Love is Household Health

This weekend, I rode a whitewater raft down degree 4 rapids, realized hip hop dance strikes from a grasp, and performed a killer sport of seaside volleyball…all with out leaving my lounge. I skilled all these through the magic of Xbox Kinect*.

You see, I’m a type of girls who doesn’t wish to train. In any respect. Nada. Not one little bit. Certain, my mind is aware of that common train is extraordinarily essential. I can tout statistics about how common train positively impacts one’s temper, ldl cholesterol, metabolism, and weight. And after I do train, I do know that my physique feels higher afterward. I’ve extra power, sleep higher, and make higher decisions with meals.

However getting began to train takes each ounce of willpower that I’ve, and truthfully, many occasions that quantity falls brief and I simply merely don’t train. Once I don’t train, I don’t have extra power, don’t sleep properly, and don’t make higher decisions about meals…which ends up in not feeling as much as train. And the vicious cycle repeats.

However I do like to have enjoyable. And if that enjoyable entails spending time with my boys, ages 15 and 12, even higher! My boys (who will admit to figuring out that Santa isn’t actual solely after you’ve signed a launch stating that they’ll nonetheless obtain items even when they admit to that information) have had an Xbox for years, however this previous Christmas, Santa introduced them the Kinect sensor and several other video games.

Since Christmas, our household has been actively engaged in enjoying video games with the Xbox Kinect nearly daily. We play the sports activities video games, we play the driving video games, we play the journey video games, the capturing video games and the dancing video games. Okay, in truth, I’m the one one who performs the dancing video games. However we’re having a blast. We giggle, we compete, we get a exercise. Collectively. The way in which it must be.
