Inside Slump

This is a whine post to a certain extent. I recognize that and own it. You don’t want to read it? Ok, move along to other peppy posts.
I’m not blah about working out, as it’s become an integral part of my life again. I’m not concerned about the eating, as it’s generally healthy and in check. The running is back on track, as outlined yesterday, now that I have a way to shower and get warmed up afterward. It’s an exercise video game thing.
Today is Zumba Fitness day. I put in my requisite time. But I’ve got to admit, just as we’re hitting weather that encourages inside video game exercising, I’m hitting a boredom blah place with the games. I like everything I’ve used thus far, but I need a new challenge. I’ve gone online looking for it, that magic game that’ll get me going again…I just can’t find it. Could it be that I’m missing some other kick butt workout? Is the magic sparkly game waiting to be discovered and used? If so, please PM me and let me know so that I can try it.
I had thought that I’d try another EASA2 21-day workout. But, ya know, they don’t feel challenging anymore. Perhaps their football series will work. Has anyone tried it? Is it as tough as or tougher than EASA2?
Lego Star Wars: The Video GameImage via WikipediaIn times like these, I generally go back to old faithful – Gamercize stepper with Lego Star Wars. This combo always works for me. And Star Wars keeps me entertained. My issue is that I’m into doing the sport, and want to pretend to be doing sport with the games. I guess I could play a sports game, like Madden, with the stepper, but that’d be playing SOMEONE ELSE playing a game.
I wonder if I’m missing something. Thoughts and suggestions?

  1. EAS Football is pretty much EXACTLY the same as EASA2. We bought it to get another set of sensors so my wife can work out with me, and thought, heck, we'll get a new game to try. The activities are the same, often with the same name but a different setting and the personality of the coach is more gruff and "male". We didn't spend a lot of time with it so maybe if you get deep into it there's a little extra or different, but I doubt it.
