Well, I just finished my 2nd day on the program. I put in about 30 minutes of strength training and aerobics. I had to miss a day because I was busy with school, but my goal is to get myself on the Wii Fit 5 times a week. It was probably a good thing that I missed a day because my abs were so sore after the first day that it hurt to even stand up.
One thing I like about the Wii Fit is that it unlocks more reps and exercises the more you use it. I've already unlocked several more yoga poses, strength exercises, aerobics routines and balance games. After you do each exercise a couple times, the Wii Fit allows you to select more repititions. I like this feature because it eases the user into the exercises and ensures that you don't go overboard your first time, which is helpful for people that are out of shape, like me.
One interesting thing I noticed is that the Wii Fit wanted me to do another body test (weight, BMI, balance, etc) on my second day of training. Don't most doctors recommend weighing yourself once a week? I'm only going to perform a body test once a week during this experiment. I don't want to get disheartened or too excited due to normal weight fluctuations.
I don't like the fact that I can't chain together exercises, because I waste a lot of time going through menus. 45 minutes of actual exercise time is probably more like an hour of real time just because I have to go through the software, select what exercise I want to do, press A on the Wii remote a few times to get past the "friendly" reminders to drink plenty of water or to be careful not to fall on my face, THEN when I've finished the exercise, I have to press quit to go select another one. It's only a mild inconvenience though. I enjoy watching the time spent exercising on the little on-screen "time bank" which appropriately enough resembles a pig.
