As a EA Sports Active 6 Week Challenger, I got to try out the game this week. (This geek was in heaven.) Since I have been training with the EA Sports Active Personal Trainer (the first EA Sports Active game) for the last 6 months and just finished training for my 5k, I figured this More Workouts was going to be a breeze. I put the disc in my Wii console and it immediately found my profile from the Personal Trainer game and pulled all my information into the new game. I was able to adjust my avatar in the new game and there are more options for clothing styles. I got myself all dressed up (in the game) for More Workouts and figured I’d breeze through an easy workout.
I didn’t even bother to put my hair up or put on shoes because i really had myself convinced it would be really easy. I chose an easy 20 minutes workout. It started with some warm-up exercises and then got right into the fun. The scenery was worth the new game for me. I was working out along the beach and riding the waves. All the exercises I did were either completely different or a variation of an exercise from Personal Trainer. It was definitely a challenging workout
Right after I completed that first workout, I recorded this video. I wanted to capture the excitement I felt at that moment.
My first geek impression? AWESOME
Today, I tried the 11 minute abdominal workout. Yes, the More Workouts includes workouts for your abs. It was 11 minutes of abdominal torture. I had a hysterectomy 2 years ago so my abs are not very strong and an area I’m really looking forward to strengthening. More Workouts is going to do that.
A few more first impression comments:
- The obstacle course is really fun and really difficult. A great interval workout.
- Easy to transfer your information from Personal Trainer to More Workouts.
- Playing squash is really hard for me even in a game (but a challenging lunge workout).
- I can water ski on the Wii much better than in real life.
- I prefer running with gorgeous scenery.
- My trainer won’t let me cheat on the abs exercises.
- I’m very sore this evening after 2 days of More Workouts cardio and an abs workout.
- This is a Geek tool for living an active lifestyle
Here is a video from the EA Sports Active website showing the different exercises that are available:
