Thought I'd do this so that we can share our own little regimens - I think this will help me keep on track too as I've just started a new project.
PROJECT ULALA
So after a few years of running in the Netflix marathon, I've gone back to trying to get fit cheaply (no gyms, no fancy diets and preferably minimal financial expenditure).
A few years back (when I still had a Nintendo Wii) I would play Wii Fit once a week just to keep myself in shape. Now I have a new plan.
I'm playing Stepmania! (which, for those who don't know, is a free DDR game for the PC. You can play with a keyboard or, as I am, with a USB dance mat. The best part is, you can make your own songs for it, so I've downloaded a ton of Anime intros to work out to).
Here's my master plan thus far:
Month 1:
30 Mins Novice - Easy Dancing every other day (so, 3 times a week)
5 sit ups, 5 press ups & 5 crunches every night
Month 2:
30 Mins Novice - Easy Dancing every other day
10 sit ups, 10 press ups & 10 crunches every night
Month 3:
45 Mins Novice - Medium Dancing every other day
10 sit ups, 10 press ups & 10 crunches every night
Today is Day 1.
After some initial set up issues that took me an hour behind schedule, I completed a little over 30 mins of dancing and was completely exhausted.
I will do my 3 core exercises in about 45 minutes, after I've had my dinner.
Fingers crossed I'll be able to keep this up!
