DDR take 29
Who: Radagast & SO
Exercise type: Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 2
Duration: ~1 hour for Radagast; ~15 minutes for Radagast's SO
Notes: Our first time playing DDR Hottest Party 2 for the Wii. We're excited about the new song selection and we now have two dance mats (we can play simultaneously!), though we're annoyed by the actual music videos in the background (of at least Bust a Move) and the requirement to pause, read instructions, and hit A after selecting each and every song.

iStretch 16 take 4
Who: Radagast and SO
Exercise type: iStretch 16 (a downloaded, mp3-based yoga workout)
Portions of mp3: Entire 45-minute workout
Duration: ~45 minutes
Notes: Our first yoga workout in more than four months (Radagast has been avoiding both yoga and weightlifting due to problems with his wrists); amazing how much flexibility you lose in a short amount of time. This was much more challenging than we remember it being.
Blog note: After being behind in posting for nearly 8 months, the exercise blog is finally up to date for Radagast (excluding a few walking posts for December). Radagast's SO has decided not to try to get 2008's posts up to date (Radagast's SO is missing many exercise bouts for the year), and will wait until the new year to start serious tracking again.
Radagast's totals: 175/225; 58/75; $267.50
