Hurts So Good
To all the naysayers who think the Wii Fit is a fun toy but not a "real" workout, I say this:
You been doin' it wrong.
LOL! I racked up 45 minutes yesterday doing yoga and strength - 45 sweaty, muscle-trembling minutes. And I am totally feeling it today. Shoulders, triceps, glutes....I love this feeling! Why do I forget that?
Today is cardio - I am for sure going to ride my horse for at least 30 minutes this evening, but I'm also going to do some Wii aerobics if DS takes his nap before I have to leave for work. Now, I do concede that the Wii is probably not enough of a workout for you Hard-Core Cardio Bunnies, but it is a pretty fun way to supplement a more rigorous cardio session.
And for someone like ME, who is distinctly not a HCCB (that's Hard Core Cardio Bunny, if you weren't paying attention 
), 10 minutes of Advanced Step is plenty to leave me red-faced and panting by the end. (probably more from embarrassment at tripping over my own feet so often than from exertion, but still...)
