Weee..I mean Wii…

So there it is.The Wii Fit board. Have I been using it?

Why yes I have!

Sage likes to help me though and so the stupid weight thing pops up and says I’ve gained a few pounds. I look down and notice Sage is just leaning a little bit on it. {sigh}. I usually put her down for her morning nap (yes, she does still take her morning nap. Wouldn’t you if you could?!?) and then I workout. If you are really trying to use this thing and not cheat {ahem} it will give you a pretty decent workout. I mean it has for me anyways.

I always start with the yoga. Seriously. Some of those things are  nuts. Who puts their body in those positions on a normal basis? The deep breathing is super easy but it gets me ready. I also do the side stretch thing (I can’t remember it’s “name”). That one does hurt. The warrior is good. I have done a few more but I will talk about them at another date.

Next up, I do the strength training. HOLY CRAP I HATE LUNGES! Why do I hate them? They cause excruciating pain for yours truly. If I was in better shape maybe they wouldn’t hurt so bad but for now…WOWZA. THE PAIN THE PAIN!! I actually upped my reps today and I thought I was going to cry before I finished. I also did an arm exercise and a few more things—again we will talk about those at later date.

Following strength training, I always do the aerobics. The hula is my favorite…mainly because I kick butt at it. I also try to beat my best score every time I do it. If you ever want a cramp from laughing all you have to do is watch Paul do this one. I hate the running. I feel silly just running in place and I always hope that no one can see me hopping around my living room like a dingbat. I have finally got the step thing figured out and am pretty good at it. I also unlocked one more exercise that I am really liking.

Last I do the balance games. Why? Because they really are just games but it is more of a cool down for me. Stormy has the highest score in a lot of these. She loves them. I don’t like the soccer ball one. Mainly because I always get hit in the face with shoes and panda heads. I like the ski jump one though. I have the highest score in it.

Are my workouts working?

I feel better after I do them. I have sore muscles from doing exercises I haven’t done in awhile. It makes me shower and get dressed every day rather than just hanging in my pjs. So I am going to have to answer this with a yes they are working.

What kind of workouts do you do?
