Workout Wednesday: Final Results of 12 Weeks of YourShape: Fitness Evolved
It’s my last Workout Wednesday post and I’m in disbelief that I’ve been writing about how YourShape: Fitness Evolved by Ubisoft has helped me work working my fitness goals for the past 12 weeks. I admit to being excited but skeptical when I first started. I’ve never stuck with at-home fitness programs for too long. I’m a…

It’s January, the month for resolutions to be made and often broken.

Workout Wednesday: Ubisoft’s YourShape Fitness for Kinect Helps Curb Holiday Weight Gain
Luckily gingerbread house candy doesn’t tempt me. But homemade cookies do…. And I was quite tempted I was to order one of these while writing up my Mrs. Prindable’s gift guide last night! Thankfully staying faithful to my YourShape Fitness Trainer means my total weight gain for the week is 0! I didn’t lose anything either…

I’ve been using YourShape Fitness on the Kinect for the past 6 weeks and am halfway towards my 12 weeks of documenting my progress. There are days that I’ve stepped on the scale feeling strong and like I should weigh less but yet the number on the digital display is always about the same. Give…
Workout Wednesday: Oh Kinect! I’ve Missed You!
I’m back from sunny San Diego where I admit that my workouts involved walking LegoLand to experience every single ride in the park, pounding the streets of La Jolla in search of the best fish tacos, engaging arm muscles to haul luggage, and dancing at my brother’s wedding. Now that I’m home, I definitely…
