Yeah it's just a sales ploy LOL. They will do exercises for you with or without a board and asks if you have one or not before you start, and in all honesty I am on Day 11 of the challenge and only had a couple of activities with the board.
You definitely feel it the first few days. Omg I could hardly walk LOL. You do 2 days then they give you a day off, 2 days, day off etc. I've also been watching what I eat during the time as well and have dropped a kilo. I was doing it before christmas too, until Day 10 when I tore a tendon in my ankle from side lunges. So now I just cross out them I had lost a kilo in the first 10 days prior to Christmas too, but put it back on over christmas when I was laid up cause of the ankle LOL.
Totally agree with Kat Trish. I have both and the EA Active is far better in terms of fitness. I actually find it better without the board as I can use it wearing sneakers.
When we lived in Darwin last year I lost 5 kilos in a couple of months walking and using it.
I have extra dumbells and step height for mine too, but I do go to the gym and find that on it's own it isn't much of a challenge.
eta I hate side lunges too Kat - always delete them!
Ouch @ tearing a tendon! Think I'll give those side lunges a miss if I get one!!
Thanks Kim! I'm hoping it will be something a bit extra on the side to compliment my daily walking. I don't want to be mega-fit, just feeling fit and hopefully I can lose a few kgs.
I've put on 5kg this year which is unheard of for me! I've always been the same weight (apart from when I've been pg or just had a bub) since my early 20's and am freaking out that I might actually have to do something to keep weight off now
LOL Trish that sounds just like me. I was quite happy at my 55kg, in the healthy range for the BMI. I have put on 10kg in 18mths and since going onto the depo injection. Dr said that the Depo makes you feel hungry and it isn't the dep itself.... yeah right
I don't like walking by myself. So a friend is coming out with me from next week and 3 days a week we'll do laps of the footy oval down the end of my road. Oh and on nice days and when I am not at the school myself. I will be walking down to pick the kids up. I used to have to walk rain hail or shine till we got our 2nd car 2.5yrs ago which sort of coincides with the weight going on
Good on you for organising someone to walk with! I walk to DS1's school each day - it's 10 mins each way and on the way there it's uphill with me pushing a pram. On the days DS2 goes to kinder (joined to the school) I have an extra 20 min walk that day, so I walk about 40 - 60 mins a day - just not all at once!
I guess I'd better start eating a bit better too...
i used wii fit in conjunction with an excersise bike (sat it in the loungeroom & watched tv so i didnt get bored).. i lost 10kgs along with healthy eating!
i love the yoga, step class and hula hoops on wii fit!
I have a step raising base for mine and I find that certainly adds an extra kick.
I like the boxing too, and there's a game where you have to fly and land on islandy things....it makes your arms hurt. And there's also one of the combo games where you have to run and jump and flap and etc etc. It gets your heart rate up too.
I am currently excpecting and so i am only doing the yoga and muscle exercises for the time being and i find them great! I get the slight heart rate rise which the ob recommended and i can feel that my muscles have been working after....let you know in June if the core muscles have been trained enough....lol
I had lost a kilo in the first 10 days prior to Christmas too, but put it back on over christmas when I was laid up cause of the ankle LOL.
