My Post-partum Workout Program

EA Sports Active 2 is available for the PS3, Wii & Xbox360
I’ve been eyeing this for quite a while now to use on my PS3, resisting the urge to buy because of its price tag of $139. I wasn’t sure if this was going to be something that I’d really stick to. I’ve seen a few games similar to this that don’t really work as real workout “games.”
So when I saw that this was going for $59 at a local game store, I grabbed it!
Still I had my reservations.
This consists of a heart rate monitor which is strapped to your left arm, and 2 other sensors that go onto the right arm & right thigh. It comes with a USB receiver which is plugged into the PS3.
I chose the 3 week workout program, which I have to do a minimum of 4 workouts per week. The very first workout lasted 20minutes consisting of 24 exercises from warm-up to cooling down. I haven’t properly exercised ever since my 1st baby so it was really a huge challenge for me.
This morning I woke up with an aching body, more so on my thighs. So I guess it really works. In order to make this a fair experiment, this means I also have to watch my diet. It gets a bit tricky though, as my calorie intake is supposed to be higher due to the fact that I’m breastfeeding.
Let’s see how this goes in a week!
