EA SPORTS Active's 30 Day Challenge - Day 3...ish...

If you don’t count yesterday, today would be Day 3 of the 30 Day Challenge. Why? Because technically I didn’t do a 30 Day Workout yesterday.

Today’s workout was kind of a false advertisement. The Trainer Audio said at today’s prompt that we would be focusing on Upper Body stuff while incorporating the Balance Board. I thought, ”Gee, I wish I knew that yesterday so I could have done that then.” Turns out I was wrong. There were some track stuff and lunges thrown in there to give the work out some balance.

The Balance Board workouts were Tennis—which I hate—and cardio dancing—which for some reason isn’t as fun. Again, I had sensor issues and my first Wii Accident since getting the system. During the tennis exercise, I hit the armrest of a chair that was closer to me than I though. I guess the next time I do those exercises I need to step farther back. Either way, the Balance Board didn’t register my lunges properly nor did it register my steps on and off the balance board during cardio dance.

Speaking of which, what the hell kind of dance move is “The Shopping Cart?” I looked at the on-screen people to see how to do it for the short time you are suppose to do it, and it didn’t look like any dance move I’ve seen before. And I’ve seen a lot of cheesy dance moves come out of this cardio dance exercise on YouTube.

Because I worked out yesterday during a break day, the journal is still encouraging me to take some time off. My next break is this Sunday, so I may actually listen to it. After all, my thighs are still about ready to explode.

Oh, and now weight change since yesterday. I'm still hovering over 159 lbs., which Wii Fit is calling Overweight for my height and age.
