***New*** Wii Fit Challenge - October

[zebredy]

Aw bless you! You wouldn't be seen as a pain and hey no one waffles on as much as I do Feel free to come in here and comment - tell us about your Wii Fit sessions. If you'd really want your own thread you can make one hun but you are more than welcome on here, we don't mind.

You can just update your ticker, thats just as good. X

PS. I was gonna ask you to join us anyway as we've had some good little chats in the gamer thread

Aw thanks. Trying just Wii fit plus for a while, as my hubby thinks I'm not doing some of the exercises on the other workout games right.. Not to sure on that, but as I can't join a gym and get someone in the know to tell me I'm doing some EA active exercises wrong, I'm gona play it safe and just do WF+ for now, until I fill 110% better about my back..

[Miss Mango]

Welcome to the challenge Claire, good to have you on board!

I've just done 35 mintues Hula Hooping. Wasted day today I'm afraid as I started it all so late. My mum has told me that I must get my exercise done earlier and not to worry about her! So I'm going to try to double up again tomorrow if poss and also get some cycling done. God I set myself such goals!!

Well I changed my tracker to show minutes instead of hours (10hrs looks a lot less then 600minutes mentally even though there the same)

Thing is sometimes I do like what I did today 24 minutes and I want to put down every extra minute I do. (know that might sound a little sad/weird to most)

Question - Anyone having the same problem as me on the step+

I find that when I put one foot on then do the other foot where its supposed to go up but not touch the board (the green steps) it does not always register it or gives me ok when I know sometimes its not. I have found leaning slightly to one side (with one leg off the board) helps make it register better, but is this just something I'm having a problem with.

Also want to know what every ones favourite activity on Wii fit plus is, mine is step+, only really gave it a proper chance today, and already done it 3 times, gona do it again tonight..

Good idea with changing the hours to minutes! It certainly looks loads more!

I don't have that specific problem on the Step+ but sometimes it doesn't always register my steps which is annoying. Also when I'm Hula Hooping it will tell me that the trick is to swivel your hips in a large neat circle - which is what I'm doing but it doesn't seem to pick it up. I think it just depends on the balance board hun, it doesn't always pick it up 100% of the time, thats all.

I love all the activities on Wii Fit+ but my faves are the 3 Step games, boxing, hula hooping, skateboarding, juggling, obstacle course, Kung Fu and I just adore the cute Marching parade.

My favourite is step plus and free step. I find it makes watching rubbish on tv acceptable - because at least I' doing something!! 30 mins soon goes by.

On step plus, I don't bother too much if it marks me wrong and I know I've done it right, at least I'm moving!

I've found that putting fresh batteries in the board helps too. If it's being really wrong.

Step + also seems to work better if you use a riser. Another tip I use is to put some anke weights on....

OOOH what a long post! (sorry)

 

[Miss Mango]

I use ankle weights too, usually 5lb - tires me out but worth it cos its giving my legs shape!
Where did you get your riser from hun? I really want one but the one I was gonna buy has been taken off the market before it has even been released!
