Whilst I agree that common sense should prevail, it seems inconsistent to leave this to common sense when the game still tells you how to stand and set up the balance board every single time you do an activity (even when you've done it tens of times before). Now that's something that should be left to common sense!
cause it's Nintendo. (but to be fair, regarding setting up the balance board, that's sort of needed to calibrate your stance and COB when starting a different exercise).
I understand your point, but this is the Zelda company. We're lucky the animated Balance Board doesn't appear in the corner reminding us to blink and beat our hearts.
+1 lol
I really need to get into this. Bought a fit meter and everything and haven't used it so far.
I just want to lose some weight, is there a 'recommended' daily routine. Some of my friends just do 30 mins of jogging and that seems to do the trick, but could get stale i guess.
There are pre-planned routines within the software, but I haven't used them. You can also make you own routines fairly easily by selecting from groups or just individual exercises.
If you are pressed for time, I'd simply recommend the advanced step aerobics workout for an extended duration, around 40 minutes. if you have *light* hand weights, wear those. and don't do the step aerobics like a zombie, dragging your feet. be light and your feet and make your movements with a "spring in your step" like your dancing. for an added challenge, place the balance board on a small, 2 to 4 inch wooden or plastic board (that's larger than the board itself and doesn't allow for sliding.)
For weight loss, your diet is the most important thing. Simply cut down on how much you each, in a responsible manner. Reduce your calories by 500 per week but still eat nutritious foods and take a multivitamin and drink water. If you are heavier, you can start off by reducing 1,000 cal per week. Check your weight and waistline measurements every 2 weeks and adjust calorie goals from there (you can input both and track them within Wii Fit U).
if you haven't trained for a while, take it slow initially. and definitely get some yoga into your routine.
