'Ya Gotta Get Some Inspiration!

'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.

Ya Gotta Get Yer Rear in Gear!

So yeah, it's been a while, but here we are with just 90 days to go until the cruise, and Christine is talking trash, and I really need to get on the proverbial stick.

Now let's talk about yesterday, my experience with the Biggest Loser Wii, and my soreness today, shall we?

Yesterday, I dusted off the Wii Balance Board and the controller, and signed up for the Biggest Loser 4 Week Fitness Program. Since I have already, pretty much mastered the Beginner cycle, I decided to take on the Intermediate Program. . . Now, why did they decide to make your first workout of the program a CHALLENGER, workout????? (I ask 'ya??). Well, me being me, I had to keep up, rocking the mountain climbers, the high knee jump rope, the high knee jump rope double time, not to mention the hard core jumping jacks and push-ups!!! Soooo, that brings me to today.


Needless to say, I am as sore as I can be! I did manage to rock 30 minutes on the spin bike, but I am still in pain. Well, enough complaining, because tomorrow, I have another Biggest Loser Workout scheduled.

Anyway, I do feel really good for getting my massive rear in gear these past couple of days, but get back to me on Tuesday, and we'll talk.

Ya Gotta Rock the Wii!


Has it really been over a week? Anyways, I finally got back in control, mootiv8-ed my rumpus to a proper work out, and rocked my EA Sports active! I was a little concerned, because I'm not in the same shape I was a few months ago when I was working out almost every day. Well, let me tell you, muscle memory is an incredible thing. Not only could I hold my squat for the full 40 seconds, but by the end of the workout, I did NOT die!



So that brings me to this post's mootiv8tion; rock what you got! Biggest Loser Workout, EA Sports Active, or the very effective, Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2010. We all have a Wii, so I strongly encourage all of you to get it out, dust it off, replace the remote batteries, and get to workin'! I personally am shooting for 3 workouts this week (30 minutes each), which I will bump up to 45 next week, and then add a day from there.




We have a scant 5 months to go before the cruise of 2011, so it is time to get serious. If you have a spin bike, rock it! If you have a Fluidity, rock it! If you have an elliptical, rock that too! (sorry but I just finished watching the season finale of Losing it With Jillian Michaels, so I'm feeling a little aggressive).

Ciao for niao,

P.S.: Don't forget to hydrate - lots of water y'all!
