It doesn't leave much time for exercise, despite me actually loving to do it. Yes I am a very large Black Jew, but I have always been very active.
If I had copious amounts of free time and a world that treated every human being with the innate dignity of G-d, I would spend all my time hiking and playing sports. I wish I could play Rugby and Football, Hike, Swim, Softball, and my favorite Yoga.
I make time for none of these things. What I found in the absence I think is the future of exercise for a lot of Americans who are all over worked. Gaming Systems, especially as they become fitted with devices to catch our movement and actions, can be used as a means to substitute the gym.
They offer dynamic workouts that keep me interested where videos that simply replay the same thing over and over do not. And they keep track of my progress building and changing to match what I have done.
I have a Wii gaming system (I love you Wii) and these are the games I use to exercise.
EA Sports Active 2 for Wii
This was my favorite as it was like having a hardcore trainer in my house. The only problems with it were it doesn't always pick up real movements and after finishing the 90 day work out, game gets boring.
New U Fitness First Yoga Yes, actual yoga... its a lot of fun as well.
Golds Gym Cardio WorkoutI get to fake Box and by far it gives me the best work out. I end up sweating and feeling my core really worked, and I barely noticed.
If you are pressed for time and have a gaming system, I suggest you give it a try. Of course I always prefer getting out from the TV screen and enjoying nature or getting in front of a real yoga teacher who can place me in the right positions. But without the money and without the time, its a nice way to keep me going during those long weekdays when I get home after 10.
