Sat - Tues Update

Well its been awhile, I decided on Friday not to use the Wii Fit. My back right calf was feeling very stretched, and it was hurting for me to walk around a bit. I left off exercising given I was going surfing on Saturday.

Saturday rolled around, hit the waves at Westport. I still suck, but at least I tried a smaller board, this time a 7.2 foot board. Was gnarly. Actually got up into a tube for 1 sec, but couldnt get out of the wash.

Anyways, so I came back and booted the Wii Fit up on Monday. Did all the exercises (except running more later). I have unlocked alot of reps for the jacknife (30 reps), the plank (90 secs), and most of the other fitness based ones. I have to admit after I go through them they are still wearing me down.

My BMI and Weight dropped signifigantly, almost 2 lbs for the weekend after the workout on Monday. Seems odd, because I did eat alot on Saturday and Sunday. But alot of it was mainly yougurt and low cal stuff.

So today I once again did all the exercises, this time leaving off the balance stuff (ill do that every 2 days, its pretty lame stuff and i dont feel like spending alot of time on it). I am also going to substitute the jogging (you shouldnt do this unless you replace it with something), for riding my bike around the park. I live right next to a awesome park, why run inside?

Yesterday and Today

Yesterday I started out doing all of the items twice, including the yoga. It took me so long to get through everything, today I decided only 1 of each item. However because I have unlocked all the yoga poses, thats harder said then done.

I have also made the new rule (notice they change..) that I do the hardest rep available. Tommorow thats 20 pushups, ouch. At 10 I can say I have felt some burn.

Finally yesterday I went to Bucca De Beppo (Italian restaurant that serves HUGE portions) and ate about 1/4 of the 2 person speghetti and meatballs. Low and behold today I had put on .7 lbs. Ah well, the goal isnt weight loss, its balance and muscle at this point.

I am trying to come up with what I should do as far as a aerobic exercise. I live right next to the lake and I like riding my bike on nice days. However it takes time and doing the Wii Fitness + the bike would be like 2hrs. So I don't know which one, if I do both or just right bike some days. Not sure.

Plus weekends probably cant exercise, ill have work to do ;)

Day 2 - Sore as a Mutha

Well today I decided I would do some of the new rep amounts available to me. Yesterday I concentrated on using the smallest amount available twice. Today I am going to do the largest amount once.

After 1 hour I was able to accomplish 100% of the workouts, a few I did twice (especially yoga. since my goal is to be able to surf better, yoga is probably one of the best things I can do on this game).

After working out I checked my weight. Yesterday my diet after working out consisted of:

Tuna Steak
Asperagus and Mushrooms Sauted
Miso Soup
Yougurt
Grapes
Nutella
Muffin

Est Caloric Content 1400.

Today I plan on eating some eggs for lunch and Salmon for dinner. Of course always wild fish and cooked with the least amount of Caloric content in mind.

Wii Fit Day One

So the title is gods honest truth, I have never exercised in a formal workout routine ever in my life. Outside of Gym class, I can say I never practiced working out nor did I go through any trainer or set routine of how to work out. Granted I ride my bike occasionaly (once a month) and try to walk around places, exercise was never my forte.
