closest is an hour away. I love to skate. Especially did roller skating when I was young!!! Okay....so that tells you how old I am!! ;) Glad you had fun skating!

    I agree the hula does burn calories!!! It is fun too. Good for you on the calorie Burn!!!! You probably did more than the game said!!!

    Still going strong! I'm in the second week of my second 6 week challenge on EA Active More Workouts. I workout 4 times per week at medium intensity and am supposed to have 3 rest days. I did fun cardio stuff on my last two rest days, so I've worked out 6 days in a row! I'm so ready for a rest day today.
    I did some reverse flys or rows that put a serious hurt on my shoulder blades/shoulders. Now if I can just go home and actually REST! I've become accustomed to the daily activity.
