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, one full hour , the year is flying by, its time!

Hope June gets ya'll off to an inspired start.

    I would like to give this challenge a try this month. Going to try and finish the 30 day Challenge on the Wii EA Active. I started last week.

    I guess my goal will be about 4x a week.

    Hello again everyone! I've been doing EA Sports Active More Workouts less than usual the past few weeks. I've been doing the 30 Day Shred and some nights I'm just too drained after that to do another 30 minute workout on the Wii. I'm 2/3 of the way through the 6 Week Challenge though on medium. I'm thinking I'll restart the challenge on Hard once I've finished this one.

    I also just bought a heart rate monitor, so it'll be nice to see what I'm actually burning while on the Wii instead of relying on what EA SA tells me I've burned. I suspect it'll be higher but I'll see tomorrow when I give it a try. Today is a gym day so I'll be on the elliptical and probably doing the 30 Day Shred when I get home. I have to burn off the Memorial Day Weekend food...

    Hey all, I do YOUR SHAPE, on the days I don't work.. I love it, and always lose weight the following day. It's intense.. so my goal for June is to burn 10,500 calories with the game. That's 3 pounds. (I also walk, swim and bike all the time..) I am actually only 2 pounds away from my JULY GOAL.. So I'm really hoping to reach my august 1st goal by July first.. so 7 pounds this month.

    I am in for June. I joined in the middle of May but I am enjoying the wii fit plus game. I am looking forward to buying the EA Active. When I get an "extra $55." It seem to be getting great reviews. My goal is to use the wii 3 times a week. I need to get into a habit of working out. Good luck everyone! Happy June!

    Hello everyone!

    I'm going to use the Wii Fit Plus for Yoga and Strength only, but I will jump in on any challenges for high scores. 3 x's a week for 30 minutes. I plan on using 1 pound wrist weights too.

    Hi All
    Well I'm into my 2nd week of my 30 day challenge. Wow Its such a great workout. I've also bee using my Wii Fit as Warmup doing someYoga etc. and some balance games.. Cause my 30 day challenge on Wii Active always seems to start me Off Running. So a little warm-up is good. I have also started the 200 Sit-ups Challenge. Its Great. Check out there website an join in on this challenge. www.twohundredsitups.com It's pretty Cool. There also is a forum for this challenge 200-Sit-ups......

    Kicking off June with a Bang. I have a BiG Birthday coming up this month got a few more weeks to be Ready. I still have a good ways to go with my weight loss But I'm feeling so much better with all these work outs.
    Thanks for all the support.
    Keep On Keeping On! =)

    So excited to jump in on the month of June fresh and ready for some challenges! I am on workout 12 (roughly week 3) on the EA Sports Active and am loving it! I really only get to go on late at night after my boys are asleep! I have the Wii Fit Plus and Gold Gym cardio, but only use them occasionally. I find that on my rest days I really just take it easy.......should throw one of them into the rotation to keep my self going!

    My goals are to use my two other "games" more often and to work out 5x a week for 40 minutes.

    Our Wii would not connect with the remote today. I changed batteries and everything. Not sure what is up with it. I guess it's time to find the owner's manual.

    It's not the board as I couldn't even get past the 'press A to continue".

    Any ideas?

    I officially have 5 days left for my EA Sports Active 6 Week Challenge. I haven't been doing it nearly as much since I started doing the 30 Day Shred, but I try to work it in a few days a week after I do the Shred, as long as I'm not ready to drop. Once I finish, I'm not sure if I'll start it over again on Hard, I'll have to see when I get there. I like to vary my workouts and I might try something new.

    I would love to get in on this! I am aiming for 5 mornings of at least 20 minutes. The rest of my exercise is done in the afternoon and evenings because I am not a morning person. Maybe this will help me get motivated in the AM-Thanks and good luck all!

    This is kinda a stupid question, but does it have to be wii fitness? I LOVE my Gold's Gym Cardio Workout game on Wii..I play it all the time and i sweat like crazy! So I'd like to do that game instead :)

    Hi everyone,
    Lianne here. I am using Wii Active 4 times a week and taking my dogs for a bike ride whenever the weather permits. I am getting a knee replacement this winter so I am limited but I just do what I can. I managed 2 Wii workouts today at the hard level for a grand total of 313 calories burned. That's alot for me but I am grateful for Wii, my bike and my dogs.

    Look forward to reading the shares.

    Lianne:happy: :happy:

    You can do any game you like :D We have people doing all different games on here. A lot do Wii Fit Plus, some do EA Sports Active, or Walk It Out, or Just Dance. Any game is fine with us, all that matters is that you're getting up and moving :)

    Fantastic to see so many new faces. Welcome !! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    My month got off to a lousy start due to a root canal that has gone allll wrong. Spreading infection, face swelled up like a chipmunk. Some insane pain. Started with a small abscess that barely bothered me,and after the dentist dug around , the infection just decided to expand like crazy. I cannot eat hardly anything and my whole head is hurting way too much to exercise. Very frustrating! Praying the antibiotics start doing their job so I can have my face back, and my life. Yikes. Several dentist visits ahead, hopefully I come out of one repaired instead of in worse shape. What a mess.:angry:

    Hope everyone makes those goals, and as soon as I can manage a decent meal and survive a day without pain meds, I will be back in the game.

    Have a super weekend everyone!!

    Hi! I'd like to jump in on this :)

    A quick backstory, I had my second spinal surgery (a fusion) in March and have been recovering since then, I'm doing physical therapy, but the amount of activity that I can do is limited by what my therapist says is ok. Fortunately for me, she is actually encouraging me to do the Wii Fit, and gave me a sheet to fill out to track my progress :)

    I own Wii Fit Plus, Wii Active and Your Shape (I think those are the names...) and I would like to commit to doing one of them at least 3x per week for at least 30 minutes. I may up that once my endurance is a little higher.

    Anyways, good luck all!

    I did 40 minutes worth of Wii Fit's Free Step so far today, I really like that I can switch over and watch tv and the Wii mote keeps my rhythm and counts my steps. Going to try some Wii Active since I haven't tried it yet.

    I have just completed work out 20 on the wii active 30 day challenge!! Whoooot I got to the end. Ok so it took me longer than 30 days but I made it to the end. Now I am not sure what to do as my holiday is 5 weeks away and that means one week less than the challenge on more work outs sooooo do I

    a) start but not finish the 5 week challenge
    b) just do the preset work outs until my holiday
