I thought how great it would be to be able to be mobile without necessarily having to go anywhere.
I work out with my wonderful personal trainer, Tara Wind, a few times every week, but I’m just not dropping the weight fast enough. I don’t think an hour of working out a day is enough when I’m sitting on my rear end for the other 23 hours.
Today, in virtual teacher fashion, I devised a more interesting way to approach moving these old bones on a regular basis. It involves a timer and a virtual exercise wheel, and the video below will explain the basics of the idea in less than 3 minutes, thanks to screenjelly.
Right now the exercises are basic. I’m planning to work with Tara (I’m sure she’ll help!) to get more specific and even educational on the exercise descriptions. If you use this tool, make a note on the comments. Also, make a note on the comments if you’d like to see any new exercises included in the list of random exercises the wheel might land on!
