I just received this program for Christmas. I am excited to get started but I am still exploring a bit.

Right now I have to use the custom workouts since I currently have to avoid all the exercises that require the leg strap. While the strap fits my thight (tightly) I can't get it to stay up with any movement. I am plus-size and my thighs are quite large at the top and then narrow dramatically toward the knee. I am going to have to explore the option of a sewing a nunchuk pocket onto my workout pants. Anyone else with this problem?

Yesterday I did a 30 minute custom routine which used the balance board - mostly the sports routines (tennis, basketball, baseball, volleyball, and inline skating). It was fun and today I am VERY sore!!!

Hope others still post here. I am anxious share ideas, progress, etc...

Is that EA Sport Active 2?

I was previously working out my EA Sports Active: More Workout but that's onhold now while i enjoy Cardio Workout. ;o)

No I got the original "Personal Trainer" version. I like it, but it has some quirks. Its not that I dont like the exercises, but I think the software could stand some improvement.

But I do like the sports activities a lot. I do the basketball, tennis, baseball, and I like that I can track calories for those things (where I can't on Wii Sports).

So how do you like More Workouts? Also, do you have EASA2?

ggg

I will highly recommend EASA:More Workout. This game is taken more seriously because it includes warm-up and cool-down before every workout, which i think is absolutely critical for any health fitness activity.

But since EASA2 is out, i guess you'll be better off getting a hand on EASA2 rather than More Workout, but of course, there's the price of cost.

I'll like EASA2 one day.... waiting for a good deal to come along. ;o)

I pre-ordered EASA 2.0 when the price was $99 (full price), I was so impressed with the first two, EASA 1 & More Workouts, I didn't want to take the chance of diminishing supplies and not being able to order it. I luv it. I'm not bummed out that the price has dropped to almost 50% because I value my health more than I valued the full price. Also, a heart rate monitor begins around $90 so I don't feel ripped off. I purchased a second game (full game and not an extra set of the HRM and tracker) from Amazon when they had a sale, $47.00. I will use it as a back up or in case the USB dongle, HRM and or Tracker goes kaput.

wow, that's a good price you got for your EASA2. Amazon UK seems to be a bit pricier so so are the ones in the local Hypermarket. I'll keep my eye off for one.

So what's your verdict? Is EASA2 the best of the series so far?

As far as the "Brand" goes, I like EASA2 better than 1 and More. But then again you have to place within everything, the growth of the product so EASA2 is really a natural progression. Because of osteoarthritis, I do custom workouts, but EASA2 has two challenges, a 3 week cardio kick-start, for those who are just getting back into exercising, and a 9 week challenge with three phases that accelerate in intensity over the 9 weeks. The exercises can be set to easy, medium and hard intensity.

If your Wii, or PSP3 is on-line, you can see your stats on line if you get a EA persona and link it to your Sports Active account on your system. You can also join groups to see how your stats measure up to at least 11 other members of the group. I created a group for people who are exercising to keep control of their Blood Glucose, Pressure, Cholesterol, etc., more than weight loss. From my own experience, take care of your "numbers" and your weight will follow. I've been using EASA 2.0 since November 19th and have burned over 12,000 calories, doing 72 workouts in 29 hours. The site is still BETA so there are still bugs to work out, but I can easily get on line and show my docs, my "true" numbers. Every Sunday or Monday, if you click on the “journal” portion (system function not a WEB site function), you are asked if you want to do a weigh-in and/or a fitness test, a cardio intense drill (foot fires) that brings you hear rate up then tracks you for 2 minutes to see how long it takes your heart rate to return to 95 or below whichever comes first.

sounds very enticing..... I might just pick one up soon! he he..

Just a need a bit more time to finish up my Gold's Gym Cardio Workout! ;o)
