Day 29: EA Sports Active 30 Day Challenge
Calories: 75.7
Duration: 15’30”
Summary: Hrm… I have apparently finished this challenge but only 29 days? Confused. I’m sure I have recorded every day and I even counted on the calendar. Oh well. In any case, weight is about the same as it usually is. But I have been advised by the parental unit that I appear to have lost weight, so I am guessing it is tone that she is seeing. Wuhoo!
I quite like this program. I feel I am actually doing stuff and that’s it’s actually having an effect. And the fact it keeps track means I’m less inclined to slack off because if I do slack off, it knows.
So… cold/cough is finally starting to clear up, and that means I’m likely to survive moderate now. Restarting the challenge tomorrow at the next calorie burn level up. But I’m not going to post about it any more because you guys are probably sick of it. I might whine from time to time though.
If anyone is keen on home exercise and has a Wii or is inclined to buy a Wii, I do recommend this. But if you don’t already want/have a balance board, don’t buy it just for this ‘game’. The balance board exercises feel like an afterthought, and aren’t incorporated into every workout anyway.
Also, if you’re thinking you’ll be building up nice abs by using this, it ain’t gonna happen. Even if you hold your tummy in for all the exercises like you’re supposed to, you probably won’t notice much in the way of hawt summer abs, bit flatter perhaps but I don’t think you’ll get the definition. Just do a few core muscle exercises (core, pilates, yoga, sit-ups, pick your poison) on top of this and that might do it.
And that’s my 2c as someone who isn’t a fitness trainer/health professional, just someone who is getting more exercise than she used to, and enjoying the process.
