30-Day Challenge: Day 4
So I took 2-days off from exercising.
My mother flew in on Saturday and we spent the day out. Sunday… I was just lazy. Cadence isn’t necessarily taking to my mother quickly, so Chris and I have been trying to keep her calm.
I turn on my Wii today, though, only to find that my Friday’s exercise didn’t save. WHAAAAT?! So it says that Friday was a rest day when it definitely wasn’t. Argh! Oh well. Moving on.
I realized I never really explained a few key things about EA Active.
When you turn on the game to get started, you are shown what workouts you are going to do today and the expected amount of calories you will burn.
You have the option of not doing an exercise if you do not want to do it. Simply uncheck the box.
I did all of today’s exercises with no problem, though I don’t think I will ever really like the lunges, inline skating or the side-to-side jumps. My thighs hurt!! In a good way I guess.
At the end of your workout, they tell you how many calories you ACTUALLY burned. (I burned 81.7 today) From there you can choose to do the workout over again if you want. (Of course, I don’t!) I usually do some individual workouts like tennis forehand/backhand, bump/set in volleyball or catching/throwing a baseball- just for good measure… okay, more for fun really.
So total, today. I burned 94.9 (counting the extra activities I did). I’m glad that I did it, though, I don’t want to fall off of the wagon like I did last time. So any and all encouragement are greatly appreciated! 
Keep it up. If you’re anything like me the excuses start to build when you miss a day. I have like 50 good reasons why I haven’t been able to work out in a month and a half. Don’t be me. I suck!
Ahhh man looks like I need to get a wii, sound like a fun way to excercise and lose a couple of pounds while at it. (wink wink xmas gift)
Great post this will really help me.
