Just Dance 2: HIIT

From the moment I slid the disc into my Wii, I could feel an electric pulse surging through my body. With the assistance of my wife I played through ten songs, stopping for mere seconds between each song for a breather. This is a perfect HIIT workout, I burn about 300 calories in 30-45 minutes (depending on the song selection)--not to mention the significant boost HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) gives your metabolism. I played for about 30 minutes using my HRM during the 'Just Sweat' mode. My Heart Rate Monitor showed that I burned roughly 250 calories, while my sweat count was around 2400. So every ten sweat points represents roughly one calorie. One of the most difficult aspects of cardio (especially for myself) is to keep it interesting. It's easy to lose focus, when your running nowhere on a treadmill. This game is FUN? Straight up. Everyone who has played this at my house leaves saying, "Man, I'm gonna buy a Wii just so I can play this game!" From Avril Lavigne to Beastie Boys to Cher to Elvis to James Brown to Jackson 5 to Rolling Stones, this game has it all. Whatever you feel like dancing to, Just Dance caters to your desires. I highly recommend at least trying this game out for your cardio workouts. Not necessarily as an every-day cardio substitute, but it's nice to mix things up every once in a while. Give it a try, and let me know how it goes for you!

Pre-workout Supplements

In this article, I hope to answer several questions you may have about Pre-workout supplements. Pre-workout supplements are created to maximize your time spent in the gym. They are intended to increase your energy, they help you to maintain focus, and they attempt to give you an enormous pump. I'd like to state right off the bat, that I DO NOT reccommend taking a Pre-workout supplement. These have not been tested, and no one knows the long-term effects of a majority of the products on the market. That being said, I have tried a variety of different Pre-workout supplements and have found that they do exactly what they claim to do. The energy and focus is unbelievable! The first product I tried was a sample I received from Complete Nutrition called Bezerk. I had the greatest workout ever...until I tried Jack3d. From the moment I mixed Jack3d and tasted it, I could feel my whole face tingle. I got to the gym, turned on my blackberry, and hit up Sandstorm. Needless to say, it was on. I ran for five miles, compared to my regular one mile warm-up. I just kept going and going. The focus was so amazing. Typically, when I run I get discouraged thinking about how absurd it is to run in place, as time passes I watch the calories burned counter go slowly up--not anymore! Now I glance down at how long I've been running, and I am shocked: "32:15"! Jack3d contains Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate, Creatine Monohydrate, Beta Alanine, Caffeine, 1,3-Dimethylamylamine (Geranium [Stem]), Schizandrol A. It is important that I note that an over consumption of jack3d is unwise, and could lead to some pretty nasty side effects. So use it at your own risk. Until next time. USP Lab's Jack3d:
