Just finished 30 minutes MFC.

Total today = 30 minutes TBL Cardio Max, 30 minutes free step, 30 minutes MFC, full body w/s
Thanks! I am super impressed and I bet you are burning more calories because you are varied and breaking it up.

Can I ask how much was the Wii fit and is the cardo max, free step and full body programs on the Wii fit or did you have to buy them separately?

I can't be quite sure of the prices because my bf bought them but I believe he paid under 500 bucks for the Wii + balance board + Wii Fit. Cardio Max is one of The Biggest Loser workout DVDs. Free step is one of the aerobic exercises with the Wii Fit

Nothing wrong per se but how fast were you doing the reps? Your movements should be slow and controlled (you can count say 1001, 1002, 1003 etc by the time you reach the end of the movement). Did your muscles feel fatigued at the last rep of each set? Remember, the whole idea is to not be able to do, for example, the 11th rep if you decide to stick with 10 reps/set. And the 10th rep/set should be where you feel, that's it my muscles are crying and I'll lose form if I do 1 more rep etc . It should take you roughly an hour give or take few minutes.

It takes me about an hour, including the 5-6 min warm up jog. I also note down in the column there, weights I used and reps I did for that day & week. Very important to keep track.

You can do 3 sets for all the exercise. I did 2 for some cuz that's how I wanted to do it. Plus, abs I am following the Ab Ripper X now. And, for me more reps for abs felt better. You can start with 15 and see how you feel.

I would not recommend going over 3 sets per exercise. You can change the reps if you want to keep it between 8-10 reps/set. I chose different reps for couple of them based on how I needed to work my muscles.

Hope I made sense here...
