Building my Home Gym


I am slowly building up a home gym and am always on the lookout for something new to add to my collection.

My bargain seeking husband found a GREAT deal on a Wii, so that was our family gift this year. (And I am talking about a REALLY GREAT deal.)
This same bargain seeking guy knows how much I love fitness and bought EA Active more workouts for me for Christmas, and I LOVE it!

I don't even know where to begin to express how much I love using this.  There is a 6 week challenge mode on it, and Greg and I are both currently in the 2nd week of this challenge.  It gives you 4 workouts a week and 3 rest days, so it is not a replacement workout by any means but something you can add onto what you are already doing.  I like it because it incorporates a lot of resistance training and that is something I struggle doing on my own.  I need someone to tell me what to do and then I will do it.

For all of you Wii people, I would DEFINITELY recommend this. 

What are some of your favorite workouts to do at home?

  1. I am so excited that they have something like that for the Wii! We got one too this year. Although I'm not quite ready for big workouts I do use my elliptical for 20 min every weekday. It's perfect because it gets my heartrate up and there's resistance. I have been thinking about getting Shake Weight but my sis has it and I want to see if she sees any good results. What else are you doing?

  2. we just got a wii this last fall and I have been meaning to get the Wii Fit and some other workout games. I have a very hard time working out at home...I work best with the buddy system and classes for the most part!

  3. I just started using the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred DVD. It is the first DVD I have ever owned that made me sore. Only $8 worth it. We will see how much I "shred" in 30 days. It's a 20 minute work out and I can almost always find time for 20 min.
