'Kay, so I took my rump down to the Best Buy, slapped down my $50 gift card, shelled out the last $49.97 for this one, and guess what????? I didn't work out for 2 days because of work and stuff, but FINALLY, threw this sucker into the Wii, and doggone it, if it was not the BOMB!!! Now, mind you, I had worked out with the Biggest Loser Challenge for about a half-an-hour first, but this thing rocks. If only Best Buy had a BOGO sale, I would have saved a bit of cash.
Anyway, this thing is really great. I do suffer from a moderate level of lower back pain, but the warm-up exercise really loosens it up. By the time my sweat level was WAAAAAYYYYY up, I was really motivated to keep it up.
So, now we move on to the Biggest Loser Challenge Wii, which is also really groovy. Here's me and Bob rockin' the Tap Punches with Knee Lifts. . . Anyway, as usual, I my "short attention span" needs more than one workout, so I bounce back and forth between these two Wii workouts. I do, however, throw in the occasional Biggest Loser DVD workout, or head out of my front door for a 40 minute Nordic Walking stint.
Anyways, that's it for now. . . Head to Best Buy, Amazon.com, or my house for a Wii workout (or a nice Wild Blueberry Coffee - no cream or sugar), at your leisure.

Sooooo, after my trip out to the park the other day, and my wicked sneeze attack, I realized that there is something in that park that I am violently allergic to, so I won't be repeating that any time soon. I did, however, still want to get some outside exercise, so I remembered my Nordic Walking Sticks (they had been patiently waiting for me hanging up by the back door). I also remembered the fact that my own neighborhood can be a real challenge and some great fun to walk. Fairfax has lots of long sidewalks, pretty steep hills, nice flat bits, and the best part, it's right outside of my door.
So, once again, I cranked up the tunes, and Bill and I took to the sidewalks. Well, lemmie tell ya, after about 40 minutes, I had really worked up a sweat, the endorphins had kicked in major, and best of all, I BURNED OVER 700 CALORIES!!!!! Woo hoo, y'all.
I have a goal of making that trek every other day for the rest of the week, we'll see how it goes.
Here's a little playlist to help mootiv8 you:
1. Stereo Love - Edward Maya & Alicia
2. I Feel Like - Kaskade
3. Five Fathoms - Everything but the Girl
4. Blame It (New Devices Remix) - Jamie Foxx
5. Hard (Jump Smokers Remix) - Rihanna
6. Closer - Ne-Yo
7. 3AM Eternal - The KLF
8. I Remember - Kaskade & Deadmou5
It's a great mix with great tempos to keep you moving up (and down) those hills!
Enjoy
