Wii Fit Suffers the Same Fate As Most Exercise Equipments

The Wii Fit has sold millions of copies in Japan and elsewhere, but the question has been: how long would people stay with it? Longer than a typical piece of exercise equipment? After all, the Wii fit exercise and workout game itself is more interactive and (hopefully) engaging than a stationary bicycle, right?

Have you ever bought a piece of home exercise equipment or the Wii Fit itself? If you have, you've probably also experienced the typical result: after a brief spurt of usage, the equipment ended up in the garage, or at least unused. It's often the fate of gym memberships as well.

Shun Shin Splints This Summer

Warmer days open the doors for exercising outside, which also means running on paved and hard surfaces. The pounding and impact often gives way to a common runner's plague: medial tibia stress syndrome, or "shin splints."

Studies show that shin splints occur in up to 13 percent of all runners, 60 percent of which are caused by over-training and improper conditioning. Shin splints can arise from a multitude of hidden causes, including: over pronation of the foot, swollen tendons, overused muscles, stress fractures, flat arches.

Getting Started

Cardio or Weights?
You'll burn calories doing both kinds of exercise, but if you want to lose 50lbs or more, you should spend most of your exercise time doing aerobics, or cardiovascular exercises. Cardiovascular training done at a moderate level is a great fat burner, and you should gradually increase your intensity over time. The most important thing is to elevate your core body temperature, which you'll know is happening when you begin to sweat. As time goes on, it will take you longer to start sweating, and this is when it's time to increase your intensity. For example, if you are walking for cardio, you can increase the intensity by walking a bit faster or walking up hill. Ideally, you'll want to do some weight training along with your cardio, because this will improve your body composition by increasing your muscle mass, which helps you burn more calories throughout the day.
