# 8 b) Create a workout

You want to workout for the summer ? Fitness magazine is a create way to build a workout, with your body target, equipments and laps of time. You can also choose a workout already set up for you. I really like to see what the exercises look like and the movements that I have to do.

#8 b) Be active with the wii

The Wii is a great way to keep the shape when it's cold outside or you don't feel to go out to do some exercises. I have try this game and I like it.In the beginning, you can create a profile. You have to enter your objective, weight and equipment you have at home. The game will create a routine depending of the king of training you want, ie lower body, cardio,yoga etc.

Dance Dance Revolution is great to kept the shape, but it's more for the cardio. I think it's a fun way to stay active. But the game is not long enough, after 2 weeks I have unlock all the level.

I tough this would be like DDR, but after a few try the sensor seems to not follow the movement correctly

I haven't try those game, but they seems fun. Active from EA look better than cardio workout from Golds Gym. Both are compatible with the wii fit board. 

# 8 c) Moisturizing conditioner ingredient

When I was looking for a new moisturizer, I began to wonder what was important and what makes the difference between each other. The last time I went to the spa, I ask the therapist what make a good product. She told my usually there's no bad product, You only have to find the right one for you. So I've browse the web to find what kind of product are good for my kind of hair. I didn't want to take a product because someone told me it was good, but I really wanted to understand what are the good ingredients and what do they do.

8 c) Knowing your skin type

This is sooo important. It's the base of a healthy skin. If you want to choose a product for your skin, you have to know your skin type. Using the wrong type of product will give you problems andit's a waste of time and money.  There is 5 basic types of skin; Dry, oily, normal, sensitive and combination of skin. To know your skin type you can easily check on the Internet or see your dermatologist/beauty therapist. I have found this website. They help you to find your skin type and they gave you a guide for tips, caring and treatment for your skin type.

# 7 Try indoor climbing

I have try indoor climbing this week, it's was cool. I've climb three walls of 50 feet. But I felt sick after the third one ... they say it's maybe because of the difference of temperature and pressure or because of the effort and stress.. anyways maybe I'll give it an other shot to see if it was a one time deal or I'm really not meant to do this. It's a little ironic because I was good at it for my first trial.

# 6 a) Try african dance

I've tried african dance this week and I've liked it. It was more a cardio and strenght training than a traditional dance. It has a lot of arms movements and jumps. For me, the difficulty of this dance it's the coordination of the arms and the legs. I will try the course for three other weeks. Here's a video of some basic moves.
