Body Test:
Center of Balance = 50.9L: 49.1R
I was a little forward today!
The Wii told me that the core muscles are more active when you have a good center of balance, which can raise your base metabolism and help burn fat more efficiently. Ok - I can get with that!
Basic Balance Test:
This is the one where you lean Left/Right and try to keep the red bar in the blue area for 3 seconds. The blue area gets smaller and shifts up and down, so you have to switch your balance. My time was 4.92 (previous 4.38, 6.09, 9.85). I think I can improve on this!
Peripheral Vision:
I still did not do this correctly the second time around, but I think I may have finally figured it out. I should go turn it on right now and try again. This one you have to select the numbers in order by hovering over the #, click the A button, then go onto the next. I don't think you're supposed to touch the other numbers. And my notes say something about keeping my COB (center of balance). Hmm... Does that mean return to the middle after each number?
Because I bombed the Peripheral test, my Wii Age was 61!
Soccer Heading:
Scores: 132 - 76 - 108 - 146 - 130
I'm still struggling with rapid shifts left and right. But I'm still trying!
I'm also considering tracking my scores on my reps to see if there is a pattern. I think I usually bomb my second rep because I get over-confident about pushing my limits.
Ski Slalom:
Scores: 42.41 - 42.33 - 39.98 - 40.18 - 40.20
Getting below 40 gets me into the Pro category! Something to strive for! Also, I made it through all the sets of poles on all reps!
I'm not accruing many Wii minutes on this game or the Soccer one. Hmph.
Tightrope:
Scores: 1.21.86 - 1.14.53 - 1.04.40 - 1.02.43 - 1.05.63
I'm determined to break the one minute barrier on this one! I am current ranking as a Pro. I want to know what it is for 4 out of 4 stars! The key is no wobbling and keeping going at a steady pace.
Penguin Slide:
New game - requires rapid Left/Right to tilt iceberg to feed penguins. Rapid L/Rs? Umm. No. Don't think I'm ready for that! Maybe after I get better at Soccer Heading!
Table Tilt:
I made it to the 8th table on my second game! That 5th table is a stinker, but I'm getting it down. I'm discovering that the orientation of the table matters a lot. If the hole is on the right and back, I really struggle.
I have to say I really enjoy the Wii! I look forward to using it every morning, although it doesn't magically motivate me out of bed yet. Plus, I find myself humming the Wii music during the day.
Get on your Wii!
