Day 11 for Wii Fit



Started my workout in the afternoon today, this entire past work week I did the exercises in the morning. This upcoming week will be a challenge because I will be traveling and out of my routine environment and diet. If I get through this upcoming week staying the course, that will be my biggest success up to this point. Logged 7 hours exactly on Wii Fit to date!


Yoga
  • "Deep Breathing" 88pts, shows that working out several hours after I awake that I am more balanced.
  • "Bridge" - This was a new position, did all right, could tell I was using my neck and shoulders more that I should have. Board and remote not used.
  • "Half-Moon" - 36pts left, 38pts right, total 74pts 3/4 stars.
  • "Shoulder Stand" - This was a new position. Basically supporting your upper back while having your legs stretched in the air. No Board or remote used. All Yoga positions have been unlocked and attempted at this point.
Strength Training
  • "Torso Twist" - 36 pts left, 40 pts right, total 80 pts 3/4 stars
  • "Push Up and Side-Plank" - 0 Pts. What really prevents me from getting through this is that I am having a really tough time using one hand/wrist to support myself during the side planks.
  • "Single-Arm Stand" - This was new exercise and really called me out on how I get up when getting up from the floor. Usually when I do exercises on the floor, I usually roll myself over to get up. This does not use the board, it uses the remote taking turns with each arm, you hold the remote in the air and while holding straight in the air you lay down on your back and get up with the opposite arm while holding the remote still in place. Great exercise, and I will practice this from just getting up from other lay down exercises. 20pts left, 30 pts right, total 50ts 2/4 stars.
Aerobics
  • "Advanced Hula-Hoop" - 3 minutes and caught every hoop thrown at me. 351 pts on the left, and 273pts on the right, total 624 pts 3/4 stars. Up from my previous 192 pts.
  • "Advanced Step" - This was a fun, basic step with a twist...litterally, lots of side steps involved. 444pts 2/4 stars
  • "Free-Run" 10 mins, 2.019 miles.
Balance Games
  • "Penguin Slide" - after 3 attempts finally scored 111 pts 4/4 stars.
  • "Snowboard Slalom" After 7 attempts of missing flags, and sometimes repeatedly the first flag, I finally scored 34.9 secs 3/4 stars.
Summary
1 hour and 13 minutes of my time and burned 1341 calories and logged 43 minutes on the Wii
I weighed in at 205.7 with a BMI of 28.8 and my Wii age was 32.
I must note that like every other day this week, I took breaks to do my blog while I did the exercises. So I really need to allow myself an 120 minutes every morning to get both accomplished.
