    Just found this group here! hello!

    Been using EA Sports Active More Workouts and love it. Wanted to pick up EA 2 and wondering the pros and cons of 2 vs. More Workouts. I like the idea of the heart rate monitor, but it's had some neg reviews on amazon.

    Hey there cinnimonhuski...great to hear you are staying active with the workouts. As far as EASA2 goes...it has a 3 week and 9 week challenge on easy-medium-hard difficulty levels (switchable any time). 70 plus exersices to choose from. Custom and preset workouts are available. The HRM (integral with the arm sensor) is a great tool for sure. If used frequently the batteries need changed every couple weeks as does the leg strap...so I suggest purchasing 8 rechargable batteries so you can always have a set ready to go. It is kind of a pain to have a sensor go down during a workout, but if have batteries ready it is not too big of an issue. Also the Wii remote will lose connection if you don't hit a button or move it around a bit...again not a deal breaker by any means. After using EASA2 program for about year-and-a-half...I recommend it very much. It sounds like you are doing well with "More Workouts". I believe it is a fantastic addition on the journey.

    Thanks for the info! I originally tried the first EA Sport Active but the More Workouts was much more friendly and better graphics. I did the 6 week challenge but then moved on to create my own workouts with Workout on My Own section.

    Seem mot of the negativity comes from the batteries needed for EA 2 as well as the remote losing connectivity.

    I think i will check this out!

    Yesterday...began the 9 week challenge on Easy. It is time to get back in gear and get Active once more. I have been kinda lazy since I conquered my first half marathon. Going to start on Easy and work through the stages. I started with the Fitness Tracker and had a Heart Rate recovery of 59 sec. Though that was pretty good. Those foot fires are a bit easier now since all the running, but still challenging for 90 sec straight...LOL

    Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!! Let's be Active in December team!! Keep up the great work everyone
