Hurts so good

I've got a new workout that's kicking my butt! Move over Wii Fit, it's all about The Biggest Loser on Xbox Kinect.

After playing soccer, track & field and boxing on Kinect Sports the other day and working up a pretty good sweat, I had it in my mind that The Biggest Loser game would be just as fun. Well, I wouldn't exactly call it "fun," because it got pretty intense. And it's not a game, it's a full-on personal training session. Since it tracks my entire body while I'm doing the exercises, it would tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to improve, like "lunge lower" and "kick higher." It wasn't what I was expecting—it was much better.



I think I got in the best workout I've had since starting this project. I was beat after 20 minutes, and now I'm pretty sore—but the really good kind of sore where you know you worked hard and you earned those calories burned!

That's it for now. No recipe roundup today because I'm working up something really good. Like, something you'd pay hundreds of dollars to have.  Get excited...

  2. I love that game, and I'd definitely buy it if I didn't have to also purchase an X-Box.

  4. Keep it up! I still have the Wii Fit and the Dance Dance Revolution for back up, but I've been walking on an incline down at our community gym. I'd love to try the X-box game, sounds fun. Not in my budget though. I'm supposed to try tennis lessons at a fitness center soon, but they keep pushing the classes later bc of the weather. Boo! I guess I'll just be that much stronger when tennis actually does start!
