This is a compensated review from BlogHer and EA Sports Active for the Wii.
Everyone who reads my blog knows I struggle with my weight and body image so when this opportunity popped up, I jumped at it. Today I’ll be starting the EA Sports Active for the Wii 30 Day Challenge.

It’s basically a personal trainer in a box since it makes customized fitness programs for you. AND even better, I won’t have to go to that hateful thing they call “a gym”. I mean, a video game that will make me skinny if I keep at it? Let’s do it!
___
Day One
The game is telling me I’m not doing my squats and I’m like my legs and ass are saying DUDE, I disagree, enough with the squats!
Week Two
You won’t see me stuffing an actual personal trainer in my suitcase. 1) because I don’t think they’d like it too much and 2) that’s probably illegal.
Week Three
The day before my Vegas vacation (June 4th), I picked up a new pair of jeans for my trip. Today, I can slide them down without even having to unbutton them!
Week Four
Well, I’m just about done with my 30 Day Challenge. I’ve probably done 15000 lunges, runs in places, thrown twice the amount of punches and way too many squats. But you know what?
It was worth it. Even after all the whining I did.

Make sure you stay tuned to see how I’m doing with the challenge this month. I’m sure it will be interesting, to say the least. You can also check out the progress of the rest of the BlogHer reviewers and enter to win one of 5 copies of EA Sports Active. Don’t forget to stop by the EA Sports Active official site for more info on what will be kicking my butt this month!

I would definitely try a game workout if not just to switch up my routine and save some time. Good luck and can’t wait to hear more about it!

I would love to win this because I need something to mix up my daily workout routine every once in a while! I’d like to have an easy system to follow to work out at home, and I think this sounds like it’d be great fo rthat!

You’re such a cutie! Glad you’re blogging for us to read every day! If I won an EA Active I would be able to get in shape and have the ambition to follow all your style rules (read ditch my Crocs) and I swear even if I loose 9 thousand lbs, I won’t wear leggings as pants! =) Keep up the awesome work!
