I really wish this was a post about how to get exercise in during quarantining because all the gyms are closed, but in reality, I just hate going to the gym. Not really the exercise part but literally going to the gym. I know it’s a load of excuses, but I’m at work 8 1/2 hours a day, with a 45 minute one way drive. Absolutely no gyms are on my way to work and, if I were to go to one by my house, it’s a 15 minute drive away. I already barely have enough for gas the way it is, plus money for a gym membership? Ugh.
About a year ago, I lost 15 pounds rather easily by counting calories and working out. I went to the gym at my university for free, and it was right in my campus. I’ve gained that weight back since and am looking to loose some pounds again.
So, during my boredom, I turned on my Wii and played Wii Sports. I absolutely love boxing and tennis, but so more boxing. I used to be pretty good at it, just below a pro level, so that’s the level my Wii automatically puts me on. I googled it and a study found a person burns 125 calories per half an hour playing boxing on the Wii.
Anyone actually loose weight this way?
Keep in mind, this is literally just a way to keep me moving and burning calories. I get it isn’t a perfect workout. But when I lost the 15 pounds, I would exercise for roughly 30 minutes on the elliptical and burn roughly 250 calories. So I figure if I do an hour worth of Wii boxing a day, it can hold me over for at least a few months.
