Wii Fit & "Gaming Exercise" Challenge - January 2011

[Emmab77]

The free cycle is the one with the balloons / beach balls all dotted around. You don't have to seach for them if you don't want to but there there as they add another dimention to that level.

The free cycle (which is the 30 mins course) is the one where you can go where you want and do what you want, and yes (as I just found out) thats the one where you can unlock the new bike, just go to the beach and the waters edge and uncovered the shaded bits that are shown. You don't need to go to far into the sea (if you do then the cyclist kinda sinks/drowns)

I have been to all other parts of the map so the sea front and parts of the beach area where the only bits remaining I had to uncover.

Just look at the small map in the circle which you can enlarge by pressing 1 on the wii mote and you should be able to better see which parts of the beach you still need to uncover...

Hope that helps?

thx you for ur help ive got the new bike now xx

Of course you should have Monday off, you've worked hard, give yourself a little rest on the last day of the month then start again for Feb!

Ur welcome I was adding my time on so thought I mite aswell put it back on xx

Thanks again hunnie xx

I did an hour today, 30 mins cycling and 30 mins step. Don't think I will be able to go on again till Monday now.

Will be good for you to have a rest over the weekend anyway - just chill out and give yourself a little break hun X

36 mins on the aerobics jogging. Found another route on island lap, 3 more on the long. Just overtake the Mii in front at different places.

Everyone has been great on the hints and tips this month, brilliant work, we're all gonna know WiiFit backwards at this rate!

I'll be making the new thread for February this evening so I'll be sure to link it in here so you can all get your names down and we can collect everyone in over the weekend xxx

Thanks again for doing this. I find that having other people to chat to who are using the Wii as well, is great, plus putting my time for the month down here for all too see is good too (nice having something to aim for, really motivates me).

Going to up my time for next month, but going to up it slowly each month over the year, rather then just going from say 10hrs too 40hrs or something silly, as that would really de-motivate me seeing that I had to do so many hours in one month after only doing 10 in January lol

Anyway enough of my ramblings, hopefully I can get 30 mins done today (might try chatting to my hubby while doing the free cycling again made time fly by last time I did it when he was home)

No probs at all zebredy, I love doing the threads and really enjoy working out too, I agree that it makes things so much easier to have this thread and have some exercising buddies and somewhere to chat and share hints and tips

You've all been great this month and I've just made the new thread so I'll link it for you all.

Your upping of your hours sounds like a sensible way to do it to me and I'm doing the same We're all gonng be looking good for summer I'm telling ya

Hope you get your 30 mins done hunnie xxx

Hi, I have just seen that zumba is coming out on the wii in march, I've heard that zumba is a good workout, does anybody know anything much about it. Thinking about pre-ordering it from play.com.

 

[shifty]

Hi amandas, I do the zumba workout on dvd at home & it is absolutely fantastic,really gets the heart rate up & because you're dancing you don't feel like you are doing a workout as such,although I can't say what it will be like on the wii,but if it's anything like the zumba dvd then it will be fantastic!! Hope that helps!?

This thread is fantastic by the way,must put my hours down for february if that's ok? x

 

[Amandas11976]

Shifty - go for it, I will be putting my hours down soon too. Just dance for the wii has just arrived, will be giving that a go from Monday. If I get on all right with it I might give the zumba a go.

 

[zoemee20]

ive been doing the expert course about 3 imes and i give up like half way through.. the most ive got is 14 n im pooped lol! so my goal tonight is to get all 20 of the flags no matter how long it takes me!! x

 

[judimac]

That's the spirit!

 

[zoemee20]

how long did it take you guys?? I seem to get 14 pretty easily and then i get stuck... theres one in that big cirlce cave on the map..but then theres 2 that looks like there in the cave but there not & i cant get them!xx

 

[shifty]

Oh fantastic..
Just need to work out how many hours I will be able to fit in without over or under estimating,mind you febs a pretty easy month to work out with it having 28 days lol
Plus I'm hopefully starting a couple of swimming or gym sessions a week after Monday,I'm going to see the beep practicioner on Monday,so hopefully tues or wed I should be doing that little bit more!
I'm just feeling really positive that things seem to be going in the right direction at the moment, I'm eating so much better,thanks to me doing the SW plan for the last 3 weeks,I'm walking at least 30mins a day,doing wii fit,a bit of zumba & hopefully like I said the gym or swimming (although I do hope it's the gym as I don't know if I feel confident enough to let strangers see me nearly naked)!! And the help on this forum has been absolutely invaluable to me,I've got so many fantastic tips!!
