A week into my EA Sports Active workout, and I’m already feeling a little bit more energetic. It doesn’t look like I’ve lost any flab yet, but the point of this workout (for me, anyway) is to gain energy and build muscle. In hindsight, I probably shouldn’t have eaten that bag of chips on the way home today…
A few hours after making Mario Tennis: Power Tour my bitch again, I went back to EA Sports Active to make up for the day I forgot to train because I was missing my leg strap. I’ll have to remind myself to never again work out without turning the room temperature down to…room temperature. I never knew the human body could produce so much perspiration in a fifteen-minute period…
I’m four days into my EA Sports Active workout, and I’m already starting to feel more energetic than before. Technically, I was supposed to rest yesterday, but I had to show the game off to a few of my sister’s friends, so I wound up doing short baseball and boxing drills. Today, for the second workout day in a row, I beat the game’s expectations and outpaced their calorie burning. I think I may give the 30-Day workout thing again another try in September and November (with harder intensities), and hopefully, I won’t burn myself out on them.
I’m unofficially six pounds away from being labeled as a “fat bastard” now. Okay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration. I’m probably a few pounds over my optimal weight, but I wont’ know for sure until I get my fitness check-up. In the meantime, I’m going to see if this EA Sports Active program will work for me. I would have gone with Wii Fit, but that’s $30 more expensive, and it doesn’t exactly fit in my book bag. Maybe I’ll order it for my Christmas present or something.
I thought something was off when I first took a swing at the Wii Sports Fitness Test (very similar to Brain Age’s daily tests) and found out that my Fitness Age was 68. Either I’d let myself get hilariously out of shape since I started writing fanfiction again, or I jumped right into it having no idea how the games work. Turns out it was the former, as I’d played some of the mini-games before at a friend’s house. It had been so long since I played them that I’d forgotten how to do it properly. In the 3 weeks or so since I got my console, I’ve been able to whittle my average down to a more respectable 33. I don’t think it would make much of a difference if I did some actual working out, but it would certainly make me feel better.
