    Try other Wii fitness games, combine stuff, vary & create your own perfect gym!
    This is my gym:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/lm/R2YQSQRGWUPRFS/ref=cm_pdp_lm_title_1

    my whole fitness campaign is being done on a budget of $0. the tools i have to work with is my running, a dumb bell set and wii fit plus. with a 2 year old and another due in 5 weeks, and the wife goes on maternity leave as of this week, there is no money to buy anything. i cant even get an iphone arm band at the moment.

    I get it. Well, even with just the Wii Fit Plus it's possible to make your workouts 'work' and varied. Check this site for some inspiration

    Yay, I managed another 10 min. of balance games tonight. I think tomorrow may be a rest day for me so I might get some extra balance time in tomorrow.

    Welcome to all the new challenge members!! So happy to see such a lively group!

    I fit in 15 minutes of balance games this evening. Finally managed to get all the way across that darn tightrope! And, had a pretty decent score on the ski jump. Still not so great at snowboarding, though.. lol!

    I've also taken 19 flights of stairs and earlier I completed level 3 of 30 Day Shred.

    Feeling better... getting sleepy... good night!

    Thanks to this thread I found the balance games - had the wii for 3 months and for some reason never just clicked into this section. This morning I did 10 minutes of the girl in the bubble in the river (? name). It was fun, not sure if it burned calories, especially since my time was limited. Today I plan to do my normal 45 minute brisk walk during lunch. Will try to get more balance game time in tonight.

    Last night was one of my more active TV nights...I really don't watch a ton of TV, but I like Glee, Rasing Hope and Parenthood on Tuesdays. Anyway, I did 20 minutes of Free Run while watching Glee, and squeezed in 10 - 15 minutes of Balance Games before and after. I'll be sure to get my hour of balance games in by the end of the week!

    how do you count your calories that you burned on DDR? I love that game but can't seem to get the cals burned. I was think a predomitor or a cheap heart rate monitor.. BTW I only got 10mins of advanced step in before work.. I am going to do DDR(Dance Dance Revolution) tonight..

    Hey, zorbaru! I thought I saw a familiar handle! ^_^

    First, CONGRATULATIONS on your incoming blessing! Second, I'm so with you on the budget thing, and I absolutely feel your pain on trying to exercise with a toddler in the house - my son is also 2! XD Those funny little things in life, right?

    As soon as we all find out if there's a way to Competitive Wii Fit (which is to say, play against / along with each other or something!), we've so got to swap friend codes. ^_^

    I have been feeling kind of punky lately so I forgot to enter my exercises. I skipped a day to just rest and recoup. I will do the balance games starting tonight plus other exercises. Last night I did 34 minutes of Wii Yoga for 96 calories. I also did some
    stretching. I really suck at the balance games so maybe this is a good time to get motivated. :ohwell:

    Shirley, I feel ya on the punky kinda mood. I've been there myself lately. Just blogged about it and feeling better, so I'm hoping this means I'm back on track!! http://todefyego.blogspot.com/2011/02/i-am-good-enough-just-as-i-am.html

    I spent 10 minutes on Wii Fit this morning, bringing my week's total on balance games to 25 minutes so far.

    So yesterday I found out that my boss scheduled me for 50+ hour work weeks in March. Also, decided to have a free day and no exercise yesterday. I felt pretty out of it all day but not sure about the reasoning; it could have been my annoyance with several things at work, or the lack of exercise but it was also the first day of an increase in a medication so I'll have to keep my eye on it.

    Today I've already gotten 50 min. of non-Wii related workouts and am planning on doing some additional stuff on the Wii Balance games and maybe a bit more.

    Hope everyone's day goes well.

    Have been doing a lot of other exercise this week and haven't turned on the Wii at all. I am going to my daughter's basketball banquet tonight, which includes a parent-student mini-game, and if they are in need of more parents to play, I will be doing that. If I don't get that exercise in, though, it is the Wii for me after we get home!
