The Wii Fit Team!!!!!!!!!!

I too am still here, I've just been pouting the last few days and haven't done much. My doctor just told me that I can't do anything with impact what so ever because of my knees, I'm soo depressed. I've been doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred for the last couple months and have really enjoyed it (which is why I haven't done much on the Wii), but now I can't do it at all, so this is why I've been pouting. I didn't do the Wii at all last week, but due to the doctor's orders, I will be spending more time on the Wii doing the low impact exercises. So I expect that next week I will have a better check in on Tuesday. How did everyone else do? Who won the boxing challenge? I still have to switch up that sensor and try it again.
Good luck this week! :flowerforyou:

Hello everyone,

I did OK the last week and managed to get in 4 days at 30 minutes each day. Woot!

I had thought that once my kids were in high school, things would calm down for me. Boy, was I wrong! They are keeping us so busy running them around it's cut into my Wii time.

Welcome twirlingangel! The box is a lot of fun and a good anger release.

JB- sorry to hear about your knees. Do you wear any type of support when you excercise? I use to wear the soft generic kind from the grocery store when I first started to excercise again.

Any room for a new member of this group?? I'd like to use my Wii Fit more & this would give me a reason to get on it. I'd like to use it more for strength training as I am already using the C25K program for my cardio. I can commit to 30 mins 3 times a week.

I just started Week 1 yesterday. I'm new to this whole thing - but I'm jumping in with both feet - I have some serious losing to do! I do love my Wii Fit, but I don't get on it as often as I should, so I'm hoping this will keep me accountable. My favorites are the step and hula hoop, but I'm going to focus more on the strength training aspect. (My husband says his favorite is watching me do the hula hoop!) :blushing:

IS IT TOO LATE???? I just bought a wii Fit last night still haven't set it up but i will tonight.. and i would love to join a challenge to get me using this thing.. I was wondering has anyone used it before and lost weight from using it..???Please let me know if i can join

For all the new people-

Welcome!

It's not too late to join. We all set personal goals on what we want to do. Check in is on Tuesdays. To make if more fun we've started a weekly challenge that we all try to incorporate into our routines.

Last week we all tried to have 1/2 of our time be Yoga or Strength Training.

I've lost weight and inches and Wii Fit counts for most of my excercise time. I love it. Outside of the Wii I walk my dogs or walk around the soccer field while my kids are practicing.

If you do a search on internet you can find all the calories burned for each of the excercises. There are also many sites that will give you routines to do. If you can't find anything on line if you scroll back far enough you will find that information repeated here in this tread.

If you can't find it, just ask here in the thread and those of us who have been around for a while can help you out.

The children's rehabilitation hospital where I work uses the Wii Fit for kids that are recovering from all sorts of issues. The balance board really does help you do the excercies correctly and as annoying as the trainer's voice is, it does help you stay balance and in alignment. Plus they think it is fun and lst boring than just doing Pt. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the Wii in the rehab gym.

Talk to you all on Tuesday for checkin and good luck in making good healthy choices this weekend!

Tuesday checkin:

I did the half/half challenge and I think it was a good reminder to be well rounded in excercising. My scores were terrible, but I am going to keep trying to have a balance routine, so they should get better. Also, I did meet my personal goal of 4 days x 30 minutes. (barely)

Newbies: This is a revolving challenge so any one can join any time. Welcome all who are new.

This morning I weighed in at 159.8 lbs. It is the first time in a long time that I have been under 160. So, I am pleased eventhough I only lost one pound in August.

Fitgal- Do you want to start a new thread for September? I know some threads do that, but I am not sure if it is really easier to find or not.

Happy checkin day all!

My Wii isnt plugged in atm, and my bf has a very complicated setup behind the tv (hes a nerd/geek/dork so he does these things) so no wiifit yesterday or today. Ill hafta get him to set it up tonight so I can get in my cheaters cardio tomorrow!
Id rather hula hoop and jog in place than go out in public to jog (im still self conscious in my workout clothes)

So true! WII Fit is just fluff but, AE Active is the real thing. I sweat my butt off last night. I did high intensity for the first time - woah! I have done AE Monday and Tuesday. This is the best - It's like having a personal trainer and you don't get bored with the same thing. Looks like there will be a new thread starting Sept. 1st?

Is there a way to record your Wii fit exercise on MFP??? If I knew how many calories I were burning using my Wii fit that would be so awsome!!!!

I just got my wii fit in today! I want to join!

I dont think you even have to ask to join lol
