This is my final week of EA Sports Active 2 for Wii for quite a while, and I'm feeling a bit of sadness and anxiety about the transition. As these last weeks have catalogued, I’ve come to rely on my cheerful trainer, the ache of yet another set of 75 mountainclimbers, and tremendous numbers of squats and strength sets. Basically, I love to loathe the challenge, the sweat, the tears and the near collapses. EA Sports Active 2 is a superb all around butt kicker for some – for me – and I’ve come to feel very protective of my little healthy desert oasis.
But, alas, the Losing Gamer challenge is not about one particular exergame, it is about exergaming in general and whether video games can be used to help one lose weight and get fit. So next week I move on to The Biggest Loser 2 for Wii. I’ll be starting their 12 week program. While I’ve watched Gillian and Bob kick contestants’ butts on their TV show, I’m concerned that the video game may not live up to the show or EA Sports Active 2, which I love to loathe. Please check back next week as I discuss my overall results using EA Sports Active 2 for Wii as well as my initial thoughts on The Biggest Loser 2 for Wii.
