I normally get solid scores on the various pushups and crunches, but not so much during this 20 minute routine.  I am going to chalk this up to the morning lighting in the room interfering with the camera\u2019s tracking.<\/p>\n<p>Next up was a 20 minutes Combat workout, which burned up another 136 calories.  I\u2019m a little disappointed that more calories were not burned, but that is OK, because I actually <em>enjoy<\/em> the Combat workouts.  At least the ones that track correctly with the camera + Move.<\/p>\n<p>This was another solid workout, good for a 5% boost to Level 80.  My second 5% boots this week; in one day.<\/p>\n<p>I started to do one more 15 minute quickie, but decided to call it off so I could watch the kickoff of the Georgia \u2013 Tech game.  Go Dawgs!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday<\/strong><br \/>\nAs has been normal this week, I started with a 20 minute Fitness workout, which was good for 163 calories.<\/p>\n<p>I followed up with a 15 minute Advance Cardio routine, which, while good for 103 calories, left me huffing and puffing.  Talking about being out of shape!<\/p>\n<p>Of all the Mel B fitness levels, Advance Cardio may be my lowest.  Some of this is due to periodic tracking problems; the sometimes gets confused and does not seem to track the Move even when I think I am following Mel B 100%.  The rest has to be attributed to my poor \u2018real life\u2019 fitness level.  Working on it.
