A fun exercise?

Today I told myself I had to start working out today, but I have no desire to go out in the heat. I plugged in my roommates Wii and started up Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum 2009. The exercises definitely got my heart rate up and wore out my muscles, but I didn't really like the format of the game. First, I didn't like the comments she made. Something along the lines of "I couldn't have done that better myself. Oh wait, I probably could." Not exactly the motivation I wanted. Also, I need some sort of guidance. Pick five exercises? Okay. But is the combination right to help me lose weight? Tone up? I don't know. 

Next I threw in good ol' Wii Fit. I love the variety of activities, especially the yoga poses. I also like how exercises are broken up into things like strength training, balance, etc. But again I need more guidance. I don't like picking and choosing random exercises, I'd like to be told what to do! So after a quick Google search I came up with the new EA Sports Active game. I found out from Canadian journalist David Wylie's blog on canada.com, and a number of other places, that the program includes a 30-day challenge to get you started. EA already had 12 people complete the challenge last month with great results! On top of that, they have an online community as added support. 

So basically, following their Web site's advice, I am starting this on June 1st (given that I can find the game). I need some guidance and something to do every day with all this time on my hands. I look forward to this, even if all I gain is a little normalcy in my day!
