Using the Wii Fit

Wii FitImage via Wikipedia

I have been using the Wii Fit system for about 27 days now, of which 5 were the last few consecutive days. It is a great system put out by Nintendo. I exercise and tend to reluctantly do it, everyday. I am excited that I am starting a pattern of use though.

I have chosen to do all of the Yoga exercises, the first row the Strength exercises and then usually 3 of the Aerobic exercises. This takes me into about an hour's worth of a workout. Mostly stretching, but some cardio.

I weigh myself and check my body out, so it find my Wii Fit age. Yesterday I ranked 44, 8 years older than I already am. I also weighed about 3 pounds more. I don't understand how it calculates these figures by testing my agility and weight. Although over time I will trust it more as it keeps track of these details closely.

My goal is to reach a BMI (body mass index) of 22.90. I have about 7 lbs to lose and I have about a month to accomplish this. Thus far I have been gaining weight and it can't be from my gaining any muscle mass. I am not really pumping iron. I have been eating maybe one extra meal a day it seems. I gotta stop and watch out for that. Nothing huge, just either another sandwich or bowl of cereal.

Anyone in search of a personal coach should spend the $80 to get this thing. It is great, a smart innovative talking back tv video game that is purely interactive. Hopefully it will pay off. I hate, or should I say disliked going to the gym when I tried out Gold's gym awhile back.
