Ohhhhhh me likey !!
I have just dance, wii fit, wii active.
Im defo going to get back into it.....

My other half just got a new job as a gym instructor and is going through his personal trainer as well. He wants me to go to the gym with him at night and he will put me thru my paces. Im not sure if this is a good idea so close to the wedding, i could end up groom less if he even tried to shout at me....

Good Luck. xx xx

ainey feel free to join in a well done on those 20 minutes. it all adds up !

booty how fab is that having your own personal trainer in the house ! i'd take advantage of that, especially if theres a gym discount in there somewhere !

done 5 songs on just dance, various levels and im rubbish at them all but really enjoy it so thats the main thing. i always thought i had good rhythm as well . also done 1 circuit on the biggest loser. not much but it was my first time trying it out plus cbb was coming on . probably just over half an hour all in

I might have a bash at the biggest loser tonight or might do wii fit again............

My little girl has changed the wii characters (she is now me so that she can play more activities on the wii fit. I am now her - we are also identical apart from i am fatter!) Have to get this changed!

Well done Minnie Do you need a dance mat for this?

Booty - personal trainer in the house sounds good!

hi minnie, i have wii fit and wii active. I think hubby might have wii dance for my birthday!

ainey nope you dont need a mat, its just the controller. im not sure how it works to be honest. sometimes i get an ok score then other times im terrible lol.

margy hope you'll join in and post how your getting on with it

count me in will dust off my wii tonight and i have the wii active too

excellent! i didnt get on mine yesterday but will do double today to make up for it

Hi Guys

I got the Biggest Loser wii game for xmas and have to say it is really very good. I go to a gym class most days but sometimes if its closed or I dont have a sitter I have used the game and I promise I feel like I have had a really good workout.

Lots of options to choose from and difficulty levels, hints and tips - a big thumbs up from me.

On a similar note though, the Jillian Michaels Game is mince, just not what I expected at all.

30 mins in wii logged today and Body Pump at 6.00.

Dusted off my wii fit yesteray. Cheeky thing said it was 209 days since it had seen me LOL!! Anyway i did 23 mins on EA sports active yesterday and 28 mins on it this morning. Managed to burn 40 calories over my target calories so quite happy with that. Am still not getting to grips with the eating but at least i'm doing this!! ANd once all this white stuff gets away i'll get running again!

i did 20 mins on wii fit but more like 10 as i had to take turns with my little girl.

I amnaged to get my hands on wii just dance. I did 18 mins yesterday. It's a great game, it makes you laugh and you don't realise how hard your working.

Hi girls count me in as well I,m not one for going to the gym but i,m going to get the BL and just dance they both sound rally good i,ll probably have to order online as theres no where here that would have them you all seem to be enjoying and Ive heard Jaci saying before how good BL is on the wii Ive just had a thought might get in Argos
Keep up the good work
Meg xx

Meg, i get my wii games from Amazon, usually always cheaper

The wii fit plus is a great one to get too!


Shirley x

Thanks Shirley i,ll have a look at the Amazon site xx

another 18 min on just dance, i'm slowly getting there!

After recommending buying the wii fit plus, i remembered i've not done it in a while So, did half an hour today (hope to make it a daily half hour!!!) Not much, but it's a start, and better than nothing....

Waiting on a pot of free soup to cook, then am tucking into a bowl before my tea x


Oh dear, went 6cx over for today (worst part of being in all day, couldn't be bothered going anywhere....) so, ended up doing another 30mins on the wii fit plus. Feel less guilty now, even if my legs hurt
Think i'm just going to go to bed now, in case i'm tempted by anything else!!!

nite all x

minnie!! where are you?

i switched it on at last!!

32 mins on the wii fit -Sunday

I am gonna try every night but i know this is my 3 day week and i get crabbit

Hi everyone, can i join you in the wii challenge?!

I don't have a wii fit yet, but i've got sports resort and my fitness coach. Today i did 45 minutes on my fitness coach (a 30 minute workout first and then a 15 minute workout) all cardio, so feeling pretty positive.

I'm off to work now and my hotpot/sausage casserole type dinner is bubbling away nicely in the pot. xxx

yeah its on the wii fit, think its defo in the aerobics, i will look tonight xx maybe u havent earned it yet?

course you can kiwi xx

Well that's me done my 30 minutes on "My Fitness Coach" for today xxx

aaaaaaaaaah brilliant...

this thread will get the cobwebs off my wii fit for sure.. how does it work?x?

hello everyone and sorry ive been missing. i have not managed to get on as much as i would like, thanks to celeb big brother and a months free subscription to lovefilm lol. anyhow i promise to make more of an effort.

just been having a wee read back there and you are all doing well, keep it up !

i really fancy a go on the boxing again as well. the one thats on the wii sports game. i feel i get a lot of of that one, caloires burnt and frustration taking out at the same time

lainybee all you need to do is post when youve been on the wii doing any exercise/dancing/yoga etc

my new wii fit plus arrived today and i burned 99cals just having a nose about, it looks fab. Can'y wait to have a proper go!

You'll love it Margy, it's great fun enjoy the new games on it!! x

i was thinking off dusting my wii fit off not been used urm since i bought it.....oops .

I heard that just dance was really good so may get that. Great thread x

Hello ladies!

Kelly can I come back in with a shamed face as I have been missing for so long!

I have Just Dance and love it!

Do you recommend the biggest loser as well then?

I am not able to get on everyday anymore due to work and my shift pattern but I will promise to try and come on on my days off

Today I managed 20 mins (after work!) on Just Dance

xx

claire!!!!! i can't tell you how chuffed i am to see you posting on here again you've been missed xx

ive only done the start of the biggest loser but from what everyone seems to be saying it a good one. i was pretty knackered just after the wee bit i done so it certainly seemed to be working for me

hello to everyone else who has been dusting the cobwebs off! im hoping this year my wii fit board manages to see the light of day after january. my wee on it hasnt changed colour in over a year i think lol

Hi Ladies,

I have the Wii fit and havent been on it for ages, so I have come to join this thread and hopefully it will motivate me to use it everyday, at moment I have wii fit, wii active and wii play. Tried to get Just Dance but it was sold out, Will buy it at pay day. Is it good, do you feel like you are getting a good work out?

Well done on all your hard work and motivation.

Will pop back on later to let you know how I have done.

i think you do feel like you are getting a good workout, it certainly makes you feel shattered after doing it for a while!!

I was thinking for those of you with Just dance to you fancy taking part in a further challenge?

Say I pick 4 songs each week and we do them to get our best scores and then each week post the scores so we are having a mini competition with each other?

If you fancy it I will start another thread with the song choices for this week.

xx

I fancy the sound of that claireiom! I don't have the game but i can try to get my hands on it over the weekend!!

I haven't done anything today yet.... but hope to squeeze some in later,might do boxing again, that was fun yesterday. x

Kiwi, I got it in Morrissons and seen it in Tesco today so you could always try there as well.

Its great fun!

I picked up the biggest loser as well today Haven't tried it yet, thats on the cards for tonight!

So far I have done 30mins on Just dance and 30 mins on samba de amigo (tesco have this for £10) its really good fun, you have to shake your wii remote like maracas in time to the music - not as tiring as Just Dance but good fun!

xx

I actually managed to re-connect my our Wii to the other TV in one of the bedrooms so I haven't got the excuse of OH watching sport now

I managed just a wee beginners workout with Bob on the BL found it a bit of a pain, using/not using the board, think I'll choose the other option next time

I will have to try Morrisons the next time i'm in Dumbarton, thanks claireiom. In the meantime i bought the BL and also All star cheerleader 2. My balance board has been dispatched so if it doesnt arrive today then hopefully i'll have it by monday, but i might try the BL without the balance board for a bit today! xxx

I've now done half an hour on the Biggest Loser today. It's fab! x

Edit: I ended up doing another half hour in the afternoon....phew! x

I did 30 mins on the biggest loser with Bob last night. Only did the beginners OMG cannot beleive how unfit I actually am.

Hope to do some Yoga later on it, it is a really good game, unable to use the fit board though as its not charging so just using the remote but really enjoyed it

Well done jimboodee! I know it's tiring isn't it!

I didn't have and "training" scheduled for today (and i don't know how you figur out what days you do have training on... does anyone know?) so i did a 30 minute moderate extra workout, but i have to adapt my workouts slightly as i live above someone so i don't do jumping jacks (I do standing jacks) and for the jump rope bit and mountainclimbers i just jog lightly.... i still feel the burn but don't want my neighbour to think there's a heard of elephants upstairs!

The bits on the floor kill me, doing the proper plank, omg my arms wobble like mad and it kills my tummy! But we'll get there eh! xxx

ive just done 30 mins on the wii fit plus

well done guys, makes me feel better knowing others are doing same.

I hate jumping jacks always have, gets me each time ...lol

The wii is fab

xx
