Wii Fit Day 3 - Part 2

Total Work Out Time: 38 minutes

This is starting to get easier.

I made a new personal best in both hoola hoop, and super hoola hoop. By the end of the third minute of super hoola hoop, I honestly didn't think i could finish. But i gutted it out and made it through.

The jog is getting easier too. I found i wasn't as out of breath as before. Though i'm not going to rely on the wii-mote to measure my speed etc on the jog because it just seems too random.

Moved from Aerobics to balance games to keep myself from getting burned out. I figure, a little work a little play a little work a little play.

My balance seems to be improving, as i've done better on the slalom now.

I still hate the "marble madness" style game, but I did beat my personal best in that as well

I unlocked one balance game that consists of you dressed like a penguin trying to catch fish. I got bored, couldn't finish that one. Too silly.

Strength training was tough. My muscles are still pretty sore, and there are muscles i didn't even know i used so much that are sore. Especially my abs and, strangely enough, the arches of my feet.

I did better on the push-up and side plank exercise, and was able to finish all 6 reps. The rest were without incident, got them done.

The Yoga really is the best way to finish a workout session. It helps to stretch out the sore muscles. I'm not nearly sore now as i was during the workout. I couldn't finish the last two though, my muscles were too tired to do the knee grab and the palm tree. Oh well, for another day.

Overall impressions after day 3: I'm still enjoying doing the Wii Fit. I can really feel that it is working at least something LOL, the sore muscles attest to that. I don't think the Wii Fit age has any bearing on how well you do, its just a calculation of your balance and your age. I'm going to start ignoring it. I had a 20 something year swing in the last 3 days.
