 So I was so proud of myself about running with the WII FIT the other day.  

The next day and today my calves are friggin killing me.

LOL

Even tho I do exercise I guess I haven't moved THOSE particular muscles in that way in awhile.

It's made me smile for the lst day or so...while I'm think..ouch.

Do you have Wii Active, also?

I got it for Christmas...have yet to use it (like my treadmill too much).

Looks like one heck of a workout!

I have a wii but not wii fit, how does it work?  Is the running just running in place or is there more to it?  I use an ellipitcal when I feel like dragging it out of the spare room (bad me!) but I have considered getting some wii stuff to help me exercise, give me variety.  My friend suggested wii zumba and the biggest loser one.  Right now I do videos (Biggest Loser) and the elliptical.  Thanks  :-)

 It's not an intense workut but it's ok for where I'm at.  I just was amazed I "could" run in place, because before WLS, I couldn't even do that...my knees, ankles etc where just too bad.  

I think it's fun, I've been usig it more the last few weeks as we 3-4 ft of snow outside and my gym has been packed.  I mostly do boxing, running, hula hooping for 30 min of aerobics and then another 20-30 min of their strentgh exercises/yoga/balance.

I also just got Just Dance for some different aerobic/dance exercise

 I recently got the EA Active 2 for the WII.  It's more of a structured workout with a personal trainer vs. random exercises/games. You work with exercise bands and body weight for toning, and intersperse that with cardio like walking, running, step, boxing, and playing games like basketball and soccer.   I have the WII Fit, too, and it's more fun, so maybe people are more likely to keep at it longer.  

I sympathize on the sore muscles.  I KNOW how you feel.

I was really wanting the Wii Fit to go with my Wii but I've heard it's kind of... mean?  Like it yells at you for being overweight?  Is that true?

WELL!!  I had a Wii too, but I revised to a PS3.  It's a much better alternative, waaaaay better than the Wii.  I got mine in Mexico, but I would recommend others get theirs closer to home - easier when it comes time for warranty work.  Truly, anybody who gets a Wii is just asking for trouble.  Stats show that PS3 is the best system for the money and almost never breaks down.

Oh, and I LOVE MY BAND.

 ROFL!!!


Oh and I just finished my wii workout and put on Just Dance for awhile and danced my butt off (well, ok not quite off...but I'm working on it)

Great fun!!

I danced to:
"girls just want to have fun"
"Heart of Glass"
"Ring my bell"
"Groove is in the heart"
"Little less conversation, a little more action"

Got some aerobic exercise in ..totally fun :)
