Today was about 15 minutes of running, 5 minutes of balance training, and 10 minutes of strength training. I want to make it clear that I also have cardio workout on Tuesdays and Thursdays playing racquetball, so my results are going to vary from someone else trying the exact same regimen.

The column will be a summary/episode review of an anime that I’m watching along with a short progress report on Wii-Fit Plus and particular strength exercises I did. Weights: These are optional, but I like to do a bit of strength training in-between running.Also, on the Free Run, Wii-Fit suggests you change the channel, anyway. Probably, I will be doing two 10 minute run sessions with a break in-between. Wii + Wii-Fit: I choose to use Wii-Fit (Plus) because it helps chronicle progress and offers options like “10 minute free run” etc.Anime can be in whatever form you can get it to the TV.

TV + Anime: This is the other integral part, but kind of obvious.Treadmill: Absolutely important if you want any-weather running and you want to be able to watch TV while doing so.I guess for a start for this column I’ll list my equipment, because it’s close to bare minimum for what I’m wanting to do: In the future I will be sure to have one ready so I can provide the more interesting part of my column rather than just tell you guys “I worked out today, here are my statistics.” That’s not really the point of this blog, and I don’t want it to be a focus, but rather maybe some encouragement that there are ways to get some exercise while doing the things you like to do. Today I wasn’t able to set up my DVD player/streaming device before starting my workout. The basis of the new column will be my reviews of anime I’ve watched while running on a tentative schedule of Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday. And hey, I’m starting to get a bit older, so I should probably keep a decent exercise regimen at this point anyway. This isn’t so much of me going on an “exercise kick” as it is me wanting to stay in shape so I can continue cosplaying characters that are moderately skinny (I’m not going to emaciate myself). I haven’t gained much weight yet, but I did have to go up half of a pant size before starting work in early January. For that reason, I’ve decided to create a new blog column called “Anime Exercise.” Along with my new job, I’ve gotten a little out of exercise and a little more into being lazy around the house when I get home. They haven’t gotten particularly bad or particularly good.īecause of this, I really have nothing to blog about in-between.

I’ll probably be dropping the last two soon, but we’ll see. In case you’re wondering, my tentative list (for just this season’s anime) is now down to just: Now that I’ve weeded out the bad/mediocre ones for the season, all that’s really left is to watch them whole the way through. For a while now, I’ve been keeping up fairly well with my goals in keeping up with Winter 2011 anime.
