Wii Walk It Out Finished!
I got Wii Walk It Out in February, 2010. It took a few times of playing it to get the hang of it, but once I did, it became addictive. It was so easy to play for an hour at a time. You put the nunchuck in your pocket (acts as the pedometer) and you hold the remote. As you walk around, marching/walking to the beat of the music, you get "points" for every step you hit on the beat. (The game subtracts points for missing the beat, but you turn this off as it is too frustrating to lose points.) As you collect your points, you point the remote at these "capsules." The island (Rythm Island) is very bland at first. Just an arena basically. You click on the capsules and "buy" stuff. 40 points for a deciduous tree, 300 points for an apartment building, 250 points for Burger Champ, 225 points for boutique, etc. There is one area that is a shopping district, 1 area with (eventually) flowers and cows and pastures and Look Out Mountain, the arena area, a water fountain area and park, etc. And you also buy songs and zodiac signs. If you play at 8am, the lighting is like 8am in real life! If you play at 10pm, it is night time with stars and any zodiac signs you have collected! The lights are lit in the houses and shops. You also collect rainbows and times on the clock. This way, if you are playing at 7pm and want to see daylight, if you have collected 8am, you change the time on the clock and play like it is 8am! So anyway, I played on "Easy" setting with no penalties for missed steps. I finally finished it last night! Woo Hoo!
I burned 7572.9 calories. I walked 81.4 miles. I took 318,300 steps
I figure I will put it aside for a month or so and then do it again.

Wow Yvette that sounds like a ton of fun! I want, I want, I want! Brian has promised a Wii after he gets a few paychecks...and he should get a discount on the whole thing...so Wii Walk It Out and Wii Fit Plus are definitely going to be on the list!
Great job on all those calories burned and those miles and steps walked! WOOHOO Go Yvette Go!
I hope Kona is feeling better today!

congratulations on finishing the game. Woooohooooo yeaaaaaaaaaaah
Hey next time you do it will you change the setting ? :)
Sounds like you had a grand time getting your steps in and burning calories.
Good for you. But didn\'t you really burn more than those calories you mentioned as you did other exercises before the walk it out?
Keep up the great job you are doing with exercise.
It sounds like a lot of fun plus getting the benefit of it .
I thought I could put this aside for a month or so. You know, I miss it already and itchy to do round 2! Sheesh! I will probably keep the settings the same. I was reading on Facebook Walk It Out! page: some of these people are CRAZY! Playing it like 4 hrs a day and doing 7-8 miles a day! Wow! If I had that kind of time, I would do the harder settings and let it take longer. The problem is that My max time is like an hour just because of work, dog, dinner, son, husband, etc. So some of the more expensive stuff on \"easy\" is still 300 chips for an apartment building and 500 chips for flower field.. So playing for 30-60 minutes, just limits the amount of chips you can earn (based on your step count for that time period.) And you can\'t carry chips over. You have to use them or lose them type of thing. So I will most likely keep the settings on easy. It is the walking and buying and building and constant interaction and gratification that gets addictive! Seeing how fast you can build it. I got the game Mid February and just finished it, so a tad over 5 months.
The calories and steps and miles are strictly what the game told me I did based on my height and stride length. With my pedometer I do 70-80 miles per month. So the above stats are only those in the game.
Wow, I definitely have to get this. Sounds great. Especially with a Saskatchewan winter coming up on me faster than ever!
Wow! That\'s amazing! You almost have me sold on getting a Wii!!! :) Keep at it, it sounds like you really enjoy this!
