**This is not part of the Blog Bash. It will end on Friday, September 25th at 12 noon CST **

I sit at my computer for entirely too many hours each day! Between my blog and homeschooling, I sometimes feel as if I never move from this spot. When Phil contacted me about reviewing Break Pal, I was excited!

What is Break Pal (from their website)?

It’s the simple answer to your fitness needs

So here’s how it works:

Every 30 minutes (or whatever time interval you set it to go off at) Break Pal will pop up on your computer screen and remind you to exercise.

But that’s not all.
The program will then direct you to a video with an exercise of your choice. Exercises vary from simple stretches to whatever. Martial arts aerobics, yoga, Tai Chi, Chi kung and soon all kinds of crazy stuff like belly dancing and Salsa dance. New exercises are added on a continual basis to keep things interesting. No boring office stretches here (unless that’s what you want).

But Then It Gets Better
The program is built around a social networking site. You know like facebook or MySpace. Except everyone on this social site has one thing in common. Trying to stay in shape while carrying on a busy lifestyle and working a desk job. Everyone here wants the same thing. To get in better shape.

Theoretically, it is GREAT! Unfortunately, I did it a few days like clock work – I only worked for 3 minutes every 30 minutes. How hard is that? Then, I began to feel like I was being interrupted. I would be in the middle of a train of thought and would have to stop to jump up and exercise because the thing would pop up in the middle of my screen and say, “it is time to exercise, are you ready?” Eventually, I began x-ing out of it without working out and telling her, “No! I am not ready!”

So, for me, this just didn’t work. I am sure it is safe to say that most people have more will power about exercising for a measly 3 minutes than I do. So, this would be perfect for them. LOL!

So, if you have more will power than me and would like your chance at winning a lifetime premium membership to Break Pal follow the requirements to get your name in the hat.
