Wii Can Do It

Did you hear all the hullabaloo about the new game consoles that became available in the last couple of months of 2006? One of those gaming consoles as labeled Wii (pronounced ‘we’). The Nintendo Wii utilizes wireless controllers that take advantage of all the bobbing about most game players indulge in when they are playing a video game. In fact, it’s always been something of a joke in our household that leaning hard right when you are playing a driving game doesn’t really help your game playing. We just do it because our bodies know that is the motion we’re … Continue reading →

Do You Have 30 Minutes? Why Not Try The Firm Cardio Sculpt Blaster?

I will admit I love to workout. I love how it makes me feel afterwards and I love how much better I sleep at night, even though I work out in the morning. I just love exercising. I will admit however, that I don’t love working out for long periods of time. I try to limit my workouts to less than an hour. I have two small children that I must tend to, so working out any longer than an hour, then trying to get ready for the day is almost impossible if my workout runs any longer than hour. … Continue reading →

Technology’s Fitness Boom

I read a short story once when I was in junior high. It talked about the rapid takeover of technology and how eventually everything would be done via technology from ordering our food to paying our bills to shopping and yes, even to walking the dog.

Well, that future is here now and our technology boom is reflected in all the great gadgets, gizmos and downloadable available for you to boost your own fitness levels. Let’s … Continue reading →
