Master Exercise Kit for the Wii and Wii Fit

April 15, 2010 by Momstart 8 Comments

Thanks to The Game Review Network, I received Master Exercise Kit for Wii from CTA Digital.

Embark on a healthy Wii Fit™ workout regimen with the Master Exercise Kit for Wii from CTA Digital. With this basic yet handy bundle you’ll be able to properly use your Wii fit exercise games while you stay in shape.

That is the product description from CTA Digital. What is it to me? To me, it’s a great way to increase the workout that is already available from using my Wii Fit. I have the Wii Fit and the games that came with it, my favorite thing to do is the step aerobics and I have always wondered if there was a way to raise up the Wii Fit board safely.

What it contains:
Xertube Resistance Band
Calorie counting adapter for the Wii Remote
Yoga mat
Water Bottle
Balance Board Step cups

Compatible with the following Wii™ and Wii Fit™ exercise video game:
• The Biggest Loser™
• Daisy Fuentes Pilates™
• New U Fitness Focus™
• Your Shape™
• EA Active™
• Wii Fit™
• Wii Walk It Out™

What else has it been, it’s been a great helper to me in increasing the kids activity level during rainy days. Even Dad has been getting in on the fun. Everyone has been getting a turn on the Wii Fit lately and we don’t even always turn on the Wii.

The Calorie counter attaches to the end of the Wiimote. It’s just a simple calorie counter and it draws its power from the remote. It’s nice and simple. Works just fine.

The Yoga mat, is a green yoga mat that you place in the floor. It provides you with a little more comfort that just using the floor. The resistance band you have to attach the handles to it, but it’s a piece of cake. I think the entire Master Exercise Kit is a nice addition to the Wii Fit. It will increase your workout by adding resistance in multiple places. The bigger steps will work on the butt muscles that I so dearly need to get rid of.

Thank you to CTA Digital and Game Review Network for this review opportunity!

Fitness Friday with the Wii Moms is Fitness On

January 1, 2010 by Momstart 10 Comments

I haven’t posted with the Wii Mommies Fitness Friday since about May. Did I have great fitness without them? No I did not. In fact, from June through December I put on 7 lbs. This is a huge step back for me because I can’t put my pants on. I have one pair of jeans that I can wear and I haven’t been able to wear those since my surgery. When I went in for my surgery I weighed 157. I need to weigh between 114 and 135, my goal is to be 130 before BlogHer2010.

I know deep down that this is going to take a lot of work and dedication. It’s going to take a lifestyle change. I need to drink water every day. One whole glass before every meal will help lower my appetite. I need to stop snacking at bed time, and I need to stop eating off of the kids plates after each meal.

I need to get control of my serving sizes even when it’s something I LOVE. I need to wait before I get seconds and give my stomach some time to settle before I load up on more food. I need to cute back on my sugar intake and coffee creamer. I should give up coffee but that’s an unrealistic goal so I’m going to try and just cut back.

I’m supposed to be exercising right now but it has to be very light. Mostly the only thing I’m approved for is walking so my goal for the week is to walk three times. I don’t want to set such high goals that I just give up again. Giving up is not an option. It’s not healthy to be carrying around all this extra weight so I’m going to do something about it.

So for the seven days my concentration will be on drinking water, and walking. Hope I can talk the kids into walking with me. ;-). Feel free to leave your link with any Fitness post of your own and I’m going to come by and comment. Part of my New Years Resolution is to be more supportive to other bloggers.
