Both she and Ellen look so cute running and boxing. This is another perfect example of the competitive but fun two-player mode on EA SPORTS Active.

Being able to work out with a friend in the two-player mode definitely makes things more fun and takes exercising to a whole new level.

My favorite part is the fact that they were both sweating in the end and had only played on medium. The video is a perfect example of how this product is not just for women.

I was blown away at what an amazing group of people I have been blessed to share this truly unique opportunity with. Who knew my love for virtual fitness would lead to an experience such as this.

As I look back, there is not one single moment that I can say was “my favorite.” It was an all-encompassing weekend, everything could be considered a moment to remember. Waking up every morning to breakfast overlooking the ocean, being able to workout while watching a pod of dolphins jump in the near distance, working up such a great sweat on EA SPORTS Active that I had to literally pull my hair back (something I have never done while strength training at a gym), meeting the most amazing group of people that each have their own goals and ambitions, meeting Alison Sweeney and Bob Greene-two incredible individuals that were both so down to earth, the spa treatments, dinners, laughs, cries and hugs…oh, and let me not forget the schwag bag of goodies and toys we were sent home with :)

The first time we were asked to workout on the product, I selected an easy preset workout. After the twenty minutes were up, I felt good, a little sore and had worked up a sweat. The second day, I decided to kick it up a notch and choose the 30-minute hard preset workout. I was most surprised to see how incredibly intense the workout was. I felt great, was out of breath, my legs were shaking and I was dripping in sweat.

On April 18th, the 30 Day Challenge will begin. I am most looking forward to the preset workouts (I am not a personal trainer by any means nor do I know what exercises go hand in hand). I am also looking forward to not having to drive to a gym because I will be able to squeeze in gym time in the comfort of my home. And lastly, I look forward to seeing not only my results (my goal was to tone up) but also watching the results of others. As I mentioned before, we are a great group of people that I know in my heart will encourage one another to get through this, as we showcase EA SPORTS Active to the world.
