    I'm in! I just got it a week ago and I am trying to do 6 days a week/45-60min each day. I love it, it really got me back into my weight loss goals, I lost 5lbs my first week. Right now all I have are Wii fit and the sports, any suggestions on what else I can get?:smile:

    I'd like to join...I just use the Wii Fit for exercise on the Wii right now.
    I'll do 30 min 3-4 days per week in addition to treadmill/Shred/Bootcamp.

    Starting at 161 lbs.

    Has anyone got the new EA Active yet? Is it worth it?

    thin4payton ~ I have the My Fitness Coach and love it. I use it for my cardio sessions every day. I would definitely recommend it.

    slm638 ~ I also have EA Active, but I've yet to start it yet. However, all the reviews, professional as well as user reviews have been quite promising, hence the reason I picked it up.

    vrdavid ~ I'd recommend the My Fitness Coach. I absolutely love it. Your workouts vary and they can be catered to your needs.

    just bumping this . . . forgot to do Wii Fit yesterday, so i know, i know . . . bad, bad me. I'm alternating it with the Couch to 5K program, so I kind of fall off-track:ohwell:

    I just bought the Wii Fit last night. My neighbor bought it a long time ago and we have enjoyed using hers on occasion, but it was time to get our own. What kind of challenge are we doing? I just started the Slim in 6 program, so my core commitment is to that. But I do plan on using the Wii Fit to track my progress and perhaps do some yoga. (And I like the hoola hoop game... it's fun and a pretty good workout!)

    Every week let's post our Wii Fit time and how we reached/ didn't reach our goals. You can say what exercises you did and your total time.

    Today I didn't cheat and did Wii Fit for 30 minutes. Hula hooping is a pain in the butt, but I love it!:tongue:

    I was on my Wii Fit yesterday for 46 minutes.... 20 step aerobics and 26 rhythm boxing.

    No Wii Fit today... walked around a local island... 1.5 miles... 30 minutes...

    Will start keeping track and check in weekly.

    I was on my Wii Fit for over an hour last night... half cardio (hoola hoop and running) and half strength training.

    This sounds really bad, but I think I'm gonna have to cut my time down to 30 mins a day 5 days a week. I am also doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and silly me thought I could do an hour of wii after that! Yeah Right!!:noway: LOL!! I guess I was not really thinking before I pledged. I just got so excited!! :happy:

    Whew! I just got done with Dance Dance Revolution (for the Wii). I did it for an hour and I am SWEATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, my fingers are slipping from the keys, ugh.

    Thin4payton - don't feel ashamed about cutting your time. We all get busy sometimes. My trying to balance the Wii with Couch to 5K has been kind of hard, but I feel GREAT!:happy:

    Now for some blogging . . . what's your favorite Wii Fit exercise???????????

    I really like the rhythm boxing but it can get old when you try to go faster than the machine allows. After that is the step and then all the strength training.

    I hear you about the boxing...like the idea, but not really much of a work out when it's so slow. My husband even commented after I had been working out on the Wii for an hour that I wasn't even sweating...I did 62 min of running, boxing, hula hoop, strength training and some of the more strenuous yoga poses...started working harder with the plank/push ups and the lunges, but that's about it.

    I think I'll have to reserve the Wii Fit for the lighter days, but should be a good compliment with other days of treadmill or Shred video. Still will try to do 30 min 3/week though - I find it is good for working core strength, balance, etc.

    I have found that the hoola hooping makes you break a sweat. Makes me a little dizzy, too . . . :tongue:
