    I'd love to join this group & will check back later with my results! I'm posting now so that I can find this again later! Also, I was wondering if anyone puts shoes on to do the long run?? I've not yet done it that way, but am considering it & was wondering what you all thought! :smile:

    I personally like to run with shoes on. I have the Fit Mat and I wore my shoes on it the other day and it tore my mat up when I was doing the step but not the run. I may have been dragging my feet but who know's. I plan on doing the run with my shoe on still just not on my mat. My feet don't hurt when I use my shoes for the run. They don't hurt either way when I do the step but the hulla hoop... if I wear shoes my feet burn like they are on fire!

    Thanks, good to know!! I've just been thinking that I can improve my running "form" if I run with my shoes on. I tend to bounce on my toes a little too much when I'm barefoot! I'm anxious to try it out!! I'm gonna wait to after I put the girls to bed tonight! :drinker:

    Well when you run in place it's mostly on the balls of your feets. It's not like running down the road. Heal to toe. It's more like a sprint. If you want to up your %try putting the controller on your body somehow. Keep in mind your arm movement while running is very different than the movement of your body. Your pace is figured by the up and down movement of your body not the smoother swinging of the arms. Personally I put it in the strap of my sports bra below the shoulder and above the ta ta... somewhere in between. I wear oversized sweats or something the same. but always have a sports bra on. it may be kinda gross to come people but I am the only one in my family that uses the Wii. so it's nothing huge for me. I hope this helps you some.

    dmmarie- that 30 day shed is KILLER!!! I have trouble keeping up with it. I want to do it again now that I have been working out lately. I love Jillian! So motivating!!

    I don't have the actual dvd, but, I just started it on excercise channel on demand :blushing:
    Not sure if anyone has this channel, but there are 30 day shred, 1-3, and I don't know when to change. Anyone know? I don't know if they are the full wrok out, it's only like 20 min.

    Yes, each level is only like 20 minutes & she keeps telling you that if you're going to work out for only 20 minutes then they need to deliver a routine that will get results. She suggests changing your levels when you want more of a challenge. It's really a great workout! ENJOY!!

    Okay, so here goes my first report!!

    long run = 158% (with shoes - so much better than barefoot!)
    hula hoop = 2790 (I hadn't opened the 10 minute yet so this was a combo of the 6 & 3)
    free step = 1585 (next time I'll adjust the speed up)
    advanced step = 377 pts (I need a bit of practice on that one..... :blushing: )

    Thanks for letting me join in & for the suggestions!! :flowerforyou:

    Hi there, just started my fitness plan with Wii Fit, and I notice from reading that steps are counted, Im just wondering where do you actually see how many steps in total you have completed at the end of your session? Thanks for any help. :happy:

    Welcome!! The number of steps you have taken is your score. if you are watching TV while doing it don't hit any buttons on the controller before you switch over to the Wii. Does this help?

    I just re read your post..... the steps counted are on the free step .
