Wii Team For April ( Fit, Fit+, EA, BL, Etc..)

GREAT!!!!! I use my wii along with going to a fitness bootcamp 2 days a week...

I'm always on my wii fit but i dont know how to add that to my exercise diary or how many calories I actually burn ... ( Sorry I'm knew to the site)... I did lose 5lbs just doing wiii alone last month

I got a Wii and play the sports resort at least 2-3 times a week for about a hour but I dont have a Wii fit cuz im to heavy still to be able to use the board. I am going to get a HRM here soon.

Thank you for the new board Jane :flowerforyou:

My goal is to lose 8 pounds this month. If I can do that and meet my next mini goal, I'm getting a spiffy new haircut which is looooooong overdue. I'm planning on finishing up my 6 week challenge with EA More Workouts, doing upper body every third day from EASA and either free step from wii fit plus/the More Workouts step routine or my new recumbent bike that's coming in a couple weeks for 30 minutes to an hour with a day off each week. I'm also going to be walking to and from work as much as I can this month now that the weather is nice too. I've signed up for the MFP team's President's Challenge so I want to get us as many points as I can take. Hopefully it doesn't kill me :laugh:

My calories are way different with my HRM too than what the wii tells me. Wii Fit Plus never estimates enough for me, and with EASA and More Workouts it over estimates. I'm so happy I made the investment but I think since none of this is an exact science, as long as you're consistent in keeping track and always err on the low end of things, you'll come out ahead

I throw all my wii calories into cardio strength training myself.

Good luck everyone in your April goals and have fun wiiing!!

how fun!!! i just got my wii fit plus 3 days ago from my amazing hubby for my b day in mid march so far ive played it ALOT its super fun so id love to be a part of this thread. my goal at the moment is to use it for an hour a day atleast 3 days a week and im supose to go walking with my mil 2 days a week so hopefully ill be losing some weight!

I use my Wii Fit Plus at least 5 nights a week! I love the yoga and step but the step needs more variety to it! What is the HRM?

I have a Wii and got Just Dance a few days ago. I like it but even 20 minutes seems to be a little strenuous for me so I'm going to check out Walk It Out and Sports Resort. I'm also getting a pedometer today, and silly me I just remembered I got a HRM last year that I should probably pull out since I actually have a use for it now!

Hi,
I'm new and I've had my Wii Fit for about a month before dusting it off and actually doing the exercises. Now I'm in love, but I just recently joined this site, did my caloric intake for the last week - and just realized that I was doing a lot of it in vain. SO - with that said, does anyone do exercises + the Wii? If so, what do you do?

TwentyTen so hope you're feeling better really soon...kids and their kooties!

Lots of hot fluids...watch, you'll drop. Esp if you stick with the liquids for a couple of days...

50 minutes on the Wii?! that's awesome & with a "cough due to cold" too...be well & thanks for some great posts to this topic.

When you get better & have a chance...how do we do this? Do we have a goal in mind or are we posting our experience...?

thanks & congrats on the successes

Good morning everyone I am new to the topic, I have the wii fit plus and the second e-active, I want to use the wii fit plus this month then move to the e-active, I am 8 away from my first goal. I have a quick question under what categorie do you place the wii fit plus under Aerobics or what? Please let me know because. I will let you know my progress every week.

I created different catagories in the "my exercise" section and use those to record it under cardio. I have one called Wii Fit and one called AE Active. I use a HRM to figure my calories and input that data each time.

Too bad there is no bunny wii games, lol. I mean they have that flying chicken, why not a hopping wabbit ? :laugh:

Well there IS Rayman Raving Rabbids and the sequels. They're more psycho than cute but they are rabbits!

Hi fellow wiier's......Haven't posted much lately but have been following along somewhat. I hadn't gotten on my wii for a while until last week when I decided I needed to step it up a bit if I wanted this weight to find it's way off me!!!! I did 2 nights last week, but intend to try and get back into my routine of 2-4 times a week. I go to Curves everynight during the week so that is my main excercise and then the wii is just a little push extra.

Everyone have a great Easter tomorrow!!!! See ya next week.

Wow. ha. I just looked that up and it looks like a kick!! Not sure it's the best workout game but definitely something I would probably like. Looks hilarious! Thanks raven! Would love to hear from anyone more about this cwazy rabbid game. can I work up a sweat playing it?

I've only played the first game - I can work up a bit of a sweat in some of the games like the disco dancing bits but not all the games are like that.

I sure hope you feel better after resting up a bit!

Hi everyone,
My name is Lisa and I started my weight loss journey to 'Onederland' back on January 25th 2010.
I had all but given up on the idea of losing weight. My biggest challenge was finding an exercise routine that I enjoyed and over the years I tried different approaches, different workouts, but never found anything I enjoyed doing.

My step mom told me about Nintendo Wii and how you could exercise and burn calories by playing Wii games. This was early back in early January when I went to visit my dad and stepmom on vacation.

After trying my step moms WiiFit game, I was instantly hooked and went out and bought myself a Nintendo Wii console along with a WiiFitPlus balance board and game. When I got back from vacation I decided to try again to lose weight with the help of my new Wii.....

I'm on week 10 now, lol....and play my Wii at least 5 days a week (approx 45 mins a day)

My favorite game is Walk It Out, but I also play WiiFitPlus and Just Dance each week too.
So far, I have walked 55.7 miles just with the Walk It Out game alone, lol I absolutely love this game and just recently tweaked my workout and added a strength training (upper body using resistance bands) to my Walk It Out game. As I walk and play this game, every 10 minutes or so, I reach down and start using my resistance bands to do upper body workouts, as I am walking. I have the resitance bands anchored to my livingroom door.
At the beginning of my weight loss journey I started a little website to keep track of all my Wii exercise, weekly weigh-ins and mini goals.....your welcome to check it out at http://awiistory.weebly.com.

I'm glad to have found a place where other people enjoy using Nintendo wii just as much as I do. It's hard to find places where Wii is an acceptable form of exercise.

I've already lost 27lbs and I am having a lot of fun. I'm just doing a simple portion control/regular low fat diet and stay around 1600 calories per day.

I look forward to meeting you all and chatting with everyone.

Hi Jane,
That's my very thoughts too with regard to exercise. If you not truley enjoying it, more than likely you won't continue doing it for very long. This has been all too true for myself over the years.
Congrats on your 39 lbs lost too...that is awesome!
I really think that Nintendo Wii is an ingenious game system.
It's not just helping those of us to get up of the couch and move, but it's helping many others, like the elderly, move their joints and get in exercise and even children where as they may still be inactive if not for Wii versus other video consoles.

My plan of attack today is to do my Walk It Out/Strength Training combo. I added a resistance band strength training tweak while playing this game last week and it was awesome. Kinda like killing two birds with one numchuk, rofl.

I have had my goals for playing this game set at 30-40 minutes, but I usually end up playing for about an hour especially if i haven't found what I'm looking for, hehe ("just a few more minutes...it has to be around here somewhere")

I have a weekly exercise schedule on my webpages that you welcome to check out.

Hope ya all have a great Wii day.
