EA Sports Active Wrap UP

September 21, 2009

When I first started “practice” blogging, I had just purchased EA Sports Active and was “actively” using it.   I thought I’d write a final post about it since I intended to chronicle my way through the 30 day challenge but life sort of got in the way of that. All in all, I’m very pleased with EA Sports Active as part of my workout routine. The truth is that I get bored doing one [...]

EA Sports Active – Slightly Derailed

June 10, 2009

Ok, well I fully intended to  keep on keeping on with my ersatz EA Sports Active 30 day challenge.  I say ersatz because I decided to workout on all the days the 30 day challenge dictates,  but use the other harder preset workouts.   As I mentioned in a prior post, we’re having our hardwood floors redone due to installer error.  This has been 2 years in the making (I won’t bore you with the details) and [...]

June 1, 2009

I woke up with legs slightly sore from EA Sports Active Day 1 workout so that seemed promising. I felt nothing in my arms, but was not surprised given my complaint about the game’s orange band. I REALLY wanted to go running, because I bought a new iPod and have been without one since my daughter trashed my other one. I got it as a refurb on www.apple.com. It’s like brand new and they give [...]

EA Sports Active Wii Game – Review of My First Day

May 31, 2009

I just finished my first session of EA Sports Active about 15 minutes ago and I’ve decided to chronicle my adventures with it. I have the Wii Fit and a different workout game called My Fitness Coach. If you have the Wii Fit only, I don’t think that you are going to get a really great workout (though I am addicted to the Soccer Ball game and love the others). However, Wii Fit does measure [...]
