Ok, I thought I could get away with doing my Wii Fit on the weekends and see some results. I now realize I need to increase the intensity a bit. So, I tried it out this past week.
My new strategy is to increase the number of workouts, and to pick the exercises that are more challenging. Instead of focusing on a great deal of balance exercises (which range from virtual ski jumps to tight rope walking), I included more of the aerobic runs and boxing, and strength training push-ups and lunges. I did five 15-30 minute sessions. I did not want to go bonkers just yet. I need to save that for if/when I plateau. Right now, it's all about the bare minimum. And, the bare minimum is working! I lost about two pounds!
I am going to try to maintain this pace and see what happens. I am definitely still interested in the Wii Fit. There are no signs of boredom yet! Although, I do worry a bit that the increased number of sessions and the more difficult workouts might get me there sooner
.
I will write another update soon.
