health, wellness, and technology in harmony

Wii fitness is definitely in big time! I haven't tried the Wii fit yet, but will buy it one day....for sure :). Though I have been a constant user of the Wii fit using the Wii Sports version. The fitness in the Wii sports features a fitness test that calculates a player's fitness age based on player's balance, speed, and stamina. I have yet to beat my actual age in the test! Though I must admit, it's a neat way to pull yourself into an exercise regime. Otherwise, there are times when you have to motivate and push yourself into doing and burning those extra calories in the gym.

I've at times borrowed several workout DVD's from our collection to follow the regime, but it is always hard to strictly abide by the schedule. I usually try to workout atleast twice or thrice in a week, but lately I am falling behind schedule... sniff sniff!

Talking about calories, I use this Web site to determine the calories of a food item. Simply put the search term of the foot item in the text field and hit enter. Simple and easy!

OCLS Learn 2.1- back in action! Yay!

Hooray!! Tom is back! Welcome back Tom. We sure miss you around, and it's good to see you are back in touch with all of us. I am sorry for joining in late for the course, but as they say “better late than never”.

I am so glad to see the course back in action and in full swing. This time talking about Web 3.0! Fascinating. This is the first time I am hearing the term Web 3.0! And I thought I am pretty well informed and up-to-date with technology! Whoops, not anymore I guess. Thanks Tom, for helping us open our eyes to the upcoming new stuff. It’s so hard to keep abreast with all the new stuff and only Learn 2.1 can help us beat that race. Thanks again. I’ll be looking forward to learn some exciting new stuff in this course.

I am not sure, if you noticed but I changed the look of the blog again! Well, new class should be accompanied with a brand new look as well!
