I would love to win the EASportsActive game. I’d like to be devoted enough to exercising at home that I could drop health club membership. Right now I only exercise at Health Club.
I subscribed via BlogLines.
The EASportsActive game looks so awesome. My favorite part of a workout? When it is over! I go to the gym in the mornings before work. It would be nice to workout at home and skip the gross showers!
One thing I love about exergaming is being able to get in a quality, interesting workout without leaving my house. If I had to pack my gym clothes, find babysitting, travel to the gym, etc. – I’d never make it.
At the moment I’m using My Fitness Coach, and I love it. It tracks my goals and my fitness level, adjusting as I need it. I can’t wait to try out EA Sports Active – it sounds like a great game and a great workout!
I love that one of the exercises is jumping :)
I would really like to try something like this to supplement the gym- I have been having a hard time getting there with the kids being home sick from school, so it would be nice to get in the habit of doing a few games each night.

I love that I can still get in some exercise while my kids are sleeping with exergaming – my hubby travels ALOT for work (he’s in switzerland this week) and if it weren’t for my wii I’d never get any exercise.

I currently use wii fit and love it as it allows me to exercise when ever I have the time, even late in the evenings (and no waiting for exercise machines at the gym.) I love the idea of the kickboxing in EA active, as this is a great form of exercise.
I have been eagerly awaiting this releases since end of 2007.
My girls and I would love to win this because it would greatly benefit our health and lives. I am trying so hard to teach them about the effects of long term exercise habits. Being that I homeschool them and we only have one vehicle, it is difficult to motivate them to do anything other than outside play. When we play sports games they don’t even realize they are exercising. Thanks & God Bless
It really looks like it will add a little fun and variety to a normal, regimented routine.
I have Wii Fit and lover exergaming because it is easy, can be done at home on my own time and it is effective. I’ve lost 20 lbs since I’ve starting. I can’t wait to try EA Sports Active.
I love exergaming because it makes exercising so much more fun. I’ve used Yourself!Fitness (for the Xbox), Wii Fit, and the Wii Sports games to be active during the day.
I like it because I can do it on the days that I don’t go to the gym, even when the weather is too nasty to go outside. Exergaming has already helped me to have better balance and a better constitution. EA Sports Active would be a great addition to my home exercise routine!
Thanks for running the contest, it’s fantastic to have the chance to win.
I Twitted the contest, too: http://twitter.com/ContestsGuide/statuses/1612883948 Good luck!
I like that there is finally something that makes exercising fun!
I subscribed by email, too.
i like that People can share the same workout experience without being in the same room or working out at the same time.
I love the idea that this can be done in the privacy of my home!
This would be a great addition to the workouts I already do.
Exer-gaming is one of my favourite new ways to get in shape. I particularly like the feedback it provides on weight and BMI and (in the case of Wii Fit, anyway) just how much fun it makes certain “exercises” – like hulahooping or step aerobics. I’ve read a glowing endorsement of EA Sports from Allison Sweeney (host of “Biggest Loser”) and I think that if she works in proximity of the trainers Bob & Jillian and is endorsing this exergame, then the trainers must also approve of them, at least tacitly.
I’m an exergamer. I’ve been playing Dance Dance Revolution for almost five years, first for fun then worked my way up for exercising. I play DDR for my cardio, burning 600+ kcal each time. For people who love fun, addictive games while wanting to get active, I highly suggest playing DDR. It’s also nice to have if you’re uneasy with working out in public.
We have the Outdoor Challenge for the Wii and love it! I would love to win this for the rainy days here in the Pacific NW. Anything to bring exercise to the kids would be welcomed!
I love exergaming because I work full time, have 3 small girls at home and I am a full time student so working out outside the house is about next to impossible. I need something that I can do quickly and actually enjoy….because let’s face it, if I don’t enjoy it I won’t do it! So exergaming combines fun and exercise.
I subscribed to the feed.
The best thing I like about exergaming is that it takes the drudgery out of working out & actually makes it fun.
I am a huge advocate of exergaming! I am almost 30 pounds lighter since starting my WiiFit 336 days ago! You mentioned that once you unlock the various levels there is no longer a challenge. I disagree…For the step aerobics, I pulled out my step and set the balance board on that, eventually adding the second level to my step. And I’ve incorporated light hand weights as well.
I love the convenience of being able to workout on my schedule. I also love the instant feedback given by the game. And I laugh at the light scolding the “Board” gives me if I’ve missed a couple/few days. ;-)
I had read about the EA Sports Active a month ago and I’m very excited about it. This is one game I want to purchase as soon as it comes out!
This looks great
It can be really fun. My family loves to play Wii fit together. For some of us it is the closest we get to exercise. Since we have friendly competition (most times) it helps us to be active without complaint. I’m really looking forward to getting a new game for us.
I’ve subscribed to your blog through email.
I am a diabetic and using the Wii Fit exercise system for the last years, I have lost 72 pounds. This would make a good variation for me, I could do the Boxing Game every one day and I would be the thirty days challenge.

Amendment to last post. We love to play Wii Sports together. I guess since I’ve wanted Wii Fit for a while, I slipped up.
I tweeted

Corrections: I just finished today’s workout and my fingers are a little unsteady. I have lost 72 pounds in one years of using the Wii Fitness program. If I varied it with the Boxing Program, I could win the Boxing programs challenge. These are terrific ways to get fit & stay fit while having fun.

I blogged about the giveaway.

I like Exergaming because I’m embarassed to work out in front of other people. With Exergaming, the only one that sees me is my cat, and she’s not saying a word!

I have tryed Wii,I loved it. Would like to try yours. Thanks
Makes exercising fun–almost.
it beats just sitting there on the couch and playing
What a cool prize. I would love to win this. I enjoy exergaming – it’s so engaging that you don’t notice that you’re working.
it makes us couch potatoes to have some bit of exercise every now and then.
I like playing video games so mixing in a bit of excercise with it makes it a bit easier to stay in shape.
It looks like the next logical step in the agoraphobification of Americans.
I like exercising on my Wii Fit because it’s fun and because I can get the kids to do it with me. At my health club, the kids are only allowed to use the pool, they are not allowed to use the workout equipment at all. When we use the Wii Fit at home, the kids will get up and work out with me, and it makes it fun. I’d like to see the Wii put out more workout games that are fun. Another benefit is that it brings us together as a family in a fun way!
I don’t feel like I am in the middle of a tedius workout if I am exergaming. :)

I like exergaming because it makes it fun to work out.
I like the fact that it is so fun, and the time goes by very quickly. It keeps me interested so I continue to do it.
Totally enjoy exergaming. Work out every day now that I have Wii Fit. Great fun and very rewarding, too. Got my Wii Fit age down from 74 to 50 in just a few days. Love it!
Would like to try this, seems like fun.
I need entertaining incentive. This gives it to me. Please accept my entry. Thank you.
What I like about exergaming is that I can create customized workout routines that work the upper and lower body and can also incorporate resistance bands as well. Would love to give this a try-thanks for the opportunity!
