I plan to do 5 custom workouts this week and will post them here after I do them to give us more to work with. But if we get enough other people making them, we don't have to use all mine... Oh and mine are created using EA Active 2 for the Wii (in case it makes a difference)
June 5th
"Soccer with Boxing"
Shoulder rotations
Windmills
Heel lifts
Knee tucks
Sprint long
Boxing combo 1
Soccer heading
Mountain biking
Soccer juggling
Boxing combo 2
Soccer goalkeeper
Mountainboarding
Figure 4s
Heel drops
Leg up
Sideways ankle pulls
Time: 25:29
Setting: Hard
^^^^Just finished this one.^^^^^ That was a great workout. A lot of jumping and squating. I put on 1.5 lb AW and 2 lb WW for the Soccer Heading, Mountain Biking and Boarding. I am happy you put the Mountainboarding a few away from the Biking. On hard this line up was a nice challenge.
I burned 182 cals in just under 25 mins (in game time). My total elapsed time was 31 mins.
Looking forward to tomorrows workout.

Thats my next workout. Looks good! Thanks for posting that embclark! ...
I will post the Power Pyramid. (named for the formation the dumbells will take on the floor) Its mostly upper body and abs, using dumbells.or even just putting your thumbs through the holes in the weightplates. Mostly upper body - pecs, shoulders, biceps, and forearms with abs to break it up. You lay on your back for most of it. (keep the Wiimote close so it don't pause the game) For dumbell weights I would start low 5-10 lbs each. and adjust. There are ALOT of reps.but they go fast so it's not to long. (I will make it 25-30 in game minutes) I think you WILL feel it the next day. I suggest easy for less reps the first time. I use the easy setting and add more weight. but, It's up to you. The calories burned may show low, but we know better!
If your muscles are sore the next day (pecs, shoulders), rest assured you are burning calories while you sleep! 0 -

I'm looking forward to this! Can you get it up here by Friday morning so it can be this weeks 5th workout?0 -
I just did Soccer with Boxing! That was a nice sweat! Somehow I put in Soccer fast kickups instead of soccer juggling! lol... They registered fine though. Also when I did the Soccer goalkeeper, I got the Elusive "Brick Wall" Trophy! Yay!
I Will post the Power Pyramid workout tomorrow!0 -

Here's my suggestion.
It's upper body and core. No cardio in here so perhaps it could be sandwiched between a couple of more active workouts?

Shoulder rotations
Knee tucks
Rainbow squats
Hip circles
==================
Hammer curls with narrow shoulders
Flutter kicks
Squats with biceps curls
Leg raises
Lateral shoulder raises
Crunch with punches
Shoulder presses
Overhead triceps extensions
Bent arm side planks
Push ups
Reverse crunches
Triceps kickbacks
Hammer curls
Squats with shoulder presses
=======================
Arm across and pulls
Figure 4's
Leg over
Sideways ankle pulls
Time: 26:40
Setting: Hard
I did this one today! I loved how different it was from everything else I do! And it was a lot like a Jillian michaels workout where she has you standing and then on the mat and back and forth a lot!
EA calorie burn: 113
HRM calorie burn: 2630 -

Yes, your arms do know they've done some exercise! I tried to replicate a free workout I used to do before I discovered technology and this group. I wanted to give muscle groups a rest before they were back in action again. But it's cumulative as you discovered! Glad you liked it though.0 -

"Lower Body with Core"

Outrun short
Foot fires
Hip bridges

That one was intense from beginning to end. The Mountain Climbers (was wearing 2.5lbs AW) got the heart rate going, and it stayed pumping throughout. The Short Outrun and Foot fire combo had me needing to break for water. I will be doing this one again soon. Great all around.
This one beat 187 cals out of me in 27 min.0 -

I did the girly version of this....
5 pound weights
Easy setting
But I was scared! And it was 8pm and I am usually a morning workout person!
But I enjoyed it and think that I will move up to medium when I do it again. I am thinking this could be a good sat or sun workout for me. I try not to do too much on the weekends to give myself a break, but this was short and I loved that the rest of my body was just relaxing laying on the floor in between reps!
EA calories burned: 88
HRM calories burned: 1530 -

Thats awesome! I like the fact that it isolates your upper body too... It's nice to lay down through it. I thought you guys might get bored with the amount of reps! lol. I used to do this workout when I had my bench, before EA, but I love how the trainer keeps you going! Thanks, glad you liked it. For me next is Skavilles workout! (then yours) It's cool being summer now and more outside activity, we can add these short workouts to our schedule, and stay active! Thanks everyone for posting workouts, and Jac for a brilliant idea!0 -
So gentlemen... What do we do now? Do we wait a week to see if others will join in? Each make up a few? Drop it?
I had fun this week and would live to keep it up, but don't want to be a pain in the *kitten* since there seems to be only 4 of us...0 -

I say we keep going. I am definitly going to make some additional workouts. This week was great. I thought these workouts were worthy of one of the 9 week workouts. Your lower body with core was just amazing. 42 weeks ago I did not think I would have been able to keep up, heck I didn't even know what some of these exercise were 42 weeks ago LOL. But now I say bring it on. Let the challenges continue.
Will post a workout tomorrow for next week.0 -

Will definitly work this one again. Need to work up to 10 pounds eventually.

Stixx... you are the "Power Pyramid" Master using 20 lbs.
Did Stixx's workout yesterday and today I really feel it across my chest! It's quite deceptive as you don't tend to notice it too much when you are doing the actual routine.
This is also a great opportunity to give your room ceilings a good inspection and note what needs attention!0 -
Haha, that's a good one Ska.... Yeah It's repetitious but it really does target that group well. Jac the 10 and 2 oclock really kills me, I always keep my dumbells at 20lbs bc I dislike moving plates around, although it's not enough for bicep curls and too much for lateral raises. 10 is good too. You want shaky arms at the end and to feel it the next day! Are we posting new routines this week? I stll have lower body with abs to do. Hmmmm New routines.... thinking, thinking... 0
