Default Re: November WII Fit challenge?

I would love to join in on this challenge. I don't have the Wii Fit Plus, but I do have access to the first one. I would love to join by minutes... as far as the number of soccer balls hit, down the river, etc... that could be fun too. But perhaps the original challenge could be minutes so that no matter what activity we do we can count it? Not sure.. just tossing it out there...
Great idea!
Avery

I agree we could just do minutes for the challenge - I'm just thinking of some side 'friendly competition' - because I, for one, can not get down that stuipid river!...but I'm getting pretty good at the soccer balls!

I can't get down that river either. I think the music makes me nervous, too. Or, I'm going to blame part of it on that, anyway!
Last night, I couldn't stop laughing at myself... I was playing the soccer one and those stupid panda bears... they get me every time because I am just sure they are soccer balls. Haha! Let's do it! We'll get down the river, darnit!

Default Re: November WII Fit challenge?

I think we should do it like the other challenges, basically you challenge yourself. For example, in the abs challenge, I said I could do 1000 in October.

So, we each just give our minutes - I'll say 900 minutes, that's 30 minutes a day - which gives me some leeway. There will be days I won't do it, then there will be days that I will do more than 30. This is probably high for me - but hey - it's a challenge.

If you haven't done an exercise challenge yet, just go check out either the abs or squat challenge for october. People just keep running totals thru-out the month. Then whoever makes their goal, gets a 'trophey' to put in their signature!

Maybe then we could just list the little goofey things as extra 'incentive'.

What do you think?

I'm in! I like the idea of 900 minutes for the month. I just ordered the new Biggest Loser Wii/Wii Fit game online and the challenge will help me make good use of it!

I'm definitely interested! Would we have to log all our minutes on the actual Wii Fit game, or any Wii Fit game? I have a Golds Gym game and EA Active that would work great for a challenge like this!

Default Re: November WII Fit challenge?

It could just be a Wii challenge, not necessarily WiiFit.

So, here's our current list - just copy and add the number of minutes you 'pledge' for the month:

Avery 0/???
Barrnone 0/900
jmzieg82 0/???
MellyG 0/900
mizski 0/???
sporty 0/???

If you're new, just copy the list and add your name and minutes...looking forward to this challenge - my Wii was getting dusty!
