My Wii Fitness Game Progress – Week 1
One week has passed since I started my Wii Fit adventure and I’m still hanging in. I’m at the point when the initial excitement is beginning to cool down.
All the training modules are unlocked and when there’s nothing new to the game the motivation is really put to a test. My weight has gone up and down only to fall back to the same as when I started, however I’m still optimistic that the Wii Fit training will give results and didn’t really expect any difference after just one week.
However, I’m getting better in balance with the yoga practices, which is nice. I have unlocked and tried all the balance mini games but I only include one of them at the most in my daily schedule.

Wii fit really gives you a good variation of easy and tougher exercises which you may choose freely in what order you want to take them. I just love it so far. My only complaint about Wii Fit so far is the delay between the exercises could be shortened. I miss a function where you could save and load your favorite training schedule to run them without delays. With this, this fitness game would totally rock.
The Press-ups are my biggest challenge as 10 of these suckers totally kill me but it’s still one of my favorite Wii Fit exersises. I hope to get to the point of trying out 20 reps someday.

Here’s my current Daily schedule:
- I always start up with 2-3 Yoga Moves as a stretch and light warm up.
- Afterwards, I usually take an island lap which is enough to get the heat up a bit.
- Then I go into the muscle section and do 20 jack-knife, 10 press-ups and 1-2 other exercises.
- Back to Aerobics and do two exercises, usually boxing and step-up.
- I end with doing some final muscle modules and yoga stretching poses like the dance pose and the Palm Tree pose.

Week 1 Wii Fit Results:
Total time spent: 7 hours (20 % Yoga, 35 % muscle, 40% aerobics, 5% balance)
Starting Weight: 79.6 Kg (175.12 lbs)
Weight after 1 week: 79.6 Kg (175.12 lbs)
Weight change: None
Sad but true, no change after one week. Wii FIt is no magic bullet, as with other training programs you have to have patience and determination. With time results will come. The main thing about Wii fit is that you’re having fun while training and can easily see your progress. This is a great motivational boost for those that find it hard to get started.
If you own a Wii and haven’t started yet – Shame on you – Put it on the floor today and join the fun. For the others, don’t give yourself excuses, get yourself a Wii Fit and start training.
