In my weight loss journey I found out that I much prefer working out at home instead of signing up for classes. It seemed that the classes always were scheduled while I was at work or never seemed to match up with my beginners skill level. Thankfully my best friend Xbox, and his step brother kinect, provided me with a couple of options.
For over a year I was using a game called active 2. It had me jumping, running, squatting, lunging, basically anything you could think of all in quick succession. I loved doing all the workouts, but hated the pain afterwards. Thankfully after a couple of weeks I wasn't limping around like I had broken knee caps. The bad part came when EA decided to deactivate the servers for the game. You could still use it, but keeping track of your progress online was not an option.
So last week I ventured back out to Gamestop and found something else on the shelves that would be essentially the same. I was looking at various games that seemed to fit the same mold as active 2 and the lady who worked there told me about Zumba. She said it was basically the same thing, but waaay more fun. I tried it out the next morning and found myself getting a little frustrated because I didn't know the moves and because when I was doing them right the game said I wasn't. For my second session today I decided I didn't give a rat about my performance, and that all I really needed to keep in mind was that I just needed to keep moving around.
Now it's time to go eat some breakfast!
