Wii Fit Gets Serious About Exercise

January 29th, 2010 admin

When the Wii Fit, the Nintendo video game, told me my ‘fit age’ was 41 – a decade older than I actually am – I took it personally. After all, I run 32km a week and weight train twice a week. As I stood on its wireless balance board, Wii Fit gauged my BMI and had me perform stability tests. Though I was slightly underweight, my balance scores were apparently pathetic enough to age me. So I tackled Wii’s fitness games for a week. Here’s what I learned.

Balance

The Routine

Four initial exercises; five advanced available.

Best For

Improving posture and overall body alignment.

Pros

Heading soccer balls, walking on a side and lean forward slightly. My balance scores shot up after a half hour of practice.

Cons

While the games kept me entertained for a week, I imagine I’d soon be sick of them and the post-workout evaluations by the virtual trainer who has a revolving script of tiresome one-liners.

Yoga

The Routine

Four poses initially. Master these, and 11 more are ‘unlocked.’

Best For

Stretching slackers.

Pros

My tight hamstrings could certainly benefit from yoga, if I had the time and courage. With the Wii, I was able to confidently work on my poses in private. And because the four-pose routine lasted only 10 minutes, I did it five days a week.

Cons

My den isn’t exactly Zen, so it was easy to get distracted. And I have to think doing Warrior I with one leg elevated on the board would appall yoga traditionalists. After a week, I was bored with the same poses – and you do them one at a time, without the flow of a normal yoga routine.

Cardio

The Routine

Choose from nine workouts, lasting up to 30 minutes.

Best For

Cross-training.

Pros

Of the games (jogging, dancing, step aerobics, etc.), boxing was my favorite. I burned some calories – and some steam.

Cons

Running in place in front of my TV was torture. I could never stand it long enough to get in any semblance of a legit training run.

Strength

The Routine

Five initial exercises; 10 advanced available.

Best For

Starting a strength-training routine.

Pros

This category has the best variety of activities, ranging from push-ups to lunges.

Cons

Wii sends you back to the main menu after doing only one set when I could’ve easily banged out two or three sets. And it’s a far cry from a living, breathing trainer. The Wii gives you the basics, but it’s not customized to your individual needs – especially if you have injury issues.

Weight Loss Diet Why Nutritional Cleansing Gets Fast Safe Natural Weight Loss

January 23rd, 2010 admin

Weight loss has become an obsession in a nation where 63% of the people are overweight and a startling 31% are obese. Clearly our modern lifestyle is not healthy. Many people are desperate to make a change and will try any ‘magic-bullet’ weight loss cure that is offered – still the obesity rates climb. What are the reasons behind this trend? The stress of our lifestyles, toxicity in the environment, unhealthy processed food, improper nutrition habits, and lives spent in our cars, small offices and houses with little or no time in fresh air. Our lifestyles seem designed to make us fat.

People desperate for weight loss will try any diet, take any pill, and even resort to surgery to try and get their weight under control, but if they don’t deal with the underlying issues that lead to obesity in the first place they are bound to regain the weight leading to an ever increasing waistline. There is no ‘magic-bullet’ to take away obesity. In order to counter the effects of our unhealthy lifestyles it is necessary to deal with the underlying issues that are causing the obesity in the first place. We can learn from the lifestyles of ancient cultures where the diet is predominantly fruits, grains and vegetables and where fasting or nutritional cleansing is an accepted practice.

We are surrounded by more chemicals with higher levels of toxicity than ever before. These chemicals can build up in our body and compound the problems of improper nutrition leading to obesity. Nutritional cleansing is a great way to help our bodies deal with toxicity. By eating healthy meals, predominantly of vegetables and lean protein, and by taking regular cleanse days to flush the toxins from the system our bodies will re-set the natural balance and weight loss will automatically follow. Unlike fasting, nutritional cleansing is not simply a process of not eating. When you undertake nutritional cleansing you drink a specially prepared vitamin and mineral packed supplement that will help increase your energy, cleanse the toxins from your body and even help your skin and hair regain the gloss of health.

Simply by reprogramming your life to eat healthier food, drink plenty of water and cleanse the toxins from your body you will see results. Not only will you lose weight, but you will have more energy, feel healthier and best of all, have reduced cravings for those unhealthy foods. The best thing about nutritional cleansing is that you can achieve weight loss without going on a diet!
