Me & Wii, day 25

By
Real Estate Agent with BHHS Keys Real Estate

I have been using my Wii Christmas gift now for 25 days. I am using the Wii Fitness Plus for my daily routines. At 54, I am in need of Wiiloosing weight and trying to get back in shape for my Golden Years.

I am STILL thrilled with the Wii. The combination of different types of exercises makes it easy to stay motivated and moving.

 

I use the Island run (I'm at 3/4 of a mile) in conjunction with my treadmill. The treadmill allows me to verify my speed and distance, plus increase my incline. I usually do that first, then cool down with the stepper plus and finish with 15 minutes of yoga.

 

I haven't missed a day yet. If I don't have time for anything else, I get that run in. It is 13 minutes. Since I need to cool down, I always use that time for some yoga.

If I am feeling ambitious in the evening, I will go for some boxing or rhythm Kung Fu. If I feel like moving I throw in Dance II and dance to Raining Men.

If you have a Wii, plug it in and get on it! You'll have fun and get some exercise.

That's great. I have a friend who got one too and has lost 8 pounds and just loves it.

Wii JUST DANCE is a fun one, and pretty entertaining to watch as well!

Kathy, I've been wanting to get a wii and use it during bad weather. right now I'm training for a 1/2 marathon in April so I pretty much have to run outside several times a week. Good for you for sticking with your program!!!

I'm not sure the kids would let me on their Christmas present.  They are having a great time on it too.  Maybe they will let me on it in a few more weeks.
