Wii Fit & "Gaming Exercise" Challenge - January 2011

[Miss Mango]

Ooo i hadn't ever seen it before lol... Is it worth investing would you say??

The micheal jackson game is meant to be a fab workout from what i've told... not played it myself... Defo going to treat myself to a few mroe games... increase the variety i suppose!

Just out of curiousity does anybody know at what stages you get your different colour piggys?? xxx

Well its £99.99 here and I bought it myself thinking that it would be fabulous. I mean it is good fun and the game that goes with it is cute, you can cycle around country tracks or pretend you're down a mine shaft on a little roller basket, there is also a submarine you can ride in although I have not got the hang of that and a helicopter type thing which I don't have the hang of either so I just use the cycle ones. You can set either how long you want to spend cycling or set the calories you want to burn. I usually do 3 sets of 20 minutes a day.

My only problem with it is the resistance on the pedals of the bike, its literally non existant, so you don't really get much of a hard job like you would with an aerobic exercise bike. The bike seat hurts a little too.
Thats why I use ankle weights when I do mine as I want to feel something and it is pulling my legs into shape. I'm not sure how other people would fair with the easiness of the bike, I think its personal taste really, I'm ok with it now as I use the weights but you might find it does you no good at all.

I just wish Nintendo would bring out an official bike with better resistance, I would love that!

I'd day the Cyberbike is fun but not really worth £100, only worth about £50 I'd say and thats only because of the resistance on the pedals, if it had been better it would be worth every penny.

Sorry to have rambled on there xxx

[helzzz]

Well - I didn't achieve my target this month - not even close!

I started a new job this week which has involved me walking around for several hours a day in the cold. I'm tired, cold & achy when I get in and don't feel like then doing another hour on wii after all of that. I'm thinking that I've still been doing body magic so not feeling too bad about it as I've definitely done more excercise than the 6.5 hours I needed to do on wii fit.

Anyway - I'm sure I'll get more used to the work so I'm still signing up for February (but setting a lower target this time).

Thanks for the thread - it's kept me going a lot longer than I thought and still feel motivated for Feb despite the last week! (and my new games arrived - biggest loser & samba de amigos - can't wait to try them out). See you all in the Feb thread!

 

[Mrs_Davis]

Thanks for that info... totally understand what you are saying... may give it a miss then and invest in a normal aerobic exercise bike and pedal along to music.... still defo want to invest in Zumba though... although i heard the reviews aren't great... as a bit like a pedometer rather than mesauring how good your doing the moves... but hey long as it burns me calories & i enjoy it i'm not fussed!! hehe xx

Last day for everyone to reach targets.. Good luck... not sure if i'll get time today have housework, midwife round later too... check on how little man is doing... defo think he's engaged... plus got to take it easy... keep legs crossed as much as poss as hubby is away for the week arghhhh!! lol xxx

[judimac]

Decided to re-start my EASA 30 day challenge OMG! I forgot just how hard they work you! The running is nothing like the Wiifit one, kept telling me I was too slow. Then there were the squats and sideway lunges! I can feel my quads tightening as we speak! Pehaps I should have started on easy instead of medium

Did 35 mins on wii fit mainly step, then I did 40 mins on just dance. That will do me for today, didnt reach my target, but as I only had a week to do it I didn't do too bad. Tomorrow is another month.

 

[Julie2011]

Added yesterday's and today's. All pretty easy stuff on wii fit - cycling, jogging, advanced step and hula hoop. I will start TBL again in February.
