Wii Fit Day 8 - Part 2

Total Workout Time: 52 minutes

Ok, here we go again....

Day 8, uncharted territory in my exercise history...

Onward!

Aerobics:

Made a new personal best on the hoola hoop: 247 spins.

The Jog: Big mistake...i figured "oh i did the long track yesterday, lets try the Island Lap! Yeah...i nearly died.

I don't even know how i finished it. Time to stick to the long track for a while, the Island Lap is intense. It also took 10 minutes to finish! Thats a LOT of jogging, especially for me :)

Another new personal best in Super Hoola Hoop too: 752 spins "Calorie Incinerator!" My abs hurt really bad LOL. Thats a lot of spinning.

Still frustrated with the Basic and Advanced Step. Its sometimes hard to get the Wii Balance Board to register your steps. Also, if you miss a step, it stops the workout, which is really a bummer if you are in a groove.

Either way, Advanced Step was another personal best. 400 points.

I'm enjoying Rhythm Boxing more and more. I did the 6 minute mode and man is it tough, not only aerobically, but tough getting the moves right.

On to Strength Training:

Funnily enough, the muscles in the arch of my foot hurt today. Must be from trying to balance.

The Push Up and Side Plank is still troubling me. I struggle through it. I'll get it though. It was a new personal best though.

With the added time of Aerobics, i can feel myself getting more tired on the strength training than normal.

About half way through strength training and I was already at 43 minutes of exercise.

I'm still having trouble getting my COB into the right place on the rowing squats. I got it a few times, but nearly fell off the back of the balance board. I dunno.

Have I mentioned that i HATE planks? Ok just want to make that clear. I unlocked the 1 minute session and laughed. yeah right.

I really pushed myself on the Arm and Leg Lifts. Felt good. Stretched my back out, and got some good burn feeling in my lower back muscles and legs.

Unlocked the final two Yoga Positions today, the Spinal Twist, and the Shoulder Stand.

I'm going to skip the Shoulder Stand for now, because I'm sure that it will end in a catastrophe ;).

Felt nice and stretched out after the Yoga. Good decision to end each workout here. Nice easy breathing, and nice easy stretches without a lot of muscle building.

I'm honestly thinking that Nintendo knocked the ball out of the park, not only with the Nintendo Wii, but also with the Nintendo Wii Fit. The Wii is outselling all the other next-gen hardware, and the Wii Fit is getting games up and moving. But here's the kicker: not only is the Wii Fit getting people active, but people are buying it.

See you all tomorrow!
