EyeToy Kinetic

Ok, I thought I had nothing to post today but actually I do.

On Sunday, I decided I would finally start my EyeToy Kinetic 12-week Personal Trainer program. Some of you may remember that JGT bought this for me for Christmas. It's a fitness programme developed by Playstation & Nike Motionworks and has a range of exercises you can do, as well as a personal trainer program, which it works out for you based on your age, weight and fitness prowess.

When I went to start my program, I noticed that I was supposed to be on Week 8. You see, I had actually set it all up about 8 weeks ago and then I guess I saw something shiny and forgot all about it. I was promptly told off by my trainer that it looked like I missed several sessions and would I like to start from Week 1.

To date, I have completed Week 1's program. I had a bit of difficulty with the camera calibration as it doesn't seem to be picking up what I'm doing with my left arm, which screws up my score in the end. Also, if you don't keep up with what you're supposed to be doing, the trainer starts telling you off. Actually, she starts with encouraging words but then she starts telling you to concentrate harder and then gets downright condescending. ('That's ok, that was a hard one,' she said, when all I had to do was kick a 'ball' into the wall.)

Then there was one exercise which I just couldn't follow and I ended up with a really sucky score. My trainer's comment? 'It's okay to get a bad score, it just gives you something to improve on next time!' Grrrr....

Haha... I'm sure she only sounds like a sarcastic cow in my head.

Anyway, I'll keep you updated on how I go. Probably not as frequently as I did with Grand Theft Auto though, which, by the way, I still haven't complete 100% and I'm only a foot soldier because I cheated.

Hmmmm.... Maybe I'll try GTA *without* cheats and start from the beginning. I might have to PG15+ this blog if I do that.
