I Lost Weight Through Motion Gaming
I have never really been satisfied with the way I look. The extra weight never seemed to go away even though I tried several food regimens that said they would work. I joined a gym at some point, but let my membership lapse. I never bothered to go to the gym. The way I looked was set in stone and I was not going to be able to get to a healthy weight no matter what. Suddenly I was given the opportunity to make a difference.
I was reading an article and in the article was a advertisement for xbox 360 kinectand rather than ignoring it like I normally would I checked it out, filled out the information and a month or so later was notified that I had won and I would be receiving my new Xbox in just a short while so I decided that I would look into the best ways for me to use this new system so that I could get the most out of my unexpected windfall.
The new system was not the same as the ones that I had used as a child. There was no need to use a remote control. Instead of a controller, I moved around in front of the screen. I would have to get up off of the sofa to play. That meant I was going to get some physical activity. I decided to use this physical activity as part of an overall fitness program. I checked out the various fitness titles for the gaming system and was able to settle on one.
My plan involved more than gaming. I started to do some research on the right way to lose weight. I watched the Biggest Loser and saw people change their lives and drop a lot of weight. My weight was not that big an issue, but I saw what can be accomplished. My research showed that by eating right and working out a person can get fit and trim. I decided to make it work for me too.
The difference between what I was going to do this time and what I did in the past was the use of technology. By using a motion controlled game, I could not use some of the excuses that I had used before. I could not blame the weather or say I did not have the time to get to the gym. I only had to turn on the game system to start working out. I also started to use my computer to keep a journal. I wrote my thoughts and feelings in this journal. In the computer, I wrote what I hoped to accomplish. Real numbers about how long I exercised and how much weight I lost were included. This was done in addition to what the fitness game did for me.
The gaming part of my regimen was attractive to the entire household. Anytime I turned the game on to workout my children would be moving right along with me. It was something that also attracted my spouse. We were going to get healthy as a family.
The next step we took was to find ways to eat food that would help us get healthier and did not have any trouble finding this information. Research turned up healthy alternatives to many things that we enjoyed. A family diary was created to monitor what we ate. I think seeing it on a screen stopped me from my snacking habit. We found out that we actually could cook and it was something that was a lot of fun to do.
Many months have passed since we received our
kinect system and it has been great as I have taken off much of my extra weight and kept it off and because the system was free and we did not spend much on games, and due to the fact that eating healthier was actually cheaper, we are in better financial shape as well. It has been a good thing. The xbox 360 kinect price is 159.99 US Dollars
