EA Sports Active

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

I find that when it comes to exercise, there are those that are fanatical about exercise and those that absolutely loathe it - I happen to fall right smack dab in the latter. In fact, I’m not sure you could even find someone who despised exercise as much as myself. Don’t get me wrong, there’s definitely physical activities I enjoy such as hiking and swimming but I dare say you will never find me sweating it out at the local gym.

So needless to say, I was intrigued when Nintendo released the Wii and even more excited to learn about EA Sports Active, an interactive workout program that bridges the (very large) gap between gym and home. Users can choose from a variety of different workouts for just a single session or start a complete 30-day challenge. Each workout can be customized and can encompass various exercises such as boxing or bicep curls.

What’s better than working out in your own home? How about working out in your home with an entire program that guides you step-by-step to the perfect bikini bod? Click here to read more EA Sports Active for the Wii.

Are You Making these Weight Loss Mistakes?

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Dieting - Did you know that dieting can be a huge weight loss mistake since it can foster behavior and eating habits that actually cause you to gain weight? Dieting often entails cutting out all your favorite foods and skipping meals, which can lead to caving in and binge eating. Instead of strict dieting, try just eating more healthy foods that you enjoy - fresh fruit, raw veggies with low-fat dip, whole-grain toast, turkey and avocado sandwiches, salad, etc.

Skipping Breakfast - There’s a reason you’re mom always told you breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Your body needs food to keep your metabolism high - the higher your metabolism, the more calories you’re body will burn. Providing your body with fuel early in the day will keep your metabolism high and burn more calories than if you hadn’t eaten breakfast.

Not Keeping Track of your Efforts - Recording your successes and failures when it comes to losing weight will help you stay on track to achieve your goals. Write down everything you eat so you can pinpoint areas of improvement (and you’ll be less likely to overeat). Take before and after pictures of yourself every time you reach a minor weight loss goal.
