Interesting

I worked out Monday this week. That's it. And now I'm down 1.5 lbs. I really wish I understood how our bodies work. I've been thinking about buying that new Jillian Michaels book about mastering your metabolism. I've bought so many "diet" books over the years though that I probably won't. Maybe I'll get it in eBook form. Ooh, for my friends who have the Wii Fit (and for those who don't, I highly recommend it!) there is a new website you should visit. It's www.wiifitroutine.com. It has a workout generator on there that you can use to target a certain muscle area, whichever length of time, and you can tell it to include or exclude the running exercises. Pretty brilliant if you ask me. I had a routine that I liked but I felt like I wasn't getting as much out of the program as I could be getting. Here's the sample 30 minute one I jotted down yesterday:

Bridge (Yoga)
Single Leg Twist (Strength, I think)
Rhythmic Boxing (Aerobic)
Super Hula Hoop 6 minutes (Aerobic)
Rhythmic Boxing x 2 12 minutes (Aerobic)
Balance Game of your choice
Tricep Extension (Strength)
Sideways Leg Lift (Strength)

I put in that weight loss was my goal, 30 minutes, no running exercises, and target legs. Pretty neat. So I think I'll try to generate 5 different ones that I can rotate between so I don't get bored. Also considering buying ankle weights and weighted gloves. I love the boxing!
