DVD's have become a problem as we no longer have a DVD player, and anything we watch has to be through the computer, which becomes really tricky to use between school use and then getting the bodies out of the room long enough to have room to work. This is one reason why the Wii Fit works so well for us . It has yoga, strength training, aerobic and balance exercises and you can set your own routine. Using the Wii has been a lot easier ( space and competition for the TV) than DVD's have proven to be. We live in 725 Sq ft, and between computer stuff, music stuff( my hubby's second job is a song leader) and books we cannot get in luxuries like living room furniture, and almost any exercise means something is going to get knocked. We are planning on a move this spring to a place with more floor space, first level and so forth to address several of these issues !<br /><br />Jennifer- they sound yummy , and healthy ! <br /><br />Marisa- GREAT strategy ! I have done similar things in years past- hand out something I will not lose control over. Last year we saved all the leftover candy ans made Gingerbread houses out of, but this year I thought something different might be better.Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04694756762570280051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886550030061459124.post-12680088533607040502009-10-22T08:29:51.824-07:002009-10-22T08:29:51.824-07:00Haven't caught Glee, yet - I heard it's gr...Haven't caught Glee, yet - I heard it's great!<br /><br />I like to give out AirHeads and Nerds mainly because I can have those in the house without going crazy!

I bought these little snack bags, and they are 50 calories per bag. I feel much better giving those to the kids than a bunch of sugar. They are still fun though, being in cool shapes and in a colorful halloween bag.Psalmisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05839977469369614183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886550030061459124.post-63123118228273862832009-10-22T07:18:49.025-07:002009-10-22T07:18:49.025-07:00We don't get trick or treaters here since we a...We don't get trick or treaters here since we are out in the country! I like your idea of handing out a healthier/lower calorie alternative.<br /><br />Diane, I have a Pilates Complete for Weight Loss DVD that I picked up at a yard sale. It's suppossed to be great for strengthening, weight loss, etc without placing undo stress on the joints. If you'd like it I'd be glad to send it to you. Let me know. It might be another thing to add into your routine.<br />Here's my email if you want it:<br /><br />fittothefinish@hotmail.comDiane, Fit to the Finishhttp://www.fittothefinish.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
