Hi, I am one of those users that is a little frustrated with this game but I really want it to work for me so I am sticking to it. One of my frustrations is on the track and here are those times:
1) Basic running - the only time it senses me as not being too slow is if I really pound the floor with my feet and run more with my feet behind me. That's tough to do when you're trying to stay in place but I make it work. Sometimes though I would like to take it easy on my knees and do more of a quick up/down with my feet directly under me. I end up treading more lightly on the floor and, even though my thigh (nunchuk) and controller are moving quickly, it tells me I am "Too Slow".
2) Kicking behind me exercise - Sorry I can't remember the proper name for this exercise but it's when you are supposed to walk (sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly) and kick your foot behind you towards your glutes. Once again today on the fast mode of this exercise it told me I was Too Slow. I was on perfect timing with my avatar and it gave me the Too Slow message the entire time on the track; I even tried to go faster than my avatar but it didn't change things.
I have read a couple of replies (that are in response to messages from other frustrated users) about thigh-band placement and nunchuk tweaks in that band and I will try that to see if it helps. If you think that's my issue, please advise.
If you think I am doing something else wrong, please advise.
I really am wanting this game to work for me - but I don't like it being a battle every time I play it.
Thanks!!|||Most of the running issues are with the nunchuk and it's placement. You have to move enough for the nunchuk to detect it too. The wireless nunchuk's are terribly finicky to get to work for a lot of the exercises.|||Here is an easy test: Make a custom workout with only one workout : squats, doesn't matter what intensity.
put the leg-strap on, put in the nunchuk and do a squat, if your legs are almost parallel to the floor and the bar on the left side isn't registering at the bottom of the squat bar, rotate your leg strap so the nunchuk moves more towards the outside of your thigh, JUST A LITTLE BIT. If you squat half-way and it shows your squat on the bar as all the way down, shimmy that leg strap so the nunchuk is moving more to the front of your leg. You will find the sweet spot where it should be registering. The nunchuk has the least sensitive motion sensors in it, so adjustment is key. If you look at a cross section of your leg as a clock and the top of your knee is 12, and the back of your knee as 6, I usually have the nunchuck somewhere between 1 and 2, closer to 1 though, and as high as it can go on my thigh. Of course, my thigh might be shaped differently than yours, you may have to put it at 11 o'clock or 2 o'clock to get it to register properly. You will see a difference when you do the rollerblading also
From what I've read on these forums, do NOT use a wireless nunchuk
1. The running exercises seem to rely only on the nunchuk for speed and not so much whether you are swinging the remote while you run (it may have a bearing on how many calories burned though), also, I tend to do a high-stepping run to get more out of the workout, your knees may not like that though.
2. Kick-ups are what you are referring to, your avatar isn't setting the pace, it is showing you your pace, FAST kick-ups should be done at a run, not a fast walk, and yes, that is very hard to do for 2 laps (or even 1) when you first start out, but they only get easier, and I find that to be a good cardio workout.
Good luck
