Wii Ways to Walk for Weight Loss
Even if Wii Fit is not exactly walking to lose weight it is such fun that it feels more like walking than “exercise”. However because Walking to Lose Weight ascribes to the belief that variety and feeling good make for a successful weight loss program the Wii Fit is a great addition to anyone’s repertoire.
Have you spoken to your friendly Wii Fit trainer recently? I have just pulled the console etc. out of its extended holiday hiding place and then needed to change the batteries in the remote control. This is what happens with extended disuse.
One of the tools on Wii Fit which helps with a weight loss program is the BMI and goal setting. While the Walking to Lose Weight program is not an advocate of constant weight monitoring the regular periodic check in to see the results or lack of them, is beneficial. While an absolute proponent of the slow and steady process for weight loss, there can be perceived effort without result which requires analysis.
Weight loss requires balancing fat reduction and muscle building. It is possible to do one without the other which is not what is really required. BMI is not the absolute criteria because it has its weaknesses but it can give some guidance as to how you are going on this score. As muscle builds you may find that your ideal weight is now heavier than it used to be say 15 years ago. Is this really a problem? For some it is but it only requires a slight revision to your thinking to realise that the number on the scale is not generally public information. It is like the other fallacy that developing the musculature in women results in a freakish look. This can be a concern to some women even though there are countless examples of beautifully feminine women who do weight work, because there are also examples of women who’s look they don’t want – the question becomes how do you know which is the right way or where to get the best advice.
Generally the best idea is to look at the trainers or advisers, gym regulars or class attendees of the program you are considering – how do they look? With the in home programs generally the look of the trainer on the dvd will give you a basis for understanding the look you are heading towards if you follow their guidance.
While walking dvds are a definite advantage for the serious at home weight loser, easier and require less thought to use, the Wii Fit has extra charm and builds in a variety of exercises and keeps track of your progress. I find room for both types of indoor walking.
