Wii Fit Plus

Having type 2 diabetes I have to exercise. I have been using a schwinn airdyne for a couple of years. When I do 30 minutes on the airdyne keeping my heart rate at around 118, this is the rate for maximum fat burning at my age, I burn approx 200 calories. I can't do more than 30 minutes on the airdyne because that is all my butt can stand. A few weeks ago I bought a gold gym's ellipitical. I saw it on home shopping newtwork for $399.00 which is a good price for the one I bought. There is a pre programmed workout on the elliptical for maximum weight loss. If I do it with my heart rate at 118 I burn 500 calories. On the airdyne I had to really work to get my heart rate up to 118 but on the elliptical I have to slow down to keep my heart rate at 118. It will get up to 125 before I get going good. When you exercise you need to keep a check on your heart rate and find what your target rate is for your age. I have been pleased with the elliptical.

(somehow my numbers have gotten messed up between here and facebook, where my family is following this. I have lost 18 lbs total, and this only adds up to 17. Anyhow, I am at 270 now, nice round number than I am leaving it as such)

We've got a Wii Fit and love it. I really just use the fit part for balance exercises. The big advantage to having a Wii is you have to get your butt off the couch to use it. I'm do a hard 30 minutes on the treadmill every morning and the Wii keeps me from vegging in front of the TV every night. The bowling game is a hoot.
