EFC: Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all EFC Moms! I hope you had a great day! I just got done working out on my new Wii exercise game I got for Mother's Day, the Gold's Gym: Cardio Workout. And boy did I get a great workout, I'm hot and sore on my first day of lessons! This game is a boxing workout and also has a few balance board exercises, but I think the Wii Fit balance board exercises pretty much cover everything this one does. As I'm typing this I'm watching my husband work out to my Mother's Day gift! I think this will be great to add to my Wii exercise regimen. I hope over time I can get some of the other Wii exercise "games"! For those of you who have a Wii and enjoy boxing for exercise, I'd have to say I recommend this workout. (You should see my husband, he is sweating up a storm!)

I showed Ken your post last night so we picked it up. Can't wait to try it out! I was hoping they'd put out more cardio workouts for the Wii Fit.

It definitely gives a great work out. I did it two days in a row last week, and I'm so sore! I'm using that as the cardio part of my workout and filling in with yoga other things from Fit.

Why We're Doing This

A group of us came together with this strange idea that exercise is a good thing and we all needed to do it. This came about during the holidays, when the food is fatening and the motivation to exercise is weak. It was decided if we were going to make exercise a weekly habit, that four times each week is a minimum in order to lose or maintain a desired weight. And the prime motivator was, of course, coffee! We hope to keep our particpants going with support and caffine through the word of the blog. We invite others to join us in our bizare but noble cause!

How It Works

If anyone doesn't make four workouts in a week,that person(s) owes one coffee card ($3.50) up to the monthly"kitty". For each week any of us makes all four work-outs will get a "ticket". After four weeks, if there is any coffee cards in the kitty, we will have a drawing. So if you work out 4 days a week for 4 weeks you would have 4 chances to win ALL the coffee cards. If you make it only 3 weeks, you would have 3 chances to win and so on. There may or may not be any coffee cards in the "Kitty" to be won, but it sure would be a great"prize" if there were multiple coffee cards. This way we can have as many members in our "Exercise For Coffee" club or"EFC". Shannon will write our names on tickets, then we report in to each other on the blog. An impartial person will pick the winning ticket. Who ever owes coffeecards can then send them to the winner each month. We will exchange email and mailing address off the blog for confidentiality reasons.
