Yourself! Fitness

Was a game originally made for the Xbox, back in 2005.

It comes in Playstation 2 and PC format too!So I'm in Mississauga during the Thanksgiving weekend and I noticed the Xbox in the guest room that wasn't reserved for me! (I had to stay in the basement, but it's all good). Anyway, I don't know anything about the Xbox, so I'm just going to assume that it had a hard drive in it because there was a long list of games in the menu. And of course "Yourself! Fitness" was the last game on the list but definitely not the least game. I tried it out and I fell in love right away.

Basically it's an exergame. Where you're introduced to Maya, your personal trainer, who explains pretty thoroughly what to expect. You create a profile by testing out your fitness level. You have to do jumping jacks, pushups and others like squats. You also have to inform Maya about your age, gender, weight, height and your physical lifestyle. After she gets all that valuable information, she will suggest a workout regime based on your goals, whether it may be weight loss, cardio or working on a specific body area. And just before you workout you get to choose which kind of environment you want Maya to workout in, the music you want her to move to and then the equipment you want her to work with. The equipement choices are weights, a stability ball, step bench or a heart monitor. If you have none that's okay too!And who wouldn't love a virtual personal trainer telling you to don't forget to breath, explain the movements of the exercise and encourage you to keep it up!?! Maya is so lovely and when I wasn't exercising I would wonder what she would show me the next time I'd exercise with her. She also keeps track of your progress too with charts and stuff!

The only con that I can think of right now is, when you do the fitness evaluation, don't start a workout right away, your muscles will be too tired to continue the workout.

And I remember wanting to get this game before on my laptop, but I hestitated to get it at the time. Now I'm telling you people not to hesitate! If you live in Canada and order the PC version from the Yourself! Fitness website, it will only take 2 full weeks to arrive at your doorstep! So don't wait! It's for anyone wanting to start exercising or revamp their workouts.Just visit the site for more info. Especially check out info about the meal plans. But it's more fun watching it from a friend's place.

I Love Hanging Out with Family

I mean the ones who don't take advantage of you and stuff.

Anyway, Friday night I went out a friend to the Mad Hatter's Bar in Montreal on Crescent street. It's a cool bar, rocking atmosphere and the peeps there are alright. Just don't bring a jacket, unless you don't mind beer being spilled on it. I didn't find any hangers to hangup my jacket but whatever. Then I visited my sis @6am, luckily she was doing laundry at the time... It's always nice to have a key to friends/families' places. LOL.Saturday we slept in and then got ready to help move a friend around 6pm and got some pizza out of it! Sunday we did my hair and went to the Pierrefond's Kingdom Hall and later visited my Auntie and cuz for supper. I'm still hanging around the home but I'll be in the job world soon!
