    I know this month will be very hectic due to up coming changes at work and school starting back up.
    I am going to set my goal to exercise on my WFP at least 3 X a week at least 30 mins. If I do not make it to the gym that day, then it will be 45 mins

    I do Wii Fit Plus every day, for at least 30 mins. I try to meet my calorie burn goal of 310 or more. I do Expert Rhythm Boxing (3x), Rhythm Kung Fu, Advanced Step, and Rhythm Parade.

    Hi Everyone, I'm new and ready to make a change in my life for good.

    We just got our Wii Fit Plus for Christmas and I'm already sore.

    My January Wii Exercise goals:

    To get on my board every morning by 6:30 am and work out for atleast an hour.

    As I go I'll figure out what I like to do and get into a routine.

    Judith

    This is great! I hope we all meet our goals for the month.

    Today I did 30 minutes free step as fast as it can be set and I shovelled snow for 45 minutes at least. I forgot to look at the clock before I went out.

    How much does the free step burn over 30 mins? Is it more than 30 mins of Expert Rhythm Boxing? Just looking for worthwhile exercise to vary my routine with :)

    Hi all......I have had the wii fit for about a year but just got the fit plus today. It seems like it will be a lot of fun as well. I wish however, I would let you set up your own routine using the aerobics as well as the strength and yoga. Am I missing something somewhere or can you only work in the 2 of them and tthen go into the otther seperately. I'm not too much into the balance games but do enjoy the step, the running and the cycling.


    My goal for January will be to work out on the fit plus for 30 minutes 5-7 times a week.

    I do like the feature of it keeping track of how many calories you havee burned. It makes it easier to log in.

    Tigermom, you can make your own routine by clicking the scale in the locker room & then selecting the movements you want to do. It will throw together a routine for you in a random order.

    Trish- I'm not sure on the calorie burn. I think they are probably about the same. If the new Fit Plus tells you calories, maybe some one here who has it can tell us both what the difference is. JAM

    Thanks.....I will go there. I do have the strength and yoga set up as a routine but wanted to do the aerobics as part of the routine. I follow your instructions and see if it works.

    Trish, i think you burn more with Rhythm boxing, I use the free step and advance step to warm up, they never cause me to sweat. Between the three that I do mostly: rhythm boxing, free step (or advance), and hula hoop, I get my biggest workout between hula hoop and rhythm boxing.

    And of course we noted in December, that we are most likely burning more calories that what WFP displays. :smile:

    I would love to join! I cannot afford a gym membership at the moment- and I currently have Wii- My Fitness Coach sitting collecting dust- ....

    =)

    My goal is small to start.. i'm taking babysteps...

    My goal for this week is to find a "routine" so that exercising becomes second nature- like eating. =)
    I will use My Fitness Coach every day for 30 minutes this week.

    Hello!

    I'm new here. I'm going to be using my Wii as well. I have several of the weight loss games - Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus, EA Active Sports, Gold's Gym Cardio, and the Biggest Loser.

    My January goal will be to complete the 4 week challenge on TBL on Beginner Level. I'm going to baby-step my way into the Intermediate Level. :)

    Hey everyone, I would love to join! I have been using the EA sports active personal trainer. I just follow the 30 day challenge and work it by tossing in some fun sports and boxing after to fill in the time. Last night for the first time I set my daughter a profile so she could work out with me. She is six and even though I have been using the game everyday since Christmas eve, the workout I got from trying to keep up with my spastic daughter is painful (in a good way!) I can't wait until she wakes up this morning to see how she is feeling lol!

    Goal 5X a week, at least 45 minutes a day!

    So are we logging in everyday to check in? I am part of another amazing group called the fab fours and we check in everyday. It helps so much and holds you more accountable.

    I have to start this evening as saying thank you MFP and everyone who post about their Wii! :flowerforyou:
    I made it to the gym this morning and did step for 1 hour but I did say that I had intentions of using my MF+ this evening. So, the point is that I felt that I made a promise not only to myself but to everyone here that I would make my best attempt. So, I first started with the free step for 20 and read my Kindle while I did that (2 for 1!) and then did some of the balance games: Bird's eye bull eye and the circus juggling one (Which I am horrible at, :laugh: ) After completing 45 mins, I feel good and proud of myself for keeping my word.

    I feel that writing our goals, make us feel committed not only to ourselves but to everyone who participates, so I feel more determined to achieve it!

    Sorry, if sometime I come off touchy or emotional in my post sometimes, but I'm stationed overseas without my family and I guess I am now finding the softer more heartfelt me! :smile:

    I'm in! I'm using EA Active More Workouts. I'm on week 3 of the 6 week challenge. I am doing 4 workouts per week, and they work different parts of the body, mostly strength. I have been doing 10 or 20 minutes of step on the Balance Board on EA Active as well. Today was supposed to be a workout day, but I decided an hour of shoveling dang snow was going to replace the Wii!

    I'd like to join! I've had EA sports active for a while now and just haven't used it the way it was intended. I started a new 30 day challenge on it yesterday! My goal is to work out on it as often as it allows then on the "rest" days, I'll do yoga and areobics from Wii Fit. My goal is to workout everyday for at least 1 hour.

    hi everyone I also have the wii fit plus and the biggest looser. I have lost 4 pounds so far. I am trying to get on it everyday for atleast 30 minutes if i can. have to share the tv with the kids this week while they are out of school.
    I love the step, boxing, and just tryed the bubble game last week and its fun.
    biggest looser did not know you can set up a routine to last 4 weeks. Need to get it back out and check it out. I have seen the persoal trainers at Wal-mart has anyone used those?
    Would like to find other wrk out games to go along with the ones i have. Would really love to have a treadmill to use along with the running in the park with the wii fit plus.

    keep up the great wrk everyone.

    Workout day for me today on the EA Active more workouts. I'm doing the "easy" six week challenge. Today's workout was lower body and cardio and did not use the balance board. After that I did a 10 minute step class, also from EA Active. Yay! I had to force myself, but as always, I feel better now. :)
