Day three on the Wii Fit

It's Day Three on the Wii Fit, and I've finally figured out how to do pushups on this thing when you're taller than the average. Basically, grab the sides, rather than place your hands flat on it. That way, when you go lower, your hands are below your shoulders, rather than inside of them (which is basically the same thing as doing triangle pushups, which I can't do). Once I figured that out, the pushup/plank exercise became a lot easier.

I also added in my bike riding to the fitness log (20 minutes to school and back, 40 minutes total, which the Wii Fit considers 'heavy exercise' and doubles), so I think I'm unlocking things pretty quickly. By this point, I've already unlocked most of the exercises (certainly more than half) and have most of the strength exercises on later reps (30 for jackknife, 10 for pushup, 20 for the single leg twist, etc).

Total time spent: 34 minutes. Weight: up a bit to 202 (I had to enter in a reason why I got fatter by 1.1 pounds; definitely a shame tactic there-- there's no brushing it off as 'daily fluctuation'), and Wii Fit age is down to 37.
