It's On

Finally, a reason to be excited about exercise. Mark & I started to use the Nintendo DS Personal Trainer walking program to encourage each other to become more physically active. It's turned into a competition of sorts. I'm winning!

Has anyone tried this? It's pretty cool. Those little gadgets over there on the right act as a pedometer, counting all your steps & measuring your activity throughout the day.

So far, I've beat Mark hands down each day. My target step count is a bit low, though, so I'll have to crank up the mileage. From the minute I get up, to the minute I hit the hay, this little guy (I'm white, Mark is black) is in my pocket.

When you're ready to call it quits, you download the info into the DS and it shows you an hour-by-hour record of your activity. I'm seriously addicted and was ecstatic when the flashing red light switched to green (= I met my target steps) at only 10:30 a.m. today!

That's very cool! You'd no doubt hit your walking goal by 8:00am here everyday. I'll look for it here. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
