Wii- Fit

Either get used to it or just dont do the steps. I honestly really dont know. It doesnt bother me, so I really cant help you with that. If you can, try getting a yoga mat. We just bought the wii fit starter kit and it comes with a yoga mat and a cover for the board. And it puts a little more cushion under your feet. What can I say working out is gonna hurt. After doing EVERYTHING in wii fit for 3 days straight when we first got wii fit, believe me, I was in PAIN. My entire right side was killing me. Everytime I breathed in, it felt like someone was stabbing me with a knife in my right side. And now that I've been doing it for about 2 weeks now, while I still do get pain in my sides, it less and less each day. You'll eventually get used to it. Your heel spurs are probably weak, so therefor it hurts and doing this will toughen them up. After awhile it will stop hurting. After all when you work out, your basically ripping your muscles and re-building them back up again.

ACK! Didn't see that. I was putting my shoes on to do the step aerobics. My heel spurs were KILLING me when I did it without shoes. Now what?

No you MUST be barefoot on the board. So no socks either. If you look on the back of the board theres a warning label that says not to wear socks or shoes.

Oh! I've been doing it with socks on!!! I'll have to try barefoot next time. Maybe I will get more "perfects" and less "oks".

I unlocked the Free Step last night. And so I did 2 10 minute sessions while watching pride and prejudice (A&E version). Do you have to do it in 10 minute chunks and flip back to the Wii each time or can you set it for longer periods?

I'm sure it's fine with shoes-Nintendo is good at making its components tough as nails. I'm guessing that it's "optimal" to do it barefoot, and maybe a little too slippery with socks. I mean, think about it, how's a strip of rubber between your feet and the board going to hurt either? . Especially if your other choice is to not use it because it hurts too much

(is anyone else enjoying the new smilies as much as I am?)

I snagged a Wii Fit at our local Costco last night....we got the last one on the pallet ($79.99) -- haven't opened it yet as I want my kids to really think about whether they will use it or not. DH and I have invested so much money in video game equipment over the years and get so dismayed when they use for a few days and then it just sits and collects dust!

I did a 29 minute workout today and loved it! I have to say my back is hurting, and did last night also after my first time on it. I'm assuming its because my posture isn't the best when I don't use it.

Has anyone who's had this for several days actually noticed any weight loss from using this??
