EA Sports Active Looks Like a Winner

EA Sports Active looks like a winner. Out of 78 votes it has a review rate of 4 1/2 out of 5. That is pretty good. I prefer to see what the reviews are going to before I actually buy it.
I actually used Wii Fit yesterday. Wii Fit informed me that it had been 17 days since I had used Wii
Fit. I have been using Gold's Gym Cardio Workout and riding my bike
I wrote an article about Breyers Low Fat Ice Cream 110 calories per 1/2 cup. This is kinda nice. I can have a little ice cream without worrying about chalking up the calories. Heap on lots of fruit and you have a very nice dessert.

My Shoulders Are Sore!

My shoulders are killing me this morning. I used The Gold's Gym Cardio for an hour yesterday. I punched the sandbag for 15 minutes, my shoulders were so tired by the time I finished. I will probably do it again in a couple of days. It was a good workout. My favorite exercises with the Gold's Gym Cardio are the punching of the sandbag and the road work exercises. You can set a timer for these exercises for as long as you need. So, yesterday I punched the sandbag for 15 minutes and I did road work for 10 minutes, as long as my other exercises. Gold's Gym Cardio seems to have replaced Wii Fit for my exercising. I still get a good workout with Active Life: Outdoor challenge.
The only critism I have of Gold's Gym is that the game does not keep an accumulative total for the calories that you burn during your exercises. You have to add them up as you go along to get a total for your calories burned during your exercises.

The calories of a glass of Slim-fast Optima Ready To Drink, Chocolate Royale, you can purchase these in 11-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24). I love these drinks.

So, if you are hardpressed to lose weight, and find it hard to get in a decent breakfast or lunch, try Slim-fast Optima Ready To Drink, Chocolate Royale,)

I have completed my first Cardio Workout Video. I hate to say this but it seems to have replaced Wii Fit as my main workout program. I am also using the exercise ball more frequently. I watch a lot of CSI programs, and this is a great time to do some exercising. Anyways, I digress, here is my first Gold's Gym Cardio Workout video. I have enough material for three more videos.

The Gold's Gym Cardio, has Now Become My Favorite Wii Workout Game

Gold's Gym Cardio Workout has now become my favorite Nintendo Wii exergaming workout. It has beat out Wii Fit and Active Life Outdoor Challenge as my favorite workout exercising games, but I use it more often than these two games.
I have also taken up bike riding again. You can check my Biking to Work and Fitness Blog for some insight into what biking can do for you in commuting to work and for fitness. The bike is important for us older folks for exercising and it can even be used for commuting and doing many chores around in the community.

The Struggles of Losing Weight

It is so much easier to put on weight, than take it off. It always amazes me how, even when I look at food I seem to put on a pound or two. Actually, now that the spring is here I am outside more often. I am currently setting up a workshop, so that should get me out of the house more often. It is so nice to get outside for a change.

Ok, I have shoot a couple of videos for Gold's Gym Cardio Workout and I should have these up shortly within the next couple of days. It should be helpful. I hope to shoot a couple of videos tomorrow with our Polaroid i1035 10 Megapixel Digital Camera with 3-inch LCD Display. This is an excellent little camera. I am beginning to really appreciate these small little digital cameras - I now have four of them! I don't throw them away, they are all good for something.

Gold's Gym Cardio - One Man's Story

Until, I do my video for Gold's Gym Cardio, here is an excellent video, that will tell you what a great exercising game Gold's Gym Cardio Workout. This game has virtually replaced Wii Sports - Boxing in my exercise routine. I do not believe that Wii Sports - Boxing was recording all my punches, while Gold's Gym Cardio Workout seems more than capable of recording all the punches. I have used this game 3 times and my shoulders and arms were sore the next day, and I always worked up a real sweat playing this game.

Gold's Gym Cardio Workout is a Great Workout

I finally got the Gold's Gym Cardio Workout it sure beats the heck out of Wii Sports Boxing. I lke the fact that you can use two wii remotes. It is also able to pick up all of the punches via the sensor. I have had a couple of good workouts with the game.

I really like Gold's Gym Cardio Workout and I would suggest that if you are using Wii Sports Boxing for your work out, get a hold of Gold's Gym Cardio Workout. It will also give you the approxiamate number of calories you have burned, once you get past the basic workout. This is so nice to know.

I wrote four articles about riding a bicycle to work. I will give you the addresses as soon as they are published.

Wii Fit Started the Exercising. Now We have a Stepper

It took almost a year, but somebody has finally come up with a Wii Riiser Aerobic Step for the Wii Fit Balance Board This attachment should be coming out on April 25th. I will probably be grabbing the Wii Riiser Aerobic Step for the Wii Fit Balance Board to help with the aerobics.
I have put in my order for the Gold's Gym Cardio Workout. The reviews for this are all positive. I still believe that boxing is one of the best exercises. So this should be a lot of fun. I will do the Wii Fit jogging and then 20 to 30 minutes of Gold's Gym Cardio Workout to finish off my exercise.



Below is a Wii Fit Video I put out about 7 months ago.

Gold's Gym Cardio Workout

So, I wanted to wait a couple of days until some people had time to rate Gold's Gym Cardio Workout before I purchased it. On average it had a rating of 4/5 which I think is good enough rating to buy. It has some good boxing exercises in Gold's Gym Cardio Workout. This will replace Wii Sports, which provided me with a good workout, but seemed to have problems with "real boxing", just like it had problems with "real golfing". Don King's Boxing seems to be a little bit of a let down so far. It is amazing that Don King Boxing had so much time to get their act in gear, but it seems to be a disappointment.


I am still waiting for EA Sports Active I am hoping that this game turns out to be as good as it is hyped up to be. For the most part Electronic Arts spends a good amount of time on their games, and they are generally of excellent quality. EA Sports Active should prove to be worth the wait.

I was dumb enough to lend out my Active Life Outdoor Challenge, her family is having so much fun with it, they are forgetting to give it back to me. Everybody that uses Active Life Outdoor Challenge
ends up buying it. It is a lot of fun for the kids and good exercise for the adults.

5 Hour Energy Drink. Great Just Before Workouts

5-hour Energy drink Is not something you down for enjoyment; it is purely an intense energy boost to help you get through those Wii workouts..
I like to take my 5 hour Energy Drink
about 15 to 20 minutes before my work-out. I find that I get the best results that way. I will also
With reference to the drink's flavor, it is adequate, but definitely not flavorful. Course, as expressed originally, this Is not something you devour for pleasure. It is more comparable to a good shot in the arm. The 5-hour energy drink is sold in a small, 2 ounce. bottle that resembles a jigger. It is sufficient to get your energy reserves back to one hundred percent The deficiency of flavor for the 5-hour Energy drink is probably casused by the fact that there is only 15 calories, 0 net carbohydrates, and 0 grams of sugar. Few calories and no sugar usually equalizes to a drink devoid of taste.
Generally, the 5-hour Energy drink Is not for an individual anticipating a tasteful caffeinated drink. All the same,the 5-hour Energy drink is the perfect beverage for an individual whor the person who is searching for an additional boost just before an exercise routine or a runner who is embarking on a long jog. I use the 5-hour energy drink before my Wii Workouts just do not take it too many times during the week. You may find yourself becoming immune to it.

I Have Been Doing My Fitness on Schedule.

I have been working out regularily. I have not missed any work out days. I am looking forward to the spring. I will be can not wait till I get my bicycle. I will be working that into the routine, because I love being outdoors.
I have found that Wii Sports has a training aspect to their game. I have been boxing and then I will switch over to this boxing training to finish off my workout. It is a very nice way to finish off my boxing routine. I will do this for about 45 minutes - it works up a very nice sweat!

I have been continuing with my Slim-fast Optima Ready To Drink, French Vanilla, 11-Ounce Cans . I still have to weigh myself. I have not been very good at weighing myself on a regular basis.

This week I will be working on Wii Fit routine with the strength routines. I will start out with three reps per exercise, just to see how long it takes me to complete the routines. I want to see if I will be able to do them all within 45 minutes.

I Will Be Trying Slim Fast To Help Lose Weight

I will be using Slim-fast Optima Ready To Drink, French Vanilla, 11-Ounce Cans to help with my weight loss, and to see what I actually think about Slim-fast Optima Ready To Drink, French Vanilla. It is basically a meal substitute. I also use the Slim-Fast Optima Meal Bar, Chocolate Cookie Dough, 1.97-Ounce Bars for snacks.

The Slim-fast Optima Ready To Drink, French Vanilla really help to curb your appetite, which has plagued me during diets. You always feel hungry, but with the Slim Fast there might be brief periods of hunger, it seems to curb the hunger. I have only been using it for a couple of days right now, so I will give you a better Idea later.

There will be lots of exercise games coming out for the Nintendo Wii over the next couple of months. I am really looking forward to it.

I have decided to up my exercise routine over the next few months. I want to do seven days a week, because I would like to possibly run marathons this year.

People are Serious about Losing Weight!

Wii Fit sold over 770,000 units in January 2009. No other video game even came close to this number. Why so many sales in one month? I believe that people want to get fit. People want to look and feel good. Even my sister picked up a Nintendo Wii Console with Wii Fit Bundle. She has been overweight most of her life, but her body is starting to make some weird sounds, she thought it was time to lose a little weight.

Was I little sick for the last three days. Spent most of my time in bed. I got up for short periods, just to let people in the house that I was still in the land of the living.

I have also been looking at some energy drinks. I work most of my time at the computer, but I feel a little tired as the night creeps up on me. I took some 5-Hour Energy drink. Boy, did I feel exhilarated. Great stuff

So, today was the first workout in three days. I managed to finish it with no mishap.

I am working on a routine for the Wii Fit Strength section. I used to weight lift and I am very familiar with sets. I want to work on a seven day routine for the just Wii Fit. Most of the comments that I have read about Wii Fit is what kind of exercise rountine to follow. You can not use Wii Fit for circuit training, ie for boxing, it takes too long to go from one exercise to the other it breaks up the aerobics routine. You would have to do 3 to 6 sets of each exercise with the least amount of break in between sets, say 30 to 60 seconds between set. That tires out the muscles fast, as well as the person. It is also the best way to burn the calories.

I Am Back. Sorry, I Have Been So Busy to Blog

I have only lost a day or two in exercising. We still have lots of snow out there, it is so hard to get outside and enjoy the outdoor life. I am still continuing my days of exercise, with the Nintendo Wii. Active Life Outdoor Challenge is actually giving me the tougher workout. I like using it at the end of my three day workout, I feel like I deserve the day off. Within the week, I want to put up videos about my workout routine.

I am actually starting to look at my diet. I have been hit by news about my sister's illness,and now my father is sick. We do not live for ever, and I have always believed that out diet is important. I have even gone on a 140 day juice fast, where I ran 2 miles every other day. Our diet can make our health or it can break it. My sister's and father's health have shown me how volunerable we are if we do not take care of our health, and this includes our diet.

So, watch out for my videos over the next few weeks.

Lots of Exercising and Burning Calories.

I used the Wii Fit 5-in-1 Bundle, Active Life Outdoor Challenge and Wii Sports - Boxing. I also spent some time on Shaun White Snowboarding Road Trip, I love playing this game, especially with the balance board. I wish that snowboarding was around when I was a kid, I would have loved it. Actually, I am getting jealous because the kids have all the fun.

It is so funny, that I was never into playing games, until the Nintendo Wii, now I put in 1 1/2 to 2 hours a day, playing video games. It has cut into my TV watching, but what the heck, it is a lot more fun than watching TV. It is also nice to be able to do some exercising and play some wholesome sports games instead of watching TV. If you are interested in checking out some of my favorite sports games go to Top Ten Sports Games for the Nintendo Wii.

Remember if you are a work at home mom or dad, the exercise chair is a feasible alternative to the office chair. Check it out at my website at Throw away the Office Chair. Check it out. I have never felt so much better since I changed over to the exercise ball.

Wii Fit Was Main Form of Exercise

January 12th was a day off. January 13 and 14th I used Wii Fit for 50 minutes to run. January 15th I had one good work out with Wii Sports Boxing. Took less of a break between fights. I also tried to throw more punches during the bouts. It was one vigourous workout. We had a large chicken dinner. I use Spring Valley - Papaya Enzyme, 180 Chewable Tablets when I eat a larger meal than ordinary, or if I eat beef, pork or processed meats. This aids in digestion. When I used to do weight lifting many years ago, I would use it when I ate my large meals. While I have quit the weight lifting, I still use the Spring Valley - Papaya Enzyme, 180 Chewable Tablets when I have a larger meal than ordinary. I have a weak spot for fish and fowl. I eat too much. So, if you are looking for a good natural digestive aid try Spring Valley - Papaya Enzyme, 180 Chewable Tablets
Even though today is my day off, I will probably play Shaun White Snowboarding. It is a great game. I know I will have a lot of fun, and it will help me burn a few calories at the same time.

Lots of Running with Active Life' Outdoor Challenge and Wii Fit.

On January 9th I used Active Life Outdoor Challenge and did the endurance exercise. Worked up a good sweat. I will have to weigh myself soon just to see how I am doing. I am getting awesome sleeps though. I wake up refreshed and ready to go.

On Jaunuary 10th was a day off. It was a nice relaxing day.
January 11th was a 40 minute jog with Wii Fit, and 20 minutes of shoveling snow. I should have an excellent sleep tonight. I am enjoying this blog. Every time I want to take a day off, I feel that someone is watching me. So, I get up and do something with the Wii.

I hope to find my little camera and put up a video soon about how I feel.

I am not really counting calories. We will see on January 15th whether I will have to make some sort of adjustment to my diet.

Exercising and Burning Calories from January 4th to January 8th

I have been too busy shoveling snow to contribute to this diet. On January 4th I did the endurance exercises with Active Life Outdoor Challenge. This was an excellent work out. I am actually starting to enjoy this more than Wii Fit with Hardware and Bag Bundle for Nintendo Wii. The Wii Fit balance board is worth it for other other games.

On January 5th I used Wii Sports Boxing . I did my 15 rounds and was totally and utterly exhausted.

On January 6th I took the day off.

On January 7th I used the Wii Fit with Hardware and Bag Bundle for Nintendo Wii and did my 50 minutes of jogging on the spot. You shouldn't jog on the balls of your feet, you should jog with your feet flat.

On January 8th I used Wii Sports Boxing . I was a little ticked because I won two fights and I lost points on my professional ranking with Wii Sports. But then I told myself, that I was using Wii Sports for exercising, and that it was ok.
