My bf tried working out with me today, he is considerably bigger so he only worked out for 40 minutes but got quite a bit more out of the exercises, he worked up a sweat much faster then me and burned 318 calories which was more then I burned, even though I worked out for 25 minutes longer.
His favorite ones were the soccer heading, running, and boxing.
He liked the activities that were actually games better, though we didn't put a straight workout routine together for him this time.
We ended up having a soccer/boxing war sadly he beat me in both, but I came pretty close in the boxing.
Hopefully I will start showing more weight loss soon, though I do feel more defined

It said I gained a little weight, but I think its just because my muscles are a little swollen from being worked out, and I have been drinking TONS of water.
I unlocked 2 challenges today, the jackknife challenge and the push up challenge. I haven't tried either yet because I dont like jackknifes that much and dont find they workout my core as much as bicycle crunches and weighted crunches. I also just haven't mastered the pushup yet, when I do push ups with the wii in my strength/yoga circuits I do the easy kind, i.e on my knees with my ankles crossed.
Today was the perfect amount of strength, and I really liked the exercises I picked, it got me sweating quite a bit.
When I did the free step, I ignored the rhythmic sound and stepped faster sometimes using hand weights. I did almost 3000 steps today.
Suki wouldn't let me weigh her today, and for most of my exercise watched me from under the table, yawning and rolling around as if I was crazy and tiring her out by just looking at me.
I will take that as a good sign :)

The Second Morning
Once again my calves really hurt, I am starting to wonder if I was doing a move wrong, or just really really correctly. Today I think I am going to have to just stick to stepping and maybe some planks, crunches and pushups.
Still feels good to know that its working, I definitely feet better :)
For breakfast I had 2 scrambled eggs and some salsa, because I read somewhere that eggs keep you fuller longer, and help whittle your waist.

I didn't stick to alternating arms and legs because there really aren't that many arm exercises that just work out arms. I really enjoyed my work out today. My favorite strength move is definitely the arm and leg lift , the lunges, and the rowing squat ( which I do with hand weights)
One thing I wish the wii fit plus included was a really good warm up and cool down with just stretches and maybe some jumping jacks to follow along with. I know you can obviously do this yourself, but not everyone will realize they should and may get injured.
Once again, I love the free step!
Let you know how I feel tomorrow.

Introductions to my little project.
Hi, I'm Chelsea. I am a 21 year old makeup artist from Canada, who has a secret love for video games, and has very little time for (or is it very little drive for?) working out.
My boyfriend recently got me a wii fit plus for Christmas, as just prior to the holiday season I had decided that I was finally serious about losing weight. And had been struggling along with workout videos like Jillian Micheal's 30 day challenge and trying to stay motivated.
Of course as Christmas and new years came about, I stopped my new healthy food diet and began eating copious amounts of chocolate, and working out fell by the wayside. Luckily for me healthy eating isn't the hard part, so I have easily gotten right back on that diet. I love vegetables....
After reading a couple different peoples blogs, and experiences with their wii fit, and how they used it every day and lost weight and felt better, I have decided to do it as well.
I will work out a minimum of 5 days a week, for those 5 days I will work out for an hour.
I will record my findings, my workouts, how I am feeling and reacting to the game, how I feel the next morning, how much my cat weighs even!
I am going to start my challenge at 4 weeks 5 days a week including a healthier diet, and see where that gets me.
Hopefully because its a video game, i will stay motivated and find something that really works for me.
