Exercising with EA Sports Active

If you recall, I had to skip my walks outside for various reasons and decided to work out with my Wii instead.  I have had these games for a while, but have never really used them consistently before now.  I started exercising with the Wii Fit and last week I moved on to the 30 day challenge with EA Sports Active.  There are definite benefits to each system.  Wii Fit gives me a better cardio workout because I am having so much fun that I don't realize how long I have been playing.  EA Sports Active is more intensive because it is like working out with a personal trainer. 

Oprah's personal trainer, Bob Greene, helped develop this system.  It provides you with a variety of exercises for a strength training routine that targets the muscles of the upper and lower body, as well as cardio.   There are 70+ exercises including: jogging, bicep curls, cardio boxing, inline skating, cross knee punches, bent over rows, lateral shoulder raises, said lunges, squats and tennis.   You can choose whether you want a male or female personal trainer to show you how to do each exercise and offer you verbal feedback.  The system is very useful in that it can tell when you are not doing an exercise properly and provides on screen cues to get you back on track.  All in all, this was a great investment!
