This is embarrassing, but it cannot be gainsaid: EA Sports Active has kicked my ass.

luminousmarble got a Wii for her birthday, and I've sort of been poking at it a bit. Wii Sports is kind of fun and kind of silly. That new Mario game is definitely silly, but also hilarious. And I've been watching Marbles do this EA Sports Active cross-training game, and ( Read more... )

This entire post makes me snicker. Mostly in appreciation, and only a little bit about the Wii. :D

You are only a little bit one mean lady, then. Hmph.

Well, you can snicker at me because I just played too hard. :((

Aw. Stretching. And an ice bath!

EA Active Sports is brilliant but oh, the squats. Being unfit and overweight they're also not ideal for my knee-joints. Everything else, though, just works for me and I can sweat in peace without the scrutiny of other people. *thumbs up*

I know! And why must there be so many?!

I am a huge proponent of working out in the privacy of one's own home. Then I can spend far less time worrying about what I'm wearing and if I have sweated mascara down my face. *nods firmly*

5. Sometimes too sugary to eat (or too shortening-y, which I don't imagine to be a problem if you are making them).

5. Except that I was going to delegate the making thereof to someone else. :P But I kind of figured that I'm not much of a cupcake fan and I would still think cupcakes were a pretty good thank-you gift, so maybe they'd be a good bet for someone else.

Certainly I think people appreciate them, even if they don't end up eating them. Also, my reaction might be skewed by locale. :)

You made me check out some EA Sports Active reviews. I think I'll be picking it up.

Good luck with the squats!

The only thing I'm finding annoying is that it sometimes has a hard time recognizing the movement (or lack thereof) of the remote/nunchuk. I figure it's just making me work harder, but it might really drive you up a wall.

Fair enough. :) I, too, have ached for daaaaaaays, but mostly just in a muscle or two. Definitely was fun!

:)) Cupcakes it is, under the theory that if they don't appreciate the cupcakes that is proof of this person's general suckiness.
