Wii Fit questions

CallaLily

You can pick up the accessory pack on amazon or ebay quite reasonably, it assumes you have the first ea active which came with the strap.

I personally have both EA active and more workouts and hopefully tomorrow will receive EA active 2 if the postman delivers on time .
I also use Exerbeat (Kids love the karate on it), wii fit, 10 minute solutions, Body coach dance workout, just dance 1 & 2, dance on broadway, biggest loser and fitness first new u. Didn't realise I had so many till I wrote it down I try to swop discs every few weeks to stop me getting bored.

got the first one on amazon which came with leg strap and resistance band - quite cheap. don't think it 'd work without this- doesn't always work that good with it tbh. i also use wii fit plus. just dance 1 and 2, and my latest addition zumba. thought i'd have a go at zumba at home before embarrasing myself in public at a class:)

What's the zumba one like? Is it fun to do?

yeah its a bit hard to follow at first but its good fun and great if you want to have a go before going to a class or as an addition to classes. went to my 1st class last week and it definately helped me recognize some of the steps!!

I got my wii fit for xmas. I love it but I dont use it often enough!! Some people I know use it every day as part of their exercise regime, I'mn just too lazy! I do have zumba though and first time I tried it wasnt very impressed.

My new wii exer-beat arrived today and I have found it really frustrating so far. I did a few of the exercises but have found it a faff to keep going back to the menu to choose the next exercise. I have so far "walked" to germany but I dont appear to have unlocked the ability to get the system to devise me a workout. At the moment I am just choosing ad-hoc things at random which is very time consuming and if i were out of breath i would have recovered in the bit where I am choosing the next thing. I've rambled on - hope it makes sense, but my question is - how long (or where is) does it take to be able to have a workout chosen for you. Many thanks.

Sorry to bump a thread thats a couple of weeks old but very glad I came across it! Brought this game tonight, tried the 1st tutorial and gave up! I have terrible co-ordination and found it really difficult

Might give it another try now I know others have found it difficult too

Don't worry about your co-ordination, honestly it doesn't matter at all After a couple of weeks I'm still pretty rubbish at it but I just keep following as best I can. The moves are fairly repetative so eventually you'll get there... or something similar in my case lol.

I think the idea is that you are moving/dancing round and enjoying it. I can't do all the moves perfectly so most of the time I just jump around or move my hips to the music... in the comfort of my own living room were I can make a total fool of myself. I'm still tripping over my own feet every now and again and even managed to headbutt the couch last week It's ok though, no-one saw it happen lol.

Thanks, think I'll definitely give it another go tonight
