Wii Fitness Coach

[emmapetty]

For anyone who hasn't heard of this, it's not wii fit, it's more like a fitness video that you follow along to. I bought mine back in May when I was just starting out on CD.

What I love about it is that you set up your own goals - for me I set mine to my goal weight with the goal of getting to that weight and becoming fitter! The game allows you to put in your weight, along with your measurements including: chest, waist, hips, biceps and thighs.

When I first got the game I was sweating, my heart was racing and half the workouts I could not finish

I have just gone on (yep, I'm hot and red faced with some sweating on the head!) and completed my 'physical challenge' - I have surprised myself! I am much fitter than I was back in May.

I managed 31 crunches (back in May I managed 4!!!) 29 sit ups (May - 2!!) My heart rate has also gone down, and I am more shocked that I actually enjoyed myself! I'm not sure the neighbours downstairs enjoyed it, but I did!

What's more thrilling is looking at the 'progress chart' and seeing those bars going down!

If anyone doesn't have the wii fitness coach, I highly recommend it! It's cheaper than most wii games too - amazon have it at £13.29 - BARGAIN! Well worth the money!

Hi Emma.....I love Wii Sports Active...think it's the best fitness game out of them all...you get to choose your trainer, male or female...and then it also has a 30 day challenge, have to say the upper body workout is great for bingo wings couldn't move my arms for few days after lol... Lots of exercises ranging from lunges to boxing, some dance, running, high leg kicks and kick backs then the arm exercises. So would definitely recommend it!
