Anyone using Wii Fit to get on the exercise wagon?
We bought one 10 days ago and so far so good -- I decided to take 2 days off a week if I felt like it and have unlocked a lot of new stuff.
I have a few favorites and a routine I've been doing. I am so beginner with the yoga it's not even funny: breathing, sun salutation, palm tree and I think that's it. Then strength I do a few more.
But aerobics is my thing: I do dancing (the beginner and the advanced), hula hoop (SO MUCH FUN) and my absolute favorite, Boxing! I sweat up a storm.
Then there are some balanced games for my cool down: the penguin and ski jump are my two favs.
All in all I do an average of about 50 minutes a day, which compared to my 0 minutes before has been a lot!
I'm beginning to love my wii fit as more than a scale lately haha. I don't really like the aerobics or balance games that much, I'd rather jump rope or bike for that. So far I've not unlocked much though. I do enjoy the bubble balance game, mostly cause it's just fun haha.
But the yoga I absolutely love. I'm trying to do 30 minutes of it every day because my flexibility is about as bad as you can get. The deep breathing is so relaxing though... it's kinda bad cause it makes me wanna fall asleep on my board lol. The weight training can be tiring lol! More tiring than the aerobics sometimes. I haven't done much of that though because I don't have a lot of room to get down on the ground unfortunately. So I do the standing exercises. Oh yea, the yoga pose I suck at most: Sun salutation. I've never been able to touch my toes even when I was a skinny 6 year old ballerina (it so proves flexibility has nothing to do with weight lol!). I'm so hoping if I continue with this, maybe in a few months I'll be able to! That would be the most awesomest thing.
I'm excited to unlock the boxing though. I've heard it's like, THE favorite mini game. And if it's anything like wii sports boxing, it'll make me tired lol.
I also just recently bought a WII Fit and am having fun with it. I'm not relying on it for all of my exercise, but have found it fun to have something else to do to get in some extra activity.
I haven't tried the boxing yet, but do have it unlocked...I'll have to give that a try! Yoga has proven to me how uncoordinated I am, but I'm improving! I love the aerobics and balance games, too....the bubble game frustrates me. I cannot get around the first island. :-)
Wiginn...I HATE that stupid bubble game! I am terrible at it!
I just got a wii fit about 5 days ago and I love it! I don't use it as primary exercise but it's a nice added activity. I have done an exercise during all the commericials of a long TV show.
Almost every day
~10 minutes expert boxing
~6 minutes super hula hoop
~5 minutes advanced step
~5 minutes island lap run
~10 minutes yoga
~10 minutes assorted (ski jump, slalom skiiing, tricep extentions, etc.)
Yay it's so good to hear other people are enjoying theirs too! I love the boxing and sweat to death. The first time I got on it, my Wii Fit age was 29!!!! 2 years younger than I was. Boy do I wish I remember what "test" it gave me because since then I've been all over the map -- in the upper 40s to low 30s.
I do use it as my only real exercise so 1 hour it is.
Oh I do the breathing exercises last, as a cool down in both Yoga as well as the "balance" one.
I hate the running one! Hate it! I think I am going to try soccer tomorrow!
I got mine on Friday! I love it. I have a hard time doing the Fit with my daughters around! My 1 1/2 year old likes to get on it when I'm getting my test done or a few games! Yesterday I got my first 28 age, my right age. I did get a 67 once but mostly 47. When I got the 67 I had the board facing the wrong way, my bad! I haven't gotten boxing yet. What did you do for that to unlock it?
I got one a week and a half ago and I love it. It really motivates me to work out everyday because I hate getting on it after I've skipped a day and have it say, "Too busy to exercise yesterday, eh?". Has anyone unlocked the free step program yet? That's my favorite because the step rhythm comes through the Wii Remote and you can watch TV while you do the exercise. I did it for 20 minutes a couple days ago and it was great. I also really like the yoga. Some of the strength exercises kill me though...rowing squats? OW!
I LOVE my Wii Fit too! If I'm not able to take the TV away from the family for 30 mins for my 30DS I turn on the Wii and work on the Free Step for 30 mins. You would think it's not doing much but your calves will be sore the next day I guarantee that!
I guess the people at Wii Fit also thought about busy tvs and want to make sure we have no excuse on not exercising.
The only thing I don't get is the running game. So I run with the wii fit but it ALWAYS gives me one star. How am I supposed to run to get more than one star and not running ahead of the other Mii? Any advice?
I use the Wii Fit too. I have mine for almost a month now. I use it everyday. I even bought another Wii system for the weekend house and bring the balance board back & forth so I don't miss my Fit time.
I enjoy the balance games as my warm up, then it's on to a few yoga poses, a few strength exercises, some step aerobics and some hula hoops. I cool down with the balance games again. I average 45 minutes plus I do a mile and a half walk on my way home each day.
I finally tried the boxing yesterday - it was fun, but the punching bag told me he knows I can do better next time - so maybe I'm not doing it too well?? LOL. I did break a sweat with it though!
I am a WII Fit addict. Every spare minute I can get on it, I'm there! My kids are saying "mom's gaming 24x7" - now, it's not that bad, but.....it's really only been about 30-45 min each day. :-)
Wii Fit
Any advice?
