Hey Again Everybody ,

It's a brand new month!!

Welcome any and all who use any of the Wii fitness games. Hoping to see all the newcomers and old friends continue on here and reach for those goals. If you are Wii-ing, please join in!!

Glad to see a new month, as I did a sad job of reaching my goals the last. I need a fresh start!
This month I am doing my 5 nights a week, come hell or high water.

How is everyone doing??

    I just started the EA Active 60 day challenge this morning. I have it on hard. I really like it so far. I will be Wii fitting tomorrow so I will let you know if I get any better scores. Gotta love the wii. I am on it 5 days a week wether it is EA Active, Wii Fit Plus or Just Dance. I will maintain this pace in May.

    I just did 35 minutes of EA Sports Active More Workouts. I like this version so much better than the first. The exercises are better and I really get into them since there are less boring and tedious ones. I burned 285 calories working out today, it was my 6 Week Challenge workout plus a 20 minute cardio workout. It definitely helped to get me back on track after a weekend visiting my alma mater up at Cornell. Lots of drinking and not too terrible on the eating. But still, time to regroup.

    Today I combined some things to make a longer work-out in Fit Plus and it was much better. I didn't realize I could do that before and I had to keep stopping and waiting for the scores and everything to add up. I enjoyed it much more today! I think I liked the biking the best.

    I feel the same way, although once I stopped I started gaining weight.
    So happy I found this group, I will start Wii-ing as soon as I get home.

    Hello! I'd like to join. I've been at MFP for a few weeks and wii fit is my exercise of choice. Being a true couch potato, I do the wii free step while watching "Friends" episodes. LOL! I just got wii fit plus and like it - the biking game and the rhythm kung fu are fun. I need to build a workout routine. My goal for May is to do 30 minutes of wii fitness plus at least 5 days a week.

    Thanks!

    I was doing Wii Fit at the begining of the year, but elbow surgery laid me up for 6 weeks and i haven't gotten back into it. This has inspired me to get back to it.
    How can I find the biking game?

    The biking game is on Wii Fit Plus. You basically walked on the wii board to pedal the bike and use the remote to steer.

    Only joined MFP a couple of days ago and started with the wii again last night. I did loose about 40lb in 2008 thanks to the wii fit, I was on it every night.

    Spent an hour on wii sports last night with tennis and boxing, am going to try to get back into the wii fit. I've got wii active but not used it much how have people got on with it?

    Happy Wii ing

    Greetings Burgee! I've been using EA Sports Active for the past few months and all my weight loss on here so far has been with doing that and hitting the elliptical for 50 minutes twice a week. I was using the EA Sports Active for a while, but I got kinda tired of the workouts and I invested in More Workouts as a reward for hitting 10 pounds lost. I LOVE the newer version, much better exercises, much better premade workouts, and the 6 Week challenge is great. I definitely recommend it, it's basically like have a personal trainer on your TV to guide you to a great workout. I'm always sweating by the end of it, and I've been doing about 30-35 minutes a day, burning 200-250 calories, sometimes more if there is a lot of cardio. It's my favorite workout game, although I haven't invested in the Wii Fit Plus yet. The $99 price tag has me hesitant, and I kinda need new clothes since mine are all too big right now. Maybe down the road I'll look into it as a gift or something.

    Woohoo! Did an hour on the wii fit yesterday and had a 1.3 lb weight loss this morning. I am going to keep it up I think...1 hour a day 5 days a week! How do you combine the workouts so you don't have to wait for scores?
