Wii Fit intensity?

[Xponent]

I actually wish it was a little more intense than it is. Many of the stength and aerobics excercises are too mild IMO.

In terms of strength, the push ups, side stands, lunges, parrallel stretch and jacknife excercises are all effective, but the rest barely seem to raise a sweat. Sometimes it feels like I'm wasting my time.

Similarly, of the aerobics excercises, the boxing and hoola hooping are excellent and they can really work up a sweat, but the rest are quite weak, especially the step classes. The running excercise is OK, but it can never match actually running outside because you're not propelling your entire body weight forwards when you run on the spot.

Personally, I don't bother with yoga. I'm not concerned about flexibility and intensity wise, it does nothing for me.

I find that I'm just limiting myself to the few excercises that I find effective, which I mentioned above. It's a pity that Nintendo didn't include more strength and aerobics excercises than they did, just to vary things up for me.

It may seem that I'm whining, but I'm just playing devils advocate here. I really love the game. I've been putting in between 30 - 60 minutes every day and have noticed an improvement in my fitness and my posture. Excercises that seem difficult at first become noticably easier as you develop your strength.
