Hello everyone

I notice that there are a lot of you on here that have the Nitendo Wii sports / Wii Fit / DDR in the forum.
If anyone is interested is there away that we can incorporate a wii- fitness challenge on the forum I don't know but i really enjoy playing/working out with it and i want to know how it is helping others in their activity levels and is it really working for you. Also have weekly challenges to get a certain amount of fitness points/ hour in per week and to check in with each others. Just a thought please let me know what you think.

cheers

I would love to be included in this. I bought Wii fit 5 days ago and have been playing everyday!!! I don't have any ideas but I am game for whatever you come up with. I like the weekly challenge thing. I'll keep checking back.

Count me in! I use my Wii Fit almost daily.

I just bought one today. Count me in!!

I have done 30 minutes per day since the first.

I change it up all the time, one day aerobics, one day yoga, one day strenght one day games.

I think it is fantastic.

Awesome!!!,

I'll guess we will start by finding out everyones favorites section and this way we can start out that way. I am aware that some of us may have section unlock that others don't but that can be some of our weekly goals to unlock new levels and exercises. So I will start.

My fav section:Aerobics
Hula hoops -- Unlocked Super Hula Hoops
Running-- Unlocked Long Distance Running, Island Running and Free Running
Boxing -- Unlocked advance 6 minutes.

second section: Yoga
Deep breathing-100%
half moon
warrior -- unlocked standing knee, palm tree

strengh training
unlocked rowing squats, single leg twist, sidway leg twist, plank

Balance(absolutly bad at. lol)
unlocked, tightrope walk, balance bubble, penguin slide

so far total time on wii 2 hrs i will be adding to that later today. first day on wii fit 07/09/08 used everyday accept on 7/11. so along with my activity log i have a total of 4 hours.

So my first goal is to get at least solid 30 min a day on the wii-fit. please suggest other challenges also. all are welcome and it make this challenge different from all others on this forum. look forward to the challenge.

Bring your fit game on! LOL

We just got this yesterday and it is a blast. I really don't feel like I am getting a hard workout but just the fun of it and moviing around is worth doing.

If you think of a challange, I would love to join in!

Did this challenge go start?

If there's a challenge going on, I'd love to join. I need some fitness motivation, I love the Wii, its just getting myself one there.

That's a great idea! Count me in!

Hi - I just bought a Wii Fit this weekend and would be interested in getting a challenge going. This thread is pretty old - anyone interested?

I started this challenge and am still very interested in continuing it. As I am officially down 29lbs and i need more motivation to kick my activity up a notch as there are things that i have unlock but yet to try on the Wii so if we can have an official kick off for the Wii- challenge that will be great!!!

I am ready to get in to gear becuase now is the best time it is right before the Holidays and that mean we will work harder not to fall off track during the Holidays...

Look for the 1st challenge to be posted By OCT 31. or you can post one Before then if you like I will just join on either way... Let the games/(gain) Begin!!!


*gain = healthy living, energy, toning, and weight loss.*

I got mine today at Toys-R-Us. I ordered one from the internet Friday night and cancelled it today when I saw the complete nintendo system and Wii was cheaper..so I cancelled it. My fiancee is hooking it up tomorrow night....I am psyched....I will take you up on your challenge..Let the games begin!!!!!
I have a JC Pedometer,do you? I love to step. I am up to over 45,000 steps in one day (several times...) I put it on asa I get up in the morning....There is a pedometer challenge on here that I do too.....
My name is Christine,what is yours. I have lost 40lbs in 3 months and almost 2 weeks(weigh-in on Wednesdays). I need some more motivation because i am getting married for the first time on May 30,2009......Let me know when we begin..Thanks, Christine

I am looking forward to participating in the new challenge!

I was a little bit fed up with wii fit, so last week I bought "Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2009". I thought it was really bad, so I sold it in a Gamestop and bought "Active Life Outdoor Challenge". I really recommend it because it really gets your heart pumping. Also, the mat that goes with it is a great alternative to the wii board (you can jump and run on it).

Have a great week!

Hi, my Nintendo Wii sports will be hooked up tonight. I am up for the Wii challenge,and can't wait to start,please keep me posted....Thanks, Christine

I was on the Wii Fit for 30 minutes last night. I unlocked several new exercises, which is always fun. Especially since a few of them are longer than the basic exercises. I love the Super Hola-Hoop and also the Advanced Step. (I'm finally getting the hang of that.) I'm trying to get at least 90 minutes of Wii a week. (I also play tennis 2x per week and am doing Zumba twice a week.)

I feel like I'm not doing much when I'm doing the balance and yoga exercises, but I know it's good for my core and will help with posture and balance.

Christine - you mentioned a Christmas Weight Loss Challenge - where did you see this? I've been looking on the 28 Day Challenge thread, but haven't seen it.

Good luck to all!

- Jill

Hi Tanya,
Nice to know your name,thanks for sharing it with me! It makes sharing with people more special and pmore persnal when you know their name. I started the Wii fitness on Saturday-45 minutes,Sunday- 45 minutes. my new hubby to be and I have been playing the Wii games instead of watching TV and from playing tennis,bowling,& boxing ,my arms are sore, and I was amazed by all the sweat,I released. I had to take 2 showers on Saturday and Sunday....I love this challenge, and i wish you and everyone the best! Drop me aline soon, I enjoyed talking to you. Have agreat week! Christine

Is is too late to start ? I have had my wii fit for 2 months, but I took a break for a couple of weeks, I am going to be back on track starting Sunday.

I like outdoor challenge too, I sweat more with it than the Wii fit.


Why was Jillians Micheals so bad? Can you give me why you didn't like it?

Hello all,
I am aware that I did not specify the name of the challenge. please excuse me for that.

If you have not fond the new challenge yet (some of you did glad to see you there), The name of the thread/ challenge is


Wii Challenge You

hope to see you all there.


as an added note there is no time frame to join everyone is welcome. Drop me a note and let me know your thoughts.

Let the Game/Challeng begin...

Oscar T. Grouch: Jilliann Michaels was bad because
- there are very few games
- the controls don't respond very well

The only good things are:
- the scale is really precise
- the calories burned are measured accurately (I have the bodybugg to confirm it)

Read the reviews on amazon, it is a massacre!
