Wii Sports Workouts

Looks like the Wii Sports workout really does work. Though I don't think the guy was in horrible shape to begin with. I also think that were he not doing an experiment he probably would have done other things like adjust his diet and do other healthy things (e.g. take the stairs, walk a little more, etc.) that would have taken off even more weight.

Speaking of that sort of stuff. This chiropractor stuff has really been helping. The initial muscle analysis that he did, and the specific exercises to strengthen my weak muscles, has really paid off. In particular I've been working on two of the muscles in my quadriceps. I got back on the bike yesterday and noticed that I had gained about 3 MPH even into the wind, and I felt no burning in my quads. The only thing that held me back was being out of breath and not having enough fuel to burn. The breath should get better as I finish off this cold and get into longer workouts, and the fuel situation may be helped with a switch to higher protein sources.
