    Exercise 3 completed! Taking my rest day tomorrow [Tuesday]. I have done some kind of exercise of another for 12 days straight and I need a day off. :ohwell: Hopfully with a day off I'll be fresh as a daisy and ready to get back to it on Wednesday. :flowerforyou:

    After I was done with the 30 minute workout I had not yet burned 150 calories and I don't like finishing anything under 150 so I created my own short workout program and did some cardio running and boxing to get myself up and over that number. :happy:

    Per my HRM:
    30 Day Challenge - EA Sports Active (Wii)
    Workout 3 / Medium
    Time: 44:22
    Calories Burned: 162
    Average Heart Rate: 112
    Maximum Heart Rate: 150

    Hey guys,
    I completed day 4 yesterday. I didn't get to it until late because I still had family at my house. Today is my rest day. Keep feeling the burn!

    Great job KTbell, it's difficult with family around. I always wait until the hubby leaves at the weekend *L*

    I pushed my rest day to tomorrow so did a workout on day 6.
    21.39 mins. = 158.6 cals
    plus
    10.03 mins = 74.5 cals


    Are the mini goals on the programme helping you all feel more motivated? Keep up the good work!

    Called into work sick today.. still not feeling well. :sick:

    Decided to do some light housework to see if it would make me feel better to get up and moving about. I wore my HRM during it... and burned 340 calories in an hour and 43 minutes of vacuuming, dusting, changing the bed sheets, folding clothes, changing the cat litter, doing the dishes and wiping down the shower.

    Was surprised with my effort but now I'm off to take a shower and back to bed. :yawn:

    I am using my 2nd rest day this week from Sports Active but will be back into Workout #4 tomorrow! :happy:

    Workout #4 complete! I decided to do it on 'Easy' today and my heart rate stayed up almost the entire time! I burned almost as many calories in 28 minutes that I did the other day with something like 44 minutes. Major cardio day!

    I am working a 12-8 shift today so knew the only way to get it in was to do it before work. Glad I pushed myself to complete it! :happy:

    How is everybody else doing? :flowerforyou:

    Workout #5 complete! Did it right when I got home from work... unfortunately my shower after the workout was not too fun. The water kept going out and turning cold. UGH!!!! :grumble:

    Found today pretty easy actually... Was very much geared toward strength and not so much Cardio so made my own custom workout and did it after.

    Hope everybody has a great Friday night!!

    Workout #6 complete! :happy: Again I think those fast kick up are going to be the death of me.. just can't seem to get a fast enough pace going for it to tell me I am doing it perfect.. it keeps saying too slow. Hopefully practice will make perfect.

    As of now I think tomorrow will be a rest day. Per the calendar on the game I am scheduled to complete the Challenge on July 31th so I am right on track. YAY! :smile:

    Have a good weekend everybody. :flowerforyou:

    Today was my day off, great job to those that completed a workout today! :happy:

    I have noticed that in the last two weeks the calories burned on my HRM have been much lower than that that is listed on the EA Sports Active itself. However in my first week with the HRM it used to be showing very similar numbers.

    Well today is my weigh in day and I went to update my HRM Watch as I do every Sunday with my new weight. Last week I was 230 this week 228. Well when I got into the settings I saw it had me listed as 130!! I have no idea how long it has had me listed in the 100's. I checked with my account with Polar and I had my starting weight correct so it has not been like this the entire time.

    I wonder if this error is why I have noticed a decline in calories burned over the last two weeks? I guess I'll only know after working out tomorrow. Glad I saw this though! lol :noway:
