TOMWARDFARM Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 The new Wii Active was launched this week and it is a fantastic all round work out, very addictive also. You can use it with the Wii fit baance board as well, where as the wii fit balance board is more fun and balance awareness the wii active burns calories!

TOMWARDFARM Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 If ur glad its ur rest day then yes it is the same thing, I have been doing the 30 day challenge, a 29 minute (hard session - highly intense) 16 minute boxing and a 2.10 run every day for the last week. You can really feel it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I can't wait for my Birthday...........I am sure OH has bought me this, lets hope it keeps me motivated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Do you need to have the Wii fit thing to use the Active. OH and I were thinking of getting a Wii Fit as we need to get fitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I don't think so, but I have that already...........The Wii fit is more of a gentle exercise and I like the yoga bit but i don't find it pushes me enough. I am really looking forward to using the Wii active...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMWARDFARM Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 You can use it independant to the wii fit or in conjunction, you dont work any less using it wthout the wii fit. The wii fit is more of a laff and conentrates on balance etc. The wii active in my opinion will get you fitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) Thanks for that - we need to do something and thought this would fit in more rather than joining a gym (again - I used the cafe more than the gym ). I shall go and google it now Edited to add - have just ordered one Edited June 1, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMWARDFARM Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Thats how I looked at it, prices are 34.99-44.99 dependant on stockists, basically 1 months gym membership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Did my first workout today - it was really good and it defintely felt as if I was getting a good workout. Very sweaty I gave myself the fattest profile on it and it spurred me on watching 'my' fat bottom running along I burned up 90 calories - can I have a glass of wine now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I'm thinking about this may be the next purchase I would rather do something at home than anywhere else. Can't afford a gym membership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I have no will power whatsoever and have just ordered it. The only thing is that I am not sure whether I need to buy the peripherals bit as well??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 It all comes in the box you only need to buy the peripherals if 2 people want to play together............Have fun my thighs are aching after just one session..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Wow - I am aching this morning. Just got back from walking the dog before I have another go. I'm doing the 30 day challenge (believe me it will be a challenge). I'm so determined to get fit as there are far too many wobbly bits on my body.

TOMWARDFARM Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Has the throbbing stopped yet? the key is to keep going even if you are a bit achey the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 No - I'm doubting that I'll be able to pick up YS from school this afternoon Actually I feel great, even though I'm aching. I did used to belong to a gym and I never, ever got sweaty as once the gym people have done the induction there is no real incentive to push yourself hard (well not for me anyway) but seeing the big bottom running on the track is having the desired effect. I'm going to watch what I'm eating as well, I'm normally good at not scoffing chocolate and cakes but have been recently. My SIL is also doing this and we bought another set of leg band etc so OH and I can do workouts together. Watch this space - I am going to do it.
