I just received a few questions from someone (Annette T. losing) that has successfully lost 13 pounds with a treadmill walking routine and has hit a plateau. She is wondering about changing her program and wanted my opinion on the Wii Fit.
The most common mistake that regular exercisers make is doing the same routine or weekly plan over and over again and expecting new results. Your body is amazing at adapting to similar routines so exercise programs should change regularly. The Wii Fit is a good program if you do it and choose both cardiovascular and strength training programs. You should do 30 mins of cardio most days of the week and strength train 2-4 times per week. Strength training will build lean muscle which will increase your metabolic rate so that you burn more calories at rest. The other piece of the puzzle is what you are eating. Keep a food log for a week and then enter the information into a website like nutritiondata.com.
Good Luck!
