So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

EA Sports Active - The Virtual Gym

By Carl Ferguson

Wii Fit started the fitness craze, and EA Sports Active definitely picks up on that with this game. This game, EA Sports Active, provides what so many people really wanted with the Wii Fit. It provides an entire program for working out, complete with various exercises you can use. No, it is not like having a personal trainer or heading to the gym, but for a game, it definitely provides a great way to work out and get fit.

Because of the mass appeal it has, there is no doubt that EA Sports Active will be a huge hit. Whether you enjoy sports, you like doing cardio, strength training is your thing, or you want to focus on flexibility, there are exercises for you included in this exciting game. After all, this is what has made these types of games so popular. No matter whether you are a kid or a bit older, you can still play this since there are no restrictions on age for the game.

It makes a movement in the opposite direction of most gaming consoles. With other consoles, you grab a soda and a snack and sit down in your favorite chair for hours of laziness. With the Wii (and this game in particular) you're up off the couch burning calories. If you're not in shape, this game will probably make you wish you would have stayed in shape. The introductory workout will definitely leave you in a pool of sweat in most cases.

The big draw of this game is the vast variety of exercises that you can utilize. The big problem with most workout programs in real life is that you get tired of them. Whenever you saw that workout machine on the infomercial, it looked great. You swore that you were going to be able to use it every day religiously for the next 10 years. Then after a month, you started making up excuses to get out of it. The same thing goes for the gym membership that you bought on January 2nd. You'll never run into that problem with EA Sports Active.

Once you get tired of an exercise, you can pick one of the many others available. If you want to work on the speed bag, you can do it. Then maybe you can go on to work on a jump serve playing volleyball. You can go and start jogging on track right away as well. Maybe you aren't into sports. There are strength training workouts you can use too. There are particular groups of exercises too, such as for your lower or upper body.

You can actually customize EA Sports Active, which is one of the great benefits to the game. You are able to choose various exercises that will be developed into a workout that is unique for you. You can turn on the game each day and it knows what you have done in the past few days and keeps track of calories burned too.

You can also just do one exercise if that is what you want to do. Of course the 30 day workout program is one of the big values you get with this game. It can give you a workout you can stick with that is easy, difficult, or medium difficulty.

Overall, EA Sports Active is a great tool to get in shape or maintain your health. It gives you variety, which is something that real workouts can't always offer. This is a great tool for everyone to use.
