Online Streaming of Fitness Classes

Today in my neck of the woods (Wisconsin), I am feeling pretty grateful for unseasonably warmer weather. Yesterday we hit as high as the mid 50’s and today we are in the 40’s. It is quite a contrast from a year ago when we were digging ourselves out after receiving more than two feet of snow. Winter can be a difficult time to exercise. It becomes especially challenging when the clouds are grey, the temperatures are frigid or there is a ton of snow. Who wants to go out in that? Maybe it’s not even the weather. Maybe you are … Continue reading →

A Review of “My Fitness Coach”

So for the past two weeks I have been thoroughly enjoying a new Wii fitness program, “My Fitness Coach.” After nearly a month of not using my Wii Fit Plus program due to health reasons, I was feeling a little unmotivated about starting up again. I think the boredom had finally hit and I was realizing that it wasn’t challenging enough. While I was physically active with Wii Fit, it wasn’t enough. I wasn’t sweating and to me, a good workout involves some sweat. So after several Facebook status updates from a friend who was using “My Fitness Coach,” I … Continue reading →

Which Wii Fitness Game Should You Choose?

Since the weather has gotten a bit cooler, I am anticipating that my mornings walking and running outside are a but numbered. The goose bumps I get as I start out are a clear indication that although the fall may be perfect for exercising outdoor, the winter surely won’t.

It is a bit pricey when you factor in having to use a … Continue reading →

VP Contender & P90X

Yet what we have learned is that people aren’t looking into his values and political views. They are looking to see him shirtless. In fact, Google searches for him accompanied by the word “shirtless” have gone up. You don’t know whether to … Continue reading →

Spring Is in the Air – Get Ready!

Where I am living, spring is definitely in the air. However, I always have my guard up when it hits the 60’s in Wisconsin in the month of March.

Meeting P.E. Requirements for the Homeschool Portfolio

In my last post, I talked about the absence, of physical education requirements for most homeschoolers. I also mentioned, that just because many states do not expressly require proof of physical fitness, it does not mean that you can neglect it. Depending on the college your child chooses, you may find the need to demonstrate that your child has fulfilled P.E. requirements. Here is a list of things you can do pack the homeschool portfolio with proof of Physical Education. Certificates and awards: Your child can prove that he or she has not only participated, but also excelled in Physical … Continue reading →
