Wii fit anyone?

[pappyny 0]

How many of you use Wii fit as your primary source of exercise? I find that Wii fit is all I have time for between my schedule, my husband and my daughters'.

I'm wondering what length of time seems to work for everyone that keeps you still losing weight. What exercises do you find work best to get toned up?

I aim for at least 30 mins. a day and I try to vary what I do each day. I do try to get in at least one aerobic and strength training in a night, but the others are just whatever looks good at the time.

Thanks for your help :tongue_smilie:

I just started using my wii fit again yesterday. I'm doing 30 minutes of aerobics and I try to do 30 minutes of the free step at night. You can do the free step and watch your favorite show at the same time. Once I get used to exercising again, I'll probably step it up with some strengh training. I know this isn't really the information that you were looking for, but hopefully it will help some.

That does help. Thanks!

I always forget about the free step. I'll have to try it sometime.

i have wii fit too, i forgot about it till now. but i love the step aerobics the best. i do alot of the balancing exercises too. i average 30 minutes per day as well. i am not losing at the moment, but haven't had a fill yet. i also do a walking video (walk away the pounds). i do 2 miles a day on that one. i just bought weighted balls to add to the resistance. i love it too. just moving i guess is the way to go. good luck.

The Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus is awesome!

After a couple of months of working out in the gym, I got tired of it because i dont like people watching me when i work out.

I bought a Wii and Wii Fit in June and have loved it ever since! You get to workout in your own home without people staring at you. I bought the Wii Fit Plus in Oct when it came out, and its so much fun.

You can exercise, yoga, strength training, and it even has fun games. If you have a family, your whole family can work out on it and have fun with it.

They also have over work out games for the Wii, one is by Jillian Michaels (from Biggest Loser)

I would def recommend getting a Wii !!

EA sports has EA Acitve which I have found way better than the wii fit the only downside is it has a leg strap that is a bit too tight for me at first. Plus to this is that it does cardio and strength training!!

Hi there. I do 30 minutes quick walking at lunch time about 5X a week and 30-45 minutes 5-7X aweek on the Wii. I have used Golds Gym Cardio, and Wii Fit. I have EA active and the new one from them on my christmas list! I also have a treadmill and tend to do my Wii before I will do that!! The step aerobics are incredible and I can add my own arm movements.

To answer your question....If I do more than 45 minutes I am hurting pretty bad in my hips and lower back the next morning. (arthritis)

I love my Wii fit plus, I do at least 30 minutes each day. I love the aerobics and stepping. The yoga is challenging but I try to do a little of that each day to warm up. I live in a cold area so it is a good way to exercise in inclement weather.

Step aercobic is my favorite as well. I've been thinking about buying the Wii fit plus, but wasn't sure if it was worth it. I have been convinced what it it :biggrin: I also have the active one, but have not used it very much because the leg strap was tight, that was quite a few pounds ago though. I'll have to try it again.

Thanks for all the responses.

It has been awhile since our last post....anyways....we are considering getting the Biggest Loser program for our Wii. Has anyone tried this or even the Jillian Michael's program?

I love the Wii Fit. I did it for 3 months and it was what helped me transition from couch potato to the gym. I don't use it anymore but no way could I have stuck with a fitness regimen without the Wii to get me kickstarted.
