I am bound and determined that 2013 is THE year that I finally get my overweight self into shape. There have been tons of bloggers in my past that have done that and they are so inspiring to me when I see the before and after photos. I want to reach that goal this year!
I am taking a different approach this year though. I am using the gaming systems to help me exercise and strength train. My favorite? The Nike+ Kinect Strength Training from XBox.
The Nike+ Kinect Training personalized workout program can help you “Train for Your Moment” – whether running a five minute mile, summiting your first mountain or simply rocking your skinny jeans in 2013.
I love that this program is made just for me and that I can keep track of everything I am doing, right on screen. Because it tracks my movements, it can give me instant results for what I am doing. There is no other product on the market that can do that.
Another thing that I love about the Nike+ Kinect Training are the video diaries available. You can get encouragement from athletes like Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson, NFL wide receiver DeSean Jackson, TV host Julie Alexandria and DJ Skee working out with Nike+ Kinect.
