Wii gamers
When you put down your exercise on MFP after playing the wii, what do you put it under? I just did boxing, so would I put it under actual boxing? 'Cause what I did was put it under boxing/punching bag, but I don't know if that would be right. Worked up quite a sweat in only ten minutes. haha.
