Wii Fit

[lauranewmsy]

Hello 😀😀

Hoping someone out there can help me please... I have just purchased Wii Fit Plus to help with fitness when I don't go out for an actual walk etc.  Does anyone know if I choose the Run exercise on my Versa whether this will pick up this activity properly if I am doing the Wii Fit jogging activity?  Or should I choose the Workout option instead?  I have already decided that when I try the Wii Fit Step activity I will set it as a workout... but just curious if anyone knows about the jogging option 

Thank you in advance

All that does it puts a different Text description on the label - has no effect on the fact it's going to use HR-based calorie burn no matter what you call it.

You should be able to create your own Workout called Wii Fit and select that one too.

Or go in after the fact and relabel the activity to whatever you might find useful for review down the road.

That's all that is - an Activity Record to show the snapshot of stats during that chunk of time - what it's called and the Notes you can add are merely for easy of review later - which is nice to do.

When the activity is not listed among the 8 that are allow use Workout mode. Workout mode is part of the 8 that you can use

Then set up a custom record called Wii Fit or what ever you want. Rename it after it syncs

You can find Custom Exercise at the bottom of the activity tracker on the Computer

@lauranewmsy so. how is it going? do you like it? is it helping you with fitness daily?

I love it 🥰 I’m doing 30 minutes of the Wii Free Step every morning and earning at least 3000 steps... I’m following Weight Watchers as well so it’s helping with that... in the week that I have had it my muscle mass % has increased and my body fat % and weight has decreased too 😊

@lauranewmsy  I loved Wii Free step! Until my Wii died 😞

@Heybales You are allowed only so many exercise shortcuts on the device itself.

You can set up a custom one on the web but it will never show on the device. That's why there is a Workout mode for cases like this

Oh no 😢😢 have a look on eBay as they have some good deals on 2nd hand ones, that’s how I got mine 😊

I set up a custom one on actual website and I am now able to choose it from the app when I categorise my workout after doing it 😊
