Today's exercises went well. I had some problems with the Wiimote and nunchuck registering on the bicep curls with shoulder presses.

I never mentioned this, but I do not use the resistance band that came with EA Active - it's too flimsy and doesn't give you enough resistance. I use a band I bought a couple of years ago that is right for my height, so it's a lot tighter. The problem with my band is the handles are huge, so it's hard to hold the Wiimote and Nunchuck in my hands as still as I need to for the game to register the movement. Sometimes, after doing the rep with the resistance band, I drop the side I'm having a problem with and redo the move without the band in my hand. I always do the rep first with the band.
