Single Leg
This is so hard! Gah! Used my right leg again. 63% (prev 56%)

Prediction Test (the one with the walls)
Dang it! 15.45 (same)
I went back after my workout to practice on this one - and I did *much* better once I was warmed up. It'll come.

Ski Slalom
40.08 - 38.00 - 37.05 - 38.16 - 36.8!!
Squat to increase speed? Or tilt forward? Or both? Not sure. But I'm improving!

Ski Jump
151+152=303! - 143+146=289 - 152+160=312! - 150+148=298 - 140+189=329!!
Gotta crunch the right toes to stay in the 'gold' zone on acceleration, then lock tight after extend. Holding breath helps.

Balance Bubble
54.21 - 51.88 - 54.00 - 47.38 - 43.80!!
Woohoo! My new goal on this one is to get my score under 50. Amazing. I should pause and look back on my scores. I wonder how long ago it was that I couldn't even make it to the rainbow...

Penguin Slide
62 - 92 - 71 - 107! - 64
Feels like I can't be too forward on my feet, or too far to the left and right. Almost like there is this invisible balance zone that I have to stay within. "Mid-range"? I would be very interested to see the physiology on this one and how it works different muscles than the others. It's like I have to keep it tighter, but not as tight as the Table Tilt - and not as loose or crank as hard to the left/right as Soccer Heading. I tried this time to keep it more towards the middle of the iceberg instead of sliding too much back and forth. Tricky!

Lotus Focus
33 - 62 - 90 - 180!!!- 152
I made it to the end! This one actually has an end! LOL. I wasn't sure if I would just keep sitting forever or what. I think the 180 is in seconds, so that's 3 minutes of staying still. Ok. I'll buy that. I have a ways to go on this one. On my successful rep, I tried to keep my primary focus on my breathing - yoga style with the "ha-ha's" and working my diaphragm.

The lesson learned on this one is that I am easily distracted and reactive. There is a time for that, like going after the fishes on the Penguin Slide or the soccer balls, but even those need to be more controlled. It'll come. Three weeks of every day practice. I am very pleased with myself! Especially since in this last week I've upped my Wii minutes to 30 and do the exercises without holding the remote. I'm very excited to see how I progress over the next couple of months!

Wii Keep Going!
