Fat Butt Friday - Working Out with Jillian Michaels

 "One of my New Year's wishes was to shed some of the weight I had gained during my pregnancy with Little Monster, and so in my attempt to do so, I felt it was harder to hide late night snacking and lack of motivation if I put myself on the line and in the spotlight. Every Friday, I will be sharing my weight loss journey (including my successes and failures), as well as delicious recipes, meal ideas, and exercise suggestions. Join me if you accept the challenge to lose weight and gain a healthier life! (Don't forget to grab my button in the sidebar)"

This week, I picked up Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2009 for the Wii on sale at Kohls.  Not your typical place to be picking things like this up, but as we were checking out, it was sitting there near the end of the register calling my name with its awesome sale price. 

I have only tried it once so far, only because I have had an incredibly busy week.  However, the one time was enough to keep me wanting more.

What I love most is that as you burn more calories, you open up these great fitness and eating tips.  I want to workout just so I can find out what the next tip is.  There is a variety of different routines to go through and you can choose the length of your workout as well.  I even had fun creating my own avatar, even though she looks nothing like me.  Some of the exercises you can choose from are rowing a canoe, running, log balancing, and jumping through tires, plus more (those are just the ones I have done so far).

I even got my Marine, who is needing to shed a few pounds himself before he enters the Police Academy this Fall, to get up and try it.  He admitted to enjoying it too.  He claimed just last night that his legs were killing him, but he was going to get up and do it again today. Way to go!

If you haven't tried working out on the Wii, I strongly recommend it.  It really is a great way to change up the routine and an even better way to enjoy your workout on a rainy day.  There is now no excuse!

There are two Jillian Michaels fitness workouts for the Wii for you to try.  I purchased the 2009 version simply because of the great price.  There is also a 2010 version that I bet is great too.

You can go to Amazon to purchase either of these fitness games, plus other fitness games created for the Wii.
