And On The Seventh Day He Rested
Next was a 5 minute test to give my heart rate a base to test against in the coming weeks so Sports Active 2 could asses just how fit I was becoming. This involved jumping up and down on the spot. Or at least that’s what I thought my personal trainer was doing. I was soon told in no uncertain terms that jumping on the spot wasn’t good enough. Jumping forwards and backwards was the order of the day, and there was no way to trick the Kinect. It sees everything.
I was soon jumping at a good pace according to my trainer, but then I released barley a minute had passed in this five minute test. I had to slow it down. That didn’t impress my trainer – especially when i had to stop to catch my breath.
Fortunately, part of the five minute test was the warm down period, a gentle walk (on the spot) saw me get through the first part of Sports Active alive. But now I was to face a proper workout. This was going to be interesting.
Lady luck however had other plans, Sunday was a rest day and there was no more exercising for me. I could relax my weary legs and enjoy the reprieve. Though there was the nagging thought that the reprieve would be all to short as I had just signed up for a 9 week program with 4 workouts a week scheduled.
It’s going to be an interesting 9 weeks, especially as I have a number of other Kinect games that need to be put through the paces at the same time.
