Great Workouts,
by Jenny Newton, 2010-02-07

I started this on the 30 day challenge. I wanted to try the challenge before I went in an customized my workouts. Being not as active as I should be I should have started with customizing the workouts due to being as sore as I was after completing the first day then waited a week before trying again. I love this game but as a suggestion to people like me who are not as active should test out the excersises and workup to doing a 30 day challenge. Great game and it does not feel like I am doing as much work as I actually am.

I think this is a great product for those days when your not able to get to the gym. I do not use it as my primary form of exercise but I do enjoy having it for when I don't want to go to the gym. It is a very god leg workout (the lunges and squats) but the arm band is a little weak but I heard you can purchase I new one. Overall, this is a good game.

EA Sports Active - Fun but Frustrating,
by Wendie Raze, 2010-02-06

This was fun, but ended up having to buy the motion sense a few weeks later, I would be in the middle o my workout and it would act as though it wasn't recognizing my movements. There were times I was trying to get it to recognize I've done the exercise exactly as show with hands in the same position, and it was telling me I wasn't doing it right!

Other than that, it is fun.

It works!,

I bought this game and played it a couple times, then let it sit on the shelf for almost a year. I finally got it back out after my holiday bulge was getting out of hand. I completed my 30 day challenge, and am down 6 pounds. I started on easy, but moved up to medium after a couple days. I also bought a new resistance tube because the one that comes with the game is a joke. Never once did I "uncheck" an exercise when I looked at my scheduled routine for the day.
I really like that there is a number of reps they make you do. If I were doing these exercises on my own, I probably would do about half the reps. I worked, I sweated, my muscles ached. And I feel better now than I have in a long time. I plan on starting another 30 day challenge on hard very soon.

what a good workout!,
