My new workout (Jana)


  • Light warmup, swaying back and forth on the balls of my feet while pressing buttons with my thumb.
  • Slightly more intense period of warmup while choosing game options.
  • Short period of rest while animations play
  • Then, I draw my sword!  Swash!  Buckle!  Ha!  First pirate down.  I slash!  I parry!  I jab!  Second enemy meets his doom.
  • I grab the treasure!
  • Continuing around the corner, I encounter more enemies!
  • Slash!  Hack!  Jump!  Turn!  Do a combo!  Stab!
  • Continue above step until all enemies are defeated.  This usually lasts between five and ten minutes.
  • Now the really big bad guy comes out.  I get only a moment of rest before going into battle.
  • Slash!  Jump!  Stab!  Ouch!  Okay, turn, jump, combo!  Defend, defend, stab!  Another five to ten minutes at least.
  • Repeat until big enemy is defeated and level is complete!

Workout regimen courtesy of my Nintendo Wii and the Pirates of the Caribbean game! I looked for a video, and this is what I found.  I jump around a lot more than these people, though.  I tell you, I’m seriously sweating by the time I finish a level!  Hehe.

  2. Oh, Jana, I am soooo jealous! I had a Star Wars light saber game, but I played so hard it broke. It would have me sweating in 2 minutes. Enjoy the fun and the burn!
