I will start off by saying EA SPORTS Active did not give me this game. I bought it with my money so this review is not influenced by any means.

EA Sports Active is AWESOME! I for one was surprised that is works. I heard so many people calling it a trainer in a box and that it was great for the people that couldn’t afford a gym membership or didn’t want to go to the gym; I had to find out for myself. I bought the EA SPORTS Active a few months ago and was very surprised in what I found. Not only did the workouts literally kick my but I was also sore for a couple of days afterwards.

When you start up the (we’ll call it Trainer in a Box) you have choices to make the easiest being your little mii (which I like better than my mii on the wii.) After you have set everything up you get to check out some of the exercises that are available. You can customize your workout to suit your abilities (for instance my knees aren’t so hot so I don’t do the squats like I should.) You can even start up the “Trainer in a Box” and just run or do a 30 Day Challenge that has rest days already built in for you.

You do get to pick your Trainer big decision male or female but I am telling you they will get on you if you slack. I love how the “Trainer” knows if I am slackin’ she (mines a female) will tell me to step it up or that I am almost done just a little more. The encouragement from a game is Awesome.

Not only does the EA SPORTS Active have high impact workouts but it has inline skating, boxing and other games to play and to me they all build on each other. The daily journal is great; it helps keep you on your toes and aware of what you are putting in your body. You can also add household/daily activities to your journal and get some credit for being Active while doing your daily routine.

Already, I have talked several people into buying this game and they love it as well. In my opinion I would give the EA SPORTS Active a 5 out of 5 stars. From what I hear in late November there is an expansion with some new exercises coming out. So, get your fast and get Active
