Ever since we bought the Nintendo Wii three years ago, we've been using the Wii Sports as a daily exercise tool. Then came in the Wii Balance Board last year, so we bought that too and used it. The problem is, it becomes boring after a while. It is too repetitive for me and it doesn't not feel like a 'real workout'. Now, let's talk about EA Sports Active. This is the real thing! Aside from having many, many types of exercise (cardio and strength training), you can take their 30-day challenge where you follow an exercise regimen for 30-days. This is also endorsed by Bob Greene, Oprah's exercise guru. Well, I didn't know that he endorsed this when I bought it; I was actually surprised when I saw his video at the start. I've been doing this religiously and I am hoping (with fingers crossed) that this is IT for me. If this works, then I will be very happy and proud that I did not use any of the best diet pills that's being sold out there.
