Is exercise using the Wii enough exercise? I usually do the free run and burn about 214 calories in half an hour and then in the evening i try to do an 85 minute workout also on the Wii and a second free run? Any comments or suggestions would be helpful! Thank you!

..I'm having trouble planning my workout because I can't workout every day. or the same day each week. my schedule is I got every Monday off I work every other Tuesdays I work every Wednesday I work every other Thursday I have every Friday off and I work every other weekend . The days I work I can't workout because I work 12 hrs. from 6:30pm to 6:30 Am Have enough time to go home sleep and get back up and go back out for another 12hrs...... Can anyone help me plan a workout on that schedule please let me know if you can...thanks

my biggest problem is night eating I can do great during the day but once I eat supper then I want to keep eating the rest of the night . I think I try every thing in the book and can't find any thing that works. I even went to bed early but couldn't fall asleep because of wanting some thing to eat and I can't just can't settle for something small . I just keep eating..grrrr....help!

lssmith previous month

it's stupid that you can't put your own exercises in manually on this site . only if you go pro

candracook previous month

Sorry for the delay Issmith.I think it's stupid that you can't put your own exercises on this site too. I've written a few emails to virtuagym, but so far I've gotten no results from that. Especially because my trainer often has me do this workout called burpees, and it's not listed on here.
But as far as some of the obstacles you're facing, I've been there before — at least with the late night snacking.
Maybe you could try loading up in the day time with heavier meals, like a reverse meal order. What I mean is, perhaps you could have dinner for breakfast, a standard lunch, then breakfast before going to bed. The premise is, you burn more calories during the day because you have all day to burn it off. So rather than having a heavy meal right before going to sleep, eat it early, and then have maybe oatmeal and fruit before bed. It's worth a shot. I know lots of people who've lost weight this way. Give it a shot for a week or two and see if it helps.

Candracook...I thought I seen Burpees in the exercises.....I'll again look some time and let you know. well with the eating I work 12 hrs. shifts and I work 6pm to 6 am...so I sleep during the day...but my big problem is my days off...so maybe that would work .I'll try it and let you know...once again thanks!

Hey all! I'm new to this site! I am trying to reach 120 pounds or less. I currently weigh 155. If you have any suggestions or pointers bring it on. I'm trying to get back into shape for my son

Wishing you the best. Two things: Exercise and watch what you eat. Either use the nutrition feature on VirtuaGym or download a food app --- such as Lose It!, to track your food. Set it up, still on course by watching your calories. Before you know it, pounds will start to come off.

I also want to get back into the 120's I started to walk 5 miles on my days off and looking to try to put weights lifting on my days off too. couple years ago my son got married and I lose 30 lbs just by walking 5 miles on my days off which avg. out to be 4 days a week after a month walking and my weight losing would slow down then I would fool my body by strapping 10 lbs leg weights around my waist.so I would start lose again...it worked

Hey everyone, I am new here and so far loving the sight! It's really easy to keep track of my workouts and stuff and the tips/support/workouts here are great! I'm also a great motivator and looking for friends to help achieve their goals as well as mine. Since Jan. I have been on a quest to lose 83 lbs by April 27th! It's a long shot, but as long as I get somewhat close, and I will be satisfied. I have high blood pressure and so I try to workout alot but I am also told that's why I can be overweight...I love cardio (zumba, kickboxing, treadmill walk/run,) and I do alot of strength training. My tummy is what fails to show any improvement, and is where most of my fat is anyways. Any tips? And please, please add me! Thanks guys!

newtonsown 11-02-2012 04:23

I am new also and pretty dumb about working out. I,ve always been a very physical and active person but I am now retired and bored. Getting fat in the process, I think I will try bike riding and walking to begin with what do you think. Iwant to lose about thirty pounds and tighten up my abdominal muscle.

Hey so I am a college student and I noticed that there wasn't a group that pertained to users pertaining to our demographic! I started a group called "College Users" where anybody can discuss issues, leave comments, or just blog ranging in topics from barriers/facilitators to nutrition pertaining to college life. Feel free to join!

dancer1201 27-02-2012 04:36
