Wii fit age

[Viking Dad]

I've decided to try and be a bit more healthy - nothing serious, just eat a bit better, exercise more regularly, drink a bit less. Nothing to turn me into superman - I lead far too stressful a life for that

So, last night I got SmallestViking to show me how to work the Wii Fit doofer. Full of trepidation I got on and did the balance test and height weight stuff and did my first body test.

Now I'm 39 right now (one of the reasons I decided to try and look after myself a littl more ) so you can imagine my surpise to be told my Wii fit age.........






























31!
with "Ideal" BMI!

Back on the beer and chips wagon I go

I'm off to buy one RIGHT now !!!!!......

Must be something to do with old fartz and balance, my wife was made up when she received a Wii age of 39. Unfortunately she was less impressed when I received a stunning 35 (reverse the number and subtract 1 at next birthday). Not sure if the neighbours will ever forget the sight of me running down the driveway in my socks like I had just scored for UTD (strange what the Blackbush and a childs game can do to a normally sane person). It was 10 in the evening mind you.

I'm the same age and managed to get 35 years.

But not the Ideal BMI so no chips or beer 'till Friday

I'm 39, the BMI was ok but the Wii fit age was 49

(I was drunk at the time though )

I doubt that would help Brickers - hope you are keeping well matey

Don't get complacent. The Wii Fit age can change by the minute.

Mine has been down as low as 31 and as high as 48, I'm much nearer the upper figure. Also the BMI thing is a laugh, I know I am overweight but it claims my ideal weight is 11 1/2 stone! When I was mega fit I was over 14 1/2 stone. Never going to happen this side of a gastric band or amputations.

Good on you blokes! The last BMI thingie' I tried, I was returned as 47! Realtime 68! Skinny as a rake, just on the borderline of underweight for my height, so it said!: Since then I have had one eye op. and am up for heart catheterisation in a couple of weeks time! Keep eating the pie and chips, but do a little on the cable exercise machine I do, sometimes.:

35 and at the upper limit of ideal BMI.

Try sourcing outside of the UK. I'll see if any online suppliers still ship from France...


Edit: wow, looks like none available here either.

Glad I got mine last year then.

A three letter word springs to mind when I think of Wii fit...

I think the B.M.I thing is a bit mad, I have a slim build and it told me I was overweight I do lift weights and probably have above average muscle mass, so that’s probably why, but you would have to be a twig to be in the middle the ideal section.

[Squadrone Rosso]

I got 33 which surprised me a lot as I'm 38.

Also, it's 4 years since I've excercised, I've got a knackered back, take loads of drugs and I'm obese (BMI = 36)

It seems a good bit of kit though and will be great for me post surgery

[zulu ferret]

I must check these out Simon, I think the grandkids may have it? Anyway I've gotta' go for a while, bit more Sainbury's packhorse work for her Ladyship! Back Later.:

We got one for JimJr for Christmas and hoped it would help kick start us into doing some exercise again. I've done nothing since I packed in cricket two years ago and I am definitely overweight now.

I have to say it seems pretty good fun and has lots of different types of exercises to play at. I tried some and the trainer would say how fantastic my balance is, then I'd try something different and my balance was useless.

Anyway, as we are all being honest my body test said I was overweight (agreed) - about halfway between ideal and obese (probably a 4 stone spread so no arguing from me) and my Wii age came out twice at 53 (which is real +2) and once at 58

I won't read too much into the BMI thing but it is a good indicator of progress and I've edged it down by >0.5 since NYE.

My Big Man Index is above average

[PaulR]

Wii do that just to make you think they are great and really know their stuff.

Then you buy more stuff from them.

[Viking Dad]

Just had my pizza. Sausage sandwich for lunch.

Inhalf an hour or so I shall find out if it has made a difference
