Wii Fit Review – What’s Good and What Could be Much Better

Filed under: Cardio, Exercise, Exercise Programs — Stephanie @ 8:57 am

Wii fit is a pretty good motivator to exercise. It starts out by measuring your Body Mass Index and suggesting a weight loss goal, plus it sets a time frame for achieving the goal. It also motivates you through showing how much time you have spent exercising each session, and greeting you at the beginning of the workout. If you haven’t exercised for awhile then you can expect a small lecture, and if any of your friends haven’t logged in for awhile, then it asks you about them. For those who are a little overweight, the Mii that represents you will have a little pudge around the gut. It also assigns you points for how well you achieved different exercises and it is fun to compete with others in your system to get the highest scores.

Losing Weight In The New Year

Filed under: Diet, Exercise, Weight Loss, calories — Stephanie @ 5:34 pm

Almost everyone has made the commitment to get fit and lose weight in the New Year.  At One Big Health Nut, we like to think of the getting fit part as the best path to losing weight.  So really, the key to losing weight is exercising and getting your heart rate up on a daily basis.  Just be more active.   People who are more active can lose weight without making any major changes to their diet.

The more active you are with your body, the more energy your body burns.   That means you can eat more food without packing on the fat.   It’s what some have called the simple math of losing weight.  Basically, if you burn more calories than you take in each day, you will lose weight.  It’s that simple.
