TechPlay Experience

In this post I explained that I was going to put Wii Fit to the test to hopefully burn off some of the extra calories associated with the festive period.

On Day 1 I burnt off 68 Calories.

On Day 2 I burnt off 103 Calories.

Day 3

Using the ‘My Wii Fit Plus’ mode I chose the Waste Reduction Routine and Wii Fit put together a 3 part routine for me.

The first Exercise routine I took part in was the Jackknife muscle workout. In the Jackknife you lay down on your back on the floor with your feet on the Balance Board.

The on screen trainer then talks you through the exercise where you lift your legs and head into the air at the same time to form a V shape, this is repeated for 10 reps, and you will feel the pull in your muscles.

The second routine today was the Single Leg Twist Muscle Workout. In this workout you stand on the Balance Board and raise one leg up to your waist height whilst bending your knee so that your feet are facing the floor, and then putting it down on the board again.

This is repeated ten times for each leg.

The final exercise today was the Snowball Fight training plus exercise. For the Snowball Fight game your Mii is hidden behind a protective wall, and you control it by leaning left or right on the board. By leaning to the left your Mii jumps out to the left of the barrier and by leaning to the right your Mii jumps out to the right of the barrier. When out in the open you use the Wii Remote to aim and throw snowballs at the other combatants, in the fun and gentle exercise.

In total the 3 exercises took 5 mins of exercise and burnt off approx 19 Calories which is the same as a 15 gram portion of olives.

Keen to keep up the good work I repeated the Over Indulged routine from Day 1.

In total today my exercises took 14 mins and burnt off 84 Calories, the same as 1 cup of fresh blueberries.
