I hate to exercise as much as most people but exercising like this is SOO much better than going to the gym or follow tv workouts. EA Active makes it more like a game and makes it fun. The big thing for me is that its helping me to get the discipline I need when it comes to exercises. It gives you enough to get your heart pumping with out going on to long and burning you out too soon. You can always add more to your routine to keep it going. I'm over half way through my first 30 day challenge and im not quitting! After watching what I eat the last month and exercising the last couple of weeks, Im already feeling a difference in how my jeans fit! Now THATS motivation!
What's great about it: The game is easy to set up and easy to follow.
