This is a compensated review from BlogHer and EA Sports Active for the Wii.

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.

I’m a lazy exerciser. I hate doing it but I know I have to or I’ll never be happy with my body. This challenge though was a great way of making it fun. I didn’t have to go to the horrid gym. It had me doing exercises I never really thought to do and I didn’t get bored with it. Compared to a work out video like The Shred which is generally really the same thing over and over and over. It was really nice to have the variety.

I feel like the difference. The cardio definitely helped, I no longer become winded walking up a few flights of stairs. My legs feel stronger from all the lunges. I feel like I can tell there is a difference in how I look. I even got a compliment saying I looked a bit thinner and well, that’s always nice to hear!

Gripes? We need a wireless nunchuck! You hear that, Nintendo? Then I won’t smack myself in the face while boxing or getting tangled in it. I hope that happens to other people too or I’m just an incredibly clumsy dork. Really, I think it would really help if there were a wireless option.

Overall, I really enjoyed the EA Sports Active. It’s definitely something I will continue to use as part of a work out routine. Only part of it though because Jillian really kicks my ass so I think I’ll have to keep her around. Especially since BlogHer is coming up and dude, I’m already getting invites for cheeseburger parties and the wine! Oh the wine! I’ll work out extra hard so that weekends intake doesn’t count!

So has anyone else picked up EA Sports Active? I’d love to know what you think about it!
