Wii Boxing for Fitness [2025] Unusual But Highly Fun & Practical Home Fitness Ideas

So…I am seperated from my wife now, but prior that – I didn’t really have time, well I did, but didn’t have the energy to go the gym.

With 2 young kids and my wife and I both working full time, I always felt like I was playing catch-up and behind the “power curve”.

Although I’ve managed to wreck my marriage somehow, I am quite proud of staying in pretty good shape, especially for my age.

Here’s some ideas that might help if you are bored or not sure how to start exercise at home –

Wii Boxing Games

1 set Training

there’s a fair bit of research showing that doing just 1 set of a resistance exercise, like chin ups, and bench press, is as effective in terms of strength gains, or very nearly as effective as doing 3 sets.

So, if you have time to do 1 set if press ups, or 1 set of chin ups each day, you have time to strength train.

I personally leave resistance bands around the house. I do random sets of band and bodyweight exercises whenever I get a minute. I feel like I don’t need an extensive warm up before using resistance bands, as opposed to heavy weights.

Accumulated 1 Set Training – Resistance Bands & Bodyweight Exercises

in theory, doing 1 set of exercise every now and then throughout the day, might be superior to doing sets all together, in terms of strength gains, but not muscle mass – due to metabolic stress being lower.

Tabata Intervals

If you can spare 4 minutes a day, you have enough time to improve cardiovascular health.

you can use bodyweight squats- do as many as you can for 20 seconds, rest for 10 seconds, repeat 8 times.

Ankle & Wrist Weights – Doing Daily Tasks & Playing with the Kids

1kg wrist weights is enough in my experience. And or a weighted vest of around 5kg.

Remember a little is exponetially better than no exercise! Doing 12 minutes of exercise for example, utilising tabata intervals, has been shown to improve markers of health and fitness.

Whilst 12 minutes won’t burn lots of calories, you’ll be healthier, feel better and you can easily progress and cope with other forms of exercise once you’re able to do a full Tabata intervals (which lasts 4 minutes).
