exercise for 30 minutes a day

I added 2 pounds of weights to each hand + write and now it feels like a workout. If you can burn 95 calories/15 minutes playing Wii tennis, I’d imagine that the weights probably boost the calories burned per 15 minutes to around 120 calories. I was also wearing a warmup pants and jacket, which probably adds maybe 5-10 calories (than if I just wore a t-shirt and shorts).

Overall, I played 1.5 hours today. I could only play two boxing matches today (got too winded) with the weights.

Hit the snooze button on my alarm clock one too many times this morning…so didn’t have time to exercise in the morning. So after work today, I played 30 minutes of Wii sports (tennis) and worked up a decent sweat (~180 calories/hour). Pretended it was a real game of tennis and swung the wii remote as hard as i could. I wonder how many calories I’m burning by playing Wii tennis 30 minutes a day. Can’t wait for boxing (reportedly, 250 calories/hour)!

I bought these ankle/wrist weights (2 lb) to help me burn extra calories. Afterwards, I’ll wear these on my ankles to work (under my trousers, of course) to burn even more calories.
