I know how much it costs to go to a gym. Wouldn’t it be nice to keep that money in your pocket and have the ability to work out at home, and keep your money for other things for yourself, your home, your family? When I was going to the gym, I was paying at least $50/month, then I had the luxury of having a gym at my job. Well, ever since we moved, I am a stay at home mother, living in a small town. I do not have an option to go to a gym. EA Sports Active is perfect! I can work out in my home, sweat it up, and know that I am doing what I am supposed to be doing wiht my workouts because I have my personal trainer telling me just that.

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO MAKE IT TO THE GYM?
It’s not that Americans want to be inactive; it’s just that there are multiple barriers to entry.

A 2007 study linked parenthood to a significant decrease in physical activity levels, with men working out nearly 4.5 fewer hours per week and women working out 1.3 fewer hours per week. *Source: University of Pittsburgh
A recent poll asked those surveyed what, besides lack of time, stands in their way of going to the gym. 46 percent said that gyms are just too crowded, while 19 percent felt they’d be the only ones who aren’t already in good shape. *Source: American Council on Exercise (ACE)

RESOLVING TO GET HEALTHY: HEALTH AND EXERCISE IS THE NUMBER ONE GOAL
Getting healthy to look and feel better is a top goal for many Americans around the New Year, but according to a recently published study by the University of Scranton, whether it happens or not is another story:

40 to 45 percent of American adults make one or more resolutions each year.
While 75 percent of individuals stick to their resolutions in the first week, less than half are still committed to their goal after six months.
