32 wii sports - holding out the bat experiment

Dear Readers,

I was expecting some tennis games after saying no to the Nunchuck but I didn't get any! Instead I got bowling, baseball and golfing on the green.

Again, I played very loosely and not too seriously. I got one strike in bowling and at one point the tutorial came up after the ball slipped from my Mii's hand. Whoops. At one point during the baseball I just held out the bat to see if that would work as a swing. Didn't do so well but it was fun to experiment. Might try that again sometime. With golfing I didn't pay too much attention to the meter until I started making big mistakes, so I went back to paying attention to it, faring better.

My fitness age was 28.

I don't feel as ache-y as I was feeling last time. 

31 wii sports - feeling strained, not doing much

Dear Readers,

I'm all aches. The season has changed and so have my chores, so I'm doing things I'm not used to doing. I won't be doing as many sessions of this but I'll come back to it.

For now, I got all tennis games. Didn't want to bother with any boxing games. In the targets things went kind of slow but that's ok. In the orange squares and returning I played loosely and not too seriously, missing quite a few times but that's ok too.

My fitness age came to be in the late 20s.

30 wii sports - very small triangle

Dear Readers,

I got all tennis games again. Not complaining as I didn't want to do boxing and I didn't want to do golf either, so I was lucky there.

I was kinda slow at the games though. Kept missing with the targets and I kept hitting the pole of the orange squares, so I missed a few.

My fitness age climbed into the 40s and it was a very small triangle today! Yeesh!

29 wii sports - all tennis with game boy music

Dear Readers,

I got all tennis games again today and a decent fitness age. To mix things up, I put on the Game Boy Tennis music during the first event.

I was delighted when the two follow up events were also tennis events!

28 wii sports - punching both hands

Dear Readers,

My fitness age was in the early 20s today, which was nice. I decided to go for the Nunchuck today and got both boxing events. I got golfing on the green too.

Everything went well, even the dreaded boxing with trainer. I knew I did well in that because at one point the trainer held up both hands at once. That never happened before so I guess that only happens when you do well.

27 wii sports - all tennis games!

Dear Readers,

Feeling like I hit some kind of jackpot with all tennis related events today. Tennis targets, tennis orange squares and returning tennis balls.

I did well in all of them. The triangle wasn't full but it was really well balanced with all three attributes. Age was lower than it was previously.

Also of note was the fact that I got a Nunchuck prompt and said no.

26 wii sports - first bowling strike in a while

Dear Readers,

Today my fitness age was 26. I didn't bother with the Nunchuck this time so no boxing.

I got baseball practice, bowling and golfing on the green.

I did pretty ok in all of them, nothing out of the ordinary, apart from the bowling, where I got my first strike in a very long time! Hooray!

25 wii sports - fitness age tease!

Dear Readers,

Today I got a fitness age result of 20, but it turned out to be tease! That number only sat there a couple of moments until it was knocked off by a higher number! Cruel joke! It was funny though.

I got tennis with orange squares, tennis targets and boxing bag.

Tennis with orange squares was ok, missed a few. Tennis with targets went really well and I was very fast in hitting them. Boxing bag went fine too.

The speed category was my strongest this time. The session did go pretty quickly, so maybe the game was trying to teach me a lesson in balance?

24 wii sports - hitting many baseballs in a row

Dear Readers,

Today my fitness age was 28, one year older. I got baseball swing practice, golfing on the green and boxing with trainer.

I did very well on the baseball swing and I got a decent amount of balls in a row. Did fairly well on the golfing too. I boxed the trainer 5 times though, which hurt my results somewhat.

My balance stat was really good but the other stats were weaker in an equal way.

23 wii sports - a few bowling misses

Dear Readers,

I got a fitness age of 27. The events I got were bowling, tennis with orange squares and boxing bag.

Bowling didn't go well at all! I was trying to see if I could throw better but often ended up throwing worse. Still fun though.

I missed a few targets with tennis and I was returning some very slow balls.

Did well enough in boxing bag. Missed it a few times which was funny.

The triangle was fairly small this time but the age was ok.

22 wii sports - big triangle today

Dear Readers,

Today I got my fitness age down to 24! Hooray! I got this even with the bad boxing game!

I got boxing with trainer, returning tennis balls and golfing on the green.

I hit the trainer 4 times but hit 20 targets. I returned most of the tennis balls. The balls spin fast when they come fast. I got a lot of "nice approach" affirmations from the golfing part, which was cool.

I got excellent balance and stamina with slightly lower speed but all stats were great. It was a big triangle today.

21 wii sports - two tennis games and fastball

Dear Readers,

Today my fitness age was 31.

I got batting practice and tennis targets and tennis with orange squares.

Speed wasn't so hot. None of my statistics were but I thought I did okay in all of them.

Towards the end of the batting practice there's the odd fast ball pitch! Something I've noticed.

20 wii sports - both boxing events!

Dear Readers,

Today my fitness age was 24. Very good, considering I got both boxing games today.

I went very slowly with the boxing with trainer, trying not to hit him. Between punches I slowly manoeuvred into position, placing my fists at a safe height so I could hit the targets. I only hit him a couple of times. It took a while though.

Then there was the golfing on the green, which went well.

Finally, there was the boxing with bag. That went well too. Also, I had to remove and reattach the Nunchuck a couple of times since the events were laid out in this order.

My highest stat was stamina.

19 wii sports - first bowling strike in a while

Dear Readers,

Today I lowered the fitness age again. It stayed in the mid 20s.

I got tennis with orange squares, batting practice and bowling.

One big thing of note was that I got a strike in bowling this time. Didn't get one of those in ages!

My strongest trait was balance, but I was pretty good in other aspects too.

18 wii sports - try not to punch the trainer challenge

Dear Readers,

Today my fitness age was slightly higher but stayed in 20s. I opted for the Nunchuck again.

I got boxing with trainer, golfing to the green, and returning tennis balls.

With the dreaded boxing with trainer, I opted to go very slowly and tried to be as accurate as possible. I managed to come out of it with some points. It felt like I had to punch off to the side at 45 degree angles at times.

Golfing went well and the tennis one went really well. I should try for a high score again.

17 wii sports - playing while listening to livestream

Dear Readers,

Today my Fitness age stayed in the 20s and I listened to someone livestreaming while I played. I opted out of the Nunchuck and got tennis with orange squares, baseball bat swinging and bowling.

I did very well with the tennis one, okay on bowling and okay-ish on baseball. I couldn't really watch the livestream with tennis or baseball, but I could take my time with the bowling.

16 wii sports - 20 year reduction in fitness age

Dear Readers,

I got a much improved fitness score of 26 today, a huge difference from a score in the 40s. I got golfing on the green, returning tennis balls and tennis targets.

My balance stat looked perfect. I returned nearly all the balls in the tennis one. I should try the main ball return game. I'm much better at it now.

15 wii sports - playing on the wii u game pad screen only

Dear Readers,

Today I got a fitness age of 46! The highest age yet! Yes, the boxing with trainer was involved, but something else was too...

Today I played using the Wii U Game Pad's screen only. I thought why not try it out.

Aside from the boxing, I got tennis with orange squares and batting practice. I stood at a bit of distance from the Game Pad on its stand. It's cool that the Game Pad itself has a Wii Remote sensor bar built into it.

It was a little awkward and I would need practice. Also, it's very hard to see tennis balls and baseballs coming at you on such a small screen! I missed quite a few swings.

Between all of this, my fitness age came out at 46. I did badly in all three categories and ended up with a very small triangle. Oops! May do this again from a more comfortable position sometime.

14 wii sports - speedy punch bag smashing

Dear Readers,

I got my fitness age back down in the lower 20s! I got a boxing game but it was the punch bag one. I punched many bags. I also got the golfing on the green & bowling.

Along with the good age, I got a very big triangle, acing the three categories, but with slightly lower speed.

13 wii sports - playing with tv on mute

Dear Readers,

Got my fitness age down in lower 30s. Woo!

Of course, having no boxing this time was a big help.

This time I had Tennis targets, tennis with orange box and baseball swinging.

I did something different this time: I muted the volume on the TV and just played with the sounds coming out of the Wii Remote. Quite a lot of nice sounds coming out of it!
