Wii Fit - First Week Results... Yikes
From Wratty @ 5/05/2008 07:20:00 PM
We've managed to get through our first week on Wii Fit. It's hardly been gruelling mind you, but we are starting to feel the brunt of it. There have been some aches and some pains yet there has been little or no weight loss, we're still around 17st 10lbs. Ish.
It's fair to say that this is no fault of Wii Fit, it's just that we haven't made any attempt whatsoever to adjust our lifestyle to match the regime of the software. Oh, and remember that when we say lifestyle we mean that we still eat like its going out of fashion.
What has worked so far? Well we've got a really good handle on our balance and posture. Wii Fit has certainly made us take a look at how we walk, and its made us raise our heads proudly and stride along swaying our arms looking at the world around us. Just a shame it seems to be full of imported Polish people and chavs right now.
The Wii Fitness Age is the other thing that's gone really well for us. Perfecting our balance has allowed us to perform well in the two tests that we must run through daily to discover what our Wii Fitness Age actually is. We began in the thirties and moved down as low as 22 the other day only to rest today at 25 - our actual age! Finally something to do with fitness that we can excel at! We pursued this further and stepped up to the Balance Board's ultimate balance test and somewhat nervously sailed through the three most difficult challenges the software has posed yet. Finishing on the test that requires you to stand completely still for three seconds (which we have found we can only do while holding our breath) we found ourselves not screaming the curses we have at N+ for the past months but instead screaming for joy!
The games and exercises have all proved extremely entertaining so far. Our favourites being the Hula and the Ski Jump, combining patience and balance! We also seem to be an instant hit with yoga, which we never saw coming! To find out how we've been getting on, and to keep updated on our progress please visit our Wii Fit blog. We hope you've been enjoying the experience as much as we have!
