Default EA Sports Active anyone?

I just bought this last week, and I have decided to do the 30 day challenge. I just did my first one, on medium intensity, and I think I am going to die. But I'm really impressed with how good a work-out it actually gives, much more than Wii Fit. Does anyone else have it?

If I can do it, anyone can! But my legs are really hurting now - not looking forwards to staggering upstairs in the morning

I just finished my first 30 Day Challenge!!! It's def. a workout, and I started with Low Intensity! Some days, I feel like I want to reach through the tv and kill Chuck (that's what I named my trainer)...but overall, I like it b/c it's a good workout in around 20min. I started the Moderate Intensity yesterday, and I still hurt.

I'll join I got mine in June and did VERY well... for like 3 days. Since then, I've tried to start again - once - and did about 10 minutes before the baby was up and it was time to get going.

My afternoons are very limited - so I think my best bet is to do this first thing in the morning....

I ♥ my Wii Active. I did the 30 day challenge when I first got it, and now I use it a couple times a week as part of my routine.

I want it soooooooo bad! Dave refuses to buy it for me since I don't use my Wii fit so I will have to buy it myself once I'm working again!

I don't use my Wii Fit either (although I did use the balance board with the Sports Active), but I feel like I'll use this a lot more. With Wii Fit there is so much waiting time between the excercises, so I felt like it was a bit of a waste of time. With this one it's more of a continous exercise. I will be doing day 2 when I have put the kids to bed tonight, if I can manage - my legs are still killing me (not helped by wearing heels at work all day..)

I'm doing it after the kids are in bed too. Just finished day 2, it seemed a bit easier today - a bit less jumping around I'm still knackered though, and the stairs at work will probably be even harder to get up tomorrow

We just bought this last night. DH & I have been wanting to start exercising together & we just haven't been motivated. I still want to lose about 25 pounds. He doesn't need to lose any weight, just to get in shape. So, we're hoping this is what'll do it for us! I played around on it for about an hour today & I can feel the muscles burning, big time! I love it already! SO much better than Wii Fit!!

It is so much better, isn't it? I have to be honest I haven't been using it every day, more like 3-4 times a week, but it's better than nothing, which is how much I used my Wii fit

I debated on whether or not to spend my birthday money on this (a month ago) and didn't... but now I want it! So I guess I'll start saving up again!
