I'm in again! Last month's challenge really motivated me. I'm going to do 30 minutes at least 6 days a week. 20 minutes on the strength/yoga routine I have on the Wii Fit Plus and then at least 10 to get the heart rate up. So that's 780 for this month.
I'm not counting minutes, but last week I started the 30 day Wii Active Challenge - so my goal for the month is to complete that on schedule - so, at least 5 Wii Active workouts a week.
What sort of things are included in the Wii Active?
It's got a lot of different activities - sports: boxing, tennis, basketball, volley ball, dancing, jogging, inline skating
And then strength excercises like squats, lunges, upper body resistance band excercises. . .just a bunch of stuff.
All the activities are combined in different work outs - there are pre-programmed ones for various things (like upper body, lower body, sports, marathon training, etc) or you can set a routine of your own. It comes with a resistance band and a legstrap to hold the nunchuck (although the strap really should be bigger - I had to lose 60 lbs before it would fit - although I could usually get the excercise to work with the nunchuck in my pocket).
Anyhow, they have a 30 day challenge where they give you a series of workouts over 30 days - and you can pick if you want easy, medium, or hard. It's really a lot of fun.
I tried counting minutes last time and well so many things happened that it just didn't work out. So I think I want to change my strategy a little bit. Instead of counting minutes, I want to count workouts. I used to be great at doing 3 workouts a week. However, now I'm lucky to get 2 in. So I'm going to aim for my usual 3 Wii workouts a week. I do other Wii workouts but not on Wii Fit.
Goal is to get a little more in shape and then move to EA Active and do the 30 day challenge and complete it.
I missed Wednesday and Thursday due to a crisis at work (and especially on Wednesday I really missed doing my Wii time; by Thursday I was too pooped to miss much of anything...). So now I'm at work on my regular shift and I managed 41 minutes including my now slightly lengthened strength and yoga routine but it was a pretty pathetic work-out that's for sure. The "instructor" kept commenting on how shakey I was. I was tempted to quit part way through but I didn't! And I even tried a couple new things.
