Wii Sports & Fit

Okay guy's & gals,
I am going to go out on a limb here and ask an off the wall question, knowing that I suspect the answer already. Does anyone out there use a Wii for their Cardio workouts. If so, can you explain? If not, can anyone tell me why not? I am curious about this as an alternative for my wife until the weather gets better.

We are looking for 30 minutes of cardio, 3 times a week, in our target heart rate range. IF she can sustain her target heart rate using WiiFit, then yes...it is cardio!! I have clients that crank up the music and dance in their living rooms too. Others head to the mall and use that space for indoor walking. So, have your wife strap on a heart rate monitor and start moving.

And Max...do let her know that we'd love for her to join the K-Community too! I'd love to meet her on this site!!; ▶ Reply to This

I had a client you a did jumping jacks for a half of an hour, not the most exciting but it worked for her. :)
If you have the space, jumping rope is an excellent way to get in some cardio without have to go to the gym.; ▶ Reply to This

Kelly Logsdon doesn't appear in the Member list. Did her last name change?; ▶ Reply to This

I'm getting Wii Active soon. If anything, they'll just be extra to my 30 min of cardio.; ▶ Reply to This
