EA Sports Active

I've always found that, with exercise, there are two groups of people: Those who love physical exertion, and those who hate it. I fall squarely into the latter category. While I'm not against the concept of exercise, I am squarely against the idea of actually exercising. Don't get me wrong, I've been known to be active and fit at times. But more often than not I fall into the couch potato slump of not wanting to keep up with a tiresome routine. Whether it's going to the gym or simply walking around the block, I just can't be bothered. So when Nintendo released the Wii and the exercise-game genre was taken to the next level, people like me took note. I thought, "How perfect would it be if you could come home, turn on your Wii, and get a workout that rivals the kind you would get from a gym?" Well, after a few "missteps" in that area ( WiiFit , Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2009 ) I am happy to say that EA Sports Active finally bridges the gap between house and gym, earning it top honors as the best exercise game currently out for the Wii. Active completely does away with the yoga poses found in other games (like Wii Fit), and it focuses on the workout: Either a single session (chosen from a list of various sessions) or a full 30-day challenge (which is a series of 20 customized workouts meant to be completed over the course of a month). Most of the workouts are short, and they encompass exercises such as running in place, boxing, and bicep curls. Each exercise transitions into the next in such a fashion that I always felt like I got a good cardio workout.
