EA Sports Active – 30 Day Challenge | Giveaway
June 18, 2009 by admin - Jennifer
Filed under Giveaways
I never thought I would see the day that I would actually look forward to exercising. In fact if you would of told me I would feel that way with EA Sports Active I would have laughed at you and called you crazy. Now I am coming forward to say that I do indeed look forward to the days of exercising. And it’s all thanks to EA Sports Active.
I am now half way through the 30 day challenge and I have never felt better and more energetic in my life! I started on easy as I haven’t exercised in a long time and definitely nothing like what I do in EA Sports Active. I actually feel good about myself and am becoming more of a healthy person by making choices about what I should and shouldn’t eat and drink.
It’s not going to be easy. I decided to make a routine of always using EA Sports Active in my exercising. You would not believe how much there is to do with this program. I started on easy to get my body conditioned to being active, and will complete the first 30 day challenge. After that one is over, I will start a second and go up one level and also start cutting out all that is hindering me in getting in shape like soda and eating only one meal and lots of it. (Going on vacation this weekend and I always blow my diets on vacation that is why I didn’t cut anything out during this first 30 day challenge). Then after the second is completed I will start a third go round on hard and really start toning my body! I am so excited to finally have something that works.
It is great having the trainer on the screen helping you out as you push yourself to new levels. That may be the one thing that keeps me going, having someone tell me that I am doing good. Of course that same trainer also hears my wrath when she says “Your legs will thank you for this” to which I am embarrassed to say that I spew back some not nice words, as if she could hear. 
My husband thinks it is funny that I yell at the TV.
Speaking of my husband, he is very intrigued by this program and the fact that I have stuck with it and look forward to doing it. So much so that he will be getting into shape along with me during the next 30 day challenge. And we are super excited about going down this path together.
My greatest accomplishment in just the 15 days that I have been exercising with EA Sports Active is the fact that I can actually run just because I don’t normally run! In the beginning I was a huffin’ and a puffin’ and would walk the rest of the way, but not anymore. I can run with no wheezing and with energy left to spare. I am most proud of myself for that. And while I have lost 3 pounds (would be more if I had cut out the soda that does absolutely nothing for me) my aim is for at least another 20 and then for the first time in my life I will not only be healthy and fit but so very happy with the progress I have made.
I would love to help one of the Dirty Shirt readers on this same path by hosting a giveaway to win one EA Sports Active game as shown below:

I hope to accomplish what you have – a whole new energy and an improved mood. This past school year I haven’t had a chance to exercise at all. While I haven’t gained a ton of weight my body shape has changed a bit and I have much less energy and am not as perky as I used to me. I’ve started off the summer with yoga to get back into shape slowly and this would really kick me into gear!

I really REALLY hope to be able to get more exercise in while at home! I belong to a gym and go regularly but when I don’t feel like driving over there, I really dread working out at home. The DVDs I have are old and I’m tired of them, it’s always the SAME workout! EA Sports Active could be a different routine every day!

OOh I wanted EA Sports Active as soon as it came out. I love my Wii and this looks way more fun and effective then the Wii fit. I just need to loose a couple of pounds to get fit and daily exercise would be a great mood lifter especially if it was as fun as EA Sports Active.

I exercise on the treadmill but I really need to diversify my workouts because I am definitely in a rut.
We as a family enjoy playing Wii games. If I win, I hope to make the EA Sports Active a part of an exercise routine so I can lose the last (and hardest to lose) pregnancy pounds

As you did, I would like to be able to run again, without the huffing and puffing. I would use this to get back to running or fast walking with the neighbors.

I would utilize this program to commit to 30 days of fitness. I always seem to get distracted and never continue through an exercise program until it becomes routine. After, reading the benefits you got, I am excited about this program.

I am on a quest to reach a goal that I have set for myself. I would like to lose 35 pounds by 12/31/2009, and I think the 30 day Challenge would be a great addition to the changes I’ve already made in my life.
I have a Wii and have been contemplating buying either the EA Sports or the Fit, so if I win this, then I can buy the Fit and have both!

I’ve read on several websites where woman (and men) with Lupus have been able to do this with minimal pain and actually enjoy working out with it again. I’m tired of letting this disease control my weight and I’m ready to do something about it, I just haven’t found much I can do without being miserable while doing it.
