I have one from January of Katie's last dance class.....
And I have one from February of our sledding adventures and a jam session at the EMP. Katie on drums, Mike on electric guitar, Mikey and John's daughter, Hannah on keyboard.....
And now for the blabbing....
The Xbox One (aka Xbone) offers free workouts on Xbox Fitness for Xbox Gold members. There's all sorts of stuff on there - a couple of Beach Body workouts, some Jillian Michaels workouts, lots of kickboxing and stuff like that.
I HATE running in the dark by myself. So, I've been doing the workouts.
My first observation: They need to have more, uh, normal looking people in these videos. All of them have super star bodies. They need more people like me; rockin' my white oversized t-shirt and Champion brand grey shorts. Oh yeah and they need to work out in bare feet.
My second observation: These people with the superstar bodies have not an ounce of fat on them. A lot of these work outs include plyometrics. Plyometrics = lots of bouncing/jumping. For those of you that don't know....fat bounces. And keeps on bouncing. Maybe for a second or two after you finish your jump.
My third observation: The background worker-outers are corny and need to be slapped. They have super smiles plastered on their faces and exaggerate every movement. Annoying.
My fourth observation: The Kinect sensor watches your every move and scores you. You get stars for working out good. Mikey likes it when I get stars. He cheers for me. It makes me want to get stars. When I don't get stars or when the Kinect crashes and boots me out of my workout without giving me my stars, I get Pissed. With a capital P.
My fifth and final observation: The people in the videos never get wedgies. They need to add an extra second or two in between exercises for me to pick my wedgie.
