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

Can anyone tell me how to add the Wii EA Active exercises to your daily log? I searched on it and it does not find anything.

Just wondering what all of you put it under,

Hi,
Jane...ACK! I'm sooo sorry for my mistake regarding your weight loss...although WTG on those 10lbs! whoooohoooo!

I am a happy camper this afternoon. I did my Walk It Out/Strength training add on...and I burned me some awesome calories.

I walked.......(drum roll, hehe) 4 miles! (14,528 steps) WHOOOHOOOO!
This is my personal best. I'm so excited, lol..I feel like the enrgizer bunny right now. :bigsmile:
I ended up walking 70 minutes...more than I intended to walk, but darn it, I couldn't find the last two colors of the rainbow and didn't want to stop playing until I did, lmao.
I burned 604 calories but I found all the colored balls and got me another rainbow added to my sky. I unlocked another zodiac sign and added 1 more song to my playlist.
This brings my overall total to 60.9 miles (219,503 steps) so far for this game. I'm only 39.1 miles away from my next goal of 100 miles....yeahhhhh! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Wednesday will be the next time I play this game...so I think i am going to go after some more zodiac signs...and rack up some more miles/steps, hehe.

Tommorow I will be doing my WiiFitPlus and Just Dance games. I got me some goals in mind, I'm on the "free ride" course and have yet to find all those beachballs, but I have a certain amount of miles/goals that I want to accomplish on this activity too so Island Cycling and probably my 10 minute Super Hula Hoop first then onto Just Dance. I'm gonna try to dance to 6 different full length songs and rack up more points along the way.

WTG everyone on your Wii exercise today. You guys are doing GREAT! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

WhhhoooHHHooooHOO You go girl! :flowerforyou:

LOL...the Walk It Out is wayyy too much fun. I'm dreaming of rainbows and zodiac signs in my sleep, rofl.
I really think though it helps to have a good imagination too though and I get a kick at how many cars and fire hydrants they have on this island. And get this, the other morning when I played I used my magical clock to turn the time of day to 3am so I could find some zodiac signs...so it's pitch dark as I am walking and there are Mii KIDS playing around the fountain...and here I am thinking to myself "damn kids up at this hour, if those were my kids....blah blah blah" ROFL, hahahaha (helllooo...it's just a game Lisa, haha)

LOL...Island cycling is a blast and more often than not when I play this, I'm at my happiest doing wheelies around the island and seeing how far I can go on my back wheel.
Have you ever popped a wheelie on Island cycling?...if not, you so got to try it, rofl.
Super hula Hoops...let me tell you, it took much practice to get enough stamina to where I could go a full 10 minutes.
Ya just gotta get on their and do it...and then do it again until you finally master it.
The first time i played I couldn't keep one hula hoop on my hip, never mind all 5 of them. Now i start yelling at my TV saying "is that all you got??"

The one game that I total blow at is the big top juggling....rofl. Just as I think I got a handle on it, I lose all my balls :bigsmile:
OMG...and the obstacle course...I haven't gotton past the 3rd level. I keep getting squished on the rolling log part...haha

this new game, Just Dance, that I bought, holy smokes, it is soooo much fun but it is very obvious that i have no coordination...but again, dancing around my living room to MC Hammer and doing the Mashed Potato...ya can't help but have fun.

you should see me on wii sports.......rofl :laugh:

So go ahead...bite that bullet! You can do it

p.s if you have any tips on the bigtop juggling and how I can keep hold of my balls, let me know, lol

Hiya everyone...

How are my new 'wii' fitness pals this morning?
Jane...how did you do last night with your exercise?

I'm still in the morning cups of 'mojo' stages this morning. Gonna get off my butt here in a few minutes and get ready to start my day. It is chilly here this morning.

Dorie, are you talking about the Advanced step or the free step? If it's the free step I think you have to reach those stepping goals that it flashes for you each time for a new window to open up. Advanced step..I'm not sure if there is another level. I've been playing that for a while and i'm not advancing levels. Mind you, I can never get all perfects with that one, so that may be the reason too.

00trayn, I have never found the WiifitPlus calories to be very accurate. The always seem so low. I usually go with my target heart rate and if my heart is pumping good...then I know I'm getting a good workout.
The Walk It Out game, now the calorie calculator on that is right on the mark. I have compared it with alot of different walking calculators and each time it come within 5 calories of actual calories burned but again, I reply on what my heart rate is doing.

Remember gals..make sure you change your weigh-ins on your wii games...especially for games like walk it out etc that you have to manually enter in your weight...because these games are using your current weight/distance etc when factoring your overall calories being burned.

Well, hearing myself rambling on has given me the mojo to get off my butt and do my own "wii" thing...hehe

hope you all have a great day...:)

I love using my wii fit,bl and ea. My husband and I weigh in every Sat. morning. I am waiting for it to some day not say "oh, that's overweight" We both laugh at it. Of course my husband's says "that's normal" He got to reset his goal to 0 weight loss- he really shouldn't lose more. I have a real routine down. I get up at 5- he's already left for work. Depending on the game schedule I do either the Biggest Loser or Active. Then I get my son up. If it is an early day home from school- my kid has band activities and we live out in the country so I need to drive him- I get on wii fit or wii active and work a few routines in before I make dinner. If I do step I usually grab some weights to add to the workout. For the last week I have also been going for an evening walk- I do 5.5 miles in @ 90 minutes- walking the country roads can be exhausting with all the hill I have out by my house.

O, I thought I was the SuperHulaHoop Master-In-the-House?!!!
Yeah...& ...Wow!

How do I increase my time on my WiiFitPlus? Not that I could hang like that :huh:

I'm not sure if I know what you mean by increasing your time. Do you mean with the super Hula Hoop or overall?

If you mean the Super Hula Hoops, when I started playing it, I think it limited to 3 minutes. After playing a few times, it went to 6 minutes and then the 10 minute level opened up. (5 minutes going left and 5 minutes going right) I think to open up more time...you have to keep all the hula hoops on and keep them on for a certain period of time.

If you mean your overall WiiFitPlus time, I think finding those activities that you enjoy the most and setting fun and silly goals has helped me get the most time in. Like take Island cycling...I'm on the free ride course and it's a 30 minute thing....and I really didn't care to find all the beachballs today so instead I decided that I was going to find all the ramps on this island and pop wheelies as I went over each one, lol. (I'm a complete nutcase...what can I say, lol)

I do the same thing on Walk It Out. I decide on what it is I want to accomplish...whether it be to complete a rainbow, or perhaps walk a certain distance and then I just get on there and bust my butt until I accomplish that task.

Rj...WAY to go on breaking the 170's.
I soooo wanna get to Onederland, wanna these days it will happen.....but until then it's inspiring to read other's like yourself who are knocking those pounds away and really helps me stay motivated and focused on my own weight loss goals.
You definetely have earned a new game, and I'm sure you will love Walk It Out....

My 49 minutes of exercise this morning was going to be followed up by a 10 minute round of Just Dance after lunch, but....rofl, my neighbor had me help him in his vegetable garden (only 1/4 acres, rofl) after lunch and little did I know that he had his own little workout planned for me....haha

I should know better that to go visit him and not be handed either a shovel of a crate of something with roots on it, haha.

Two weeks ago I helped him plant onions and corn and we busted butt and got every little bit of it planted between the two of us......and today when I went down he handed me 4 crates of chopped potatoes ready to be put in the ground.
I just got done and between both of us, got every last one done. He has already made the beds so it wasn't as hard as the last time, but it's still kicked my butt...and no doubt I'm gonna be feeling it tommorow morning.

I'm gonna go take me a "wii" NAP....lol, and possibly do a little Just Dance this evening after dinner.
If I don't get it in though, planting many rows of potaotes at lunch time surely made up for it...hehe

Hope you have some tylenol girl...

LOL..oh yeah, I'm feelin' it this morning. Right around my mid drift area and my sides. I think it's probably from bending over with each potato to stick it in the ground. I've never been able to do a crunch in my life, and this morning I feel like I did 100 of them...lol

My face is also puffy and my nose is running like a faucet this morning. I can tell that the season's are changing...

So....I'm gonna knock these seasonal allergies out with my Walk It Out game along with my added strength training tweak today. I was sitting here trying to come up with my 'plan of attack', like a challenge I can accomplish today during my workout.
I think now that I am close to unlocking alot of the thing on this game in regards to music & buildings, I'm going to change my settings back on the penalty setting....so now, when I walk, if I don't sync my steps exactly to the music/ryhthm, I will LOSE points...and I am also going to change my point setting from normal to hard so that it costs more points to unlock events.
This will make the game all that more challenging and alot more difficult when it comes to buying the rest of the music and buildings.

I'm shooting for 3 .5 miles today...and I also want to get in a little Just Dance, even just 4 songs, seeing as I didn't do that yesterday. Recently, my poor website tracker for all my games has been mostly Walk It Out updates, and my poor WiiFitPlus and Just Dance have been only getting played around twice a week.

I'm also thinking about buying another game....but I'm not sure which one. Going to do some research and read some reviews on games today.

EA sports Active 'more workouts'...is NOT on my list of choices though, lol
I actually bought this game and retured it two weeks later and evenly traded it for the Just Dance. (Gamestop is an AWESOME store). It wasn't that I didn't like the contents of this game and in fact I was very much looking forward to the 6 week challenge.....BUT my numchuk/controller and the console were not cooperating with each other and half the time my moves were not being registered so the game was constatly stopping/pausing and then messages would flash on the screen telling me to move my butt, lol.
I did some research and viewed the how to videos that came with the game...and I found that I wasn't alone when it came to this problem. In fact, EA just in the past few weeks recognised that their "may" be a problem and their solution....EA Active 2.0...a NEW game supposedly with all the bugs being fixed..allowing the player more movement blah blah blah....I will wait and read up on the reviews before buying this game again

Well, hope everyone has a great day day today and an awesome Wii workout

So I just looked over the reviews for WiiFitPlus on Amazon and it looks pretty awesome. I'm looking for a product that gives me a solid workout for about 30-40 minutes with fun exercises that burn a decent amount of calories. At the moment, I'm burning about 200 calories for a 30 minute EA Sports Active workout. I also go to the gym twice a week and do the elliptical for 45 minutes of cardio (moved up to level 6/7 yesterday! Level 5 felt so easy when I hopped on).

Anyway, do you all have suggestions? Amazon has the WiiFitPlus bundle with a balance board for $99.99 at the moment, and I've heard those are hard to find in stores and definitely not for any cheaper than $100. Thanks all!

p.s...lol
If any of you have any reviews on The Biggest Loser game, I would love to hear them....this was the next game that I was going to check out and was thinking of buying.

I just got done with my own workout and I walked another 4 miles, burned 600 calories and went 62 minutes on my Walk It Out game. I also did my add on strength training.
I'm so glad that I added this into my walking. It has definetely increased the intensity of my workout by a good 50%...if not more.
I'm feeling really good with this weeks accomplishments so far...

Thanks for the suggestions! Walk It Out sounds cool, I'll have to read up a bit on that one. I think my mom might really enjoy that one as well, and her birthday is coming up too I want to get more use out of my EA Sports Active so I'm probably going to wait until I finish one more 30 Day Challenge before I invest in a new game. I just started my first job out of college so I'm trying to be somewhat frugal... lol. Altho I don't mind as much since it's improving my help and not just me sitting on a couch playing Guitar Hero (I do that too, but only after working out first).

I also just read about the Couch to 5K program. I've never ran in my life, but I'm thinking I might try it out and mix up my cardio with the elliptical and that program. I plan to start next week
