Wii Active



Recommended Posts

I went out and bought Wii Active today, and love it. I haven't worked out in about 8 months, and I really wanted to give this a whirl.

Least to say, I am impressed. I just did the easy 20 minute cardio work out, and broke a sweat. It felt good even with my ankles and knees popping like crazy. I know I'll hurt tomorrow, but I plan on doing this 3-5 times per week. . .

How fun Tiff. My son and DIL brought their Wii over last Saturday and they had a new game pack - it had bowling, table tennis, golf, sword fighting, archery and several others - I think like 16 in all -- they played a few as did Bearded and it seemed like a real work out. I know there are those at work that SWEAR by the yoga, etc. Bearded and I don't even have a Wii (probably one of the few in the world) and when I suggested it, Bearded just gave me 'the look' ... so I guess I'll stick with working out at my friends, and re-incoporate my walking DVDs, pilates and bike riding. Keep us posted on your progress!

I'd like to have a WII. they are pretty spendy and then you have to pay extra for the WII active.

I smashed up my car so my extra money is going to go to getting it fixed:mad0::thumbup:

Daisy, how did you smash up your car? Are you okay?

I thought about getting a wii, but it just isn't in the budget right now. I don't think we would use it much anyways. Plus, we go to the gym.

Sounds like fun Tiff!

A friend at work was just telling me about this! He's a thin guy and said that it is a real work out! Just don't think I'd use it... my son has a Wii maybe I'll just borrow his :drool5:

We have a Wii & love it. The kids enjoy the games & dh and I do, too. Wii Active is on my wishlist, but unfortunately it's not in our budget right now. I'm glad to hear you like it, though.

I never thought we'd use ours, but we love it. It's great because it's so interactive, and we can all play unlike the other systems out there.

We have the Wii Sports with bowling, boxing, and tennis, and a few others, it's so much fun. I'm not a big gamer or anything, but the Wii offers so much.

I mowed the back yard yesterday, and weedeated around the house, so I didn't work out last night. But, tonight, it's on again.

I am fine, just a little mad at myself for being dumb. My friend has a little brick flower box next to herdriveway. They had their trailer parked on the driveway. My car sits really low to the ground and I didn't see it. I was being careful trying not to hit their trailer.

The flower box is toast.

Tiff, maybe I will have to reconsider it once the budget allows.

Daisy, I think we have all done something like that one time or another. I was in a hurry once and backed out of the driveway knowing darn good and well my hubby's trailer was right behind me and ran smack into it. I haven't lived that down to this day and it was years ago. What is important is that you are okay.

I'm glad you like yours and using it. My husband got me the wii fit last year and I used it for a while...it was really fun, maybe I'll have to try it out again.

Ok, girl, how did you smash up the car? Do you get hurt?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
