Day 18 activity

WII FIT DAY 18 ACTIVITY

My left ankle has been sore all day, so I'm going to lay off the aerobics today and give it a day to rest.

Today was my first time doing the Jackknife Challenge. The instructor quit after 10 reps. I expect the next one to be about 15-20 reps.

I did the Plank Challenge for the second time today. Yesterday the instructor quit after 20 seconds, but today she quit after 40 seconds. I'm glad too. I don't know how much longer I could hold it, especially after just finishing a Jackknife round.

At this point, I am just trying as many new things as possible before I start forming a routine. When you complete some exercies, Wii Fit sometimes recommends a corresponding activity of a different type that compliments the exercise you just finished. For example, today it paired up the Single-Leg Twist strength exercise with the Half-Moon yoga exercise as a set. It gives you a visual reward for completing these matching sets of exercies.

Since I really want to concentrate on losing my gut, I have a feeling that the Jackknife is going to be a part of my routine several days a week.

Some exercises are grayed out and have to be unlocked by just playing/exercising and earning points. It will be interesting to see what other exercises are available. There's a few yoga poses available that I haven't tried yet.

I am going to dump this data into a spreadsheet later this week to create progress charts to make it easier to monitor my progress.
