Walk It Out. 30 minutes 1 mi. Total: 866.5 mi. From Lorien: 8.5 mi. Still following Haldir through the rolling woodlands.

Got a copy of the game Walk It Out, as recommended by ... er, one of you. Tried it out this morning -- so far it's not the workout of Wii Fit, but that's partly because you're supposed to walk without taking your foot completely off the balance board, so I don't get a full step. But it's definitely something else to do when I'm bored of Wii Fit. :D

You may want to try using the nunchuk instead -- you can stick it in a pocket or hold onto it and move about freely. Because it registers just about any big motion, you can do other exercises (lunges, bicep curls with a band, etc.) for "steps" to break up the monotony.

Thanks!

Toby's now marching around the living room with the nunchuk in his pocket, the mute on the television and his iPhone playing a podcast at him, because he doesn't like any of the music that's open right now. XD

Despite the fact that we've opened a bunch of songs, it seems to only want to play the same 5 things over and over...I've taken to setting WIO to stop deducting points for missed steps, turning down the volume, and putting on a CD.

I plan on seeing how to construct my own playlist once I've opened enough songs, and only figured out that I could re-set it not to deduct the points after Toby did it. But I think the mute button and podcasts or audiobooks might be the eventual solution - I've got too many of both stacked up and not enough time in the day to listen to them.
