I bought Kinect yesteday and have decided to see how much weight i can lose using Your Shape Fitness Evolved.

I will also be eating more fruit and generally eating a bit healthier.

Every day i will post how long i have exercised for, which exercises i did, and how many calories i burned.

Once a week i will post my weight and how much weight i have lost or gained.

At the moment i am 201lbs/91kg...

I am aiming at getting to around 133lbs/60kg

[emiingham]

so i started out with a few games to warm up:

light race (easy/1 min) - 10 calories
loop-a-hoop (easy/40 secs) - 7 calories
virtual smash (easy/1 min) - 10 calories


i then went on to do a personal training session lasting 7 mins and consisting of dodges and knee lifts - 17 calories


after my training session i went back to do some more games as i had forgotten to check how long they lasted:

light race (easy/1 min) - 10 calories
loop-a-hoop (easy/40 secs) - 7 calories
virtual smash (easy/1 min) - 10 calories


next i went on to do some cardio boxing:

Silver Part 3 (4 mins) - 20 calories
Bronze Entire Class (10 mins) - 25 calories


after this i had a few hours break, then proceded to do some more cardio boxing and games:

Silver Entire Class (12 mins) - 42 calories

Virtual Smash (easy/1 min) - 10 calories
Light Race (medium/1 min) - 9 calories

Gold Part 1 (4 mins) - 32 calories

Virtual Smash (easy/1 min) - 10 calories


After this i did a game of Stack-Em-Up (easy/2 mins) to cool down - 1 calorie

If i decide to do any more exercises today i will add them in.

Total calories burned today: 220
Total time spent exercising: 47 mins 20 seconds

Cool, do you have a target weight? Looking forward to seeing progress. Drinking water instead of other things is a great way to lose weight as well.

Good luck!

[emiingham]

Right... Day 2: I have added a target weight to my first post.

My legs are acheing quite a bit from the squating in the boxing, but i was expecting that.

[Nick]

Cool Emiingham. Keep at it. Personally, I have been playing 1 20 minute fitness workout. I still have 8 days left in th program and will see it through. It's only 109 calories each time I play but I usually do a few rounds of virtual smash and another minigame. I'm probably at 150 avg calories burned per day.

Even though I haven't done them in a few days, I agree with you that the cardio boxing is the most fun- especially when doing the jab, cross, hook, uppercut combo's. Makes you feel like a boxer .

[emiingham]

Day 3: I don't ache anymore yay lol I'm quite suprised about this because of how much i did yesterday

I'm going to do some personal training today as i haven't done much..

I'll put on what exercises i've done later today, and i will update it if i do any more after.

Wow, congratulations. You had a strong start and slowed down a bit. If you want to push yourself harder, try to exercise everyday or every second day. If you continue at this pace, it will take you 13-14 weeks to reach your goal, that's pretty good. Can't wait for you to reach your goal.
