I just got this for the PS3 and I must say I did a 10 minute workout and it kicked my a**. I like how it has tons of workouts some that I don't even know how to do. It also comes with resistance bands...not sure if they are any good yet. The heart rate monitor is cool and it tracks how many calories you are burning. Before you set a workout it will estimate how many calories you will burn and how long it will take. You really need to be careful though...I set up way too many lower body activities in a row and my legs are killing me (...lunges...brutal)

The only issue I have so far is that I live in an Apartment so movement can be difficult (I tried to jump and smashed my hands on the ceiling...can't really do the BBall shooting workout...

Does anyone else have this? what do you guys think of it?

Hey :waving:

I have this for the PS3 too. I got it on release day.
Having lost quite abit of weight with the first one for the Wii, it made common sense for me to buy the second one. I had a few issues with the HRM but got them sorted. :)

I'm using it until I can go gym (end of the month) but i'm not feeling it as much as the first one, I agree it does kick your butt though, space is an issue, especially when doing the floor exercises for me but its pretty decent.

Yes the lunges kill haha, squats also, the one where you have to hold the squat position is intense too.

I've been advised to change the resistance band as its not that good, but haven't got round to doing that yet.

Have you joined a EA Sports Active 2 group yet? Where your part of a group and you can help motivate each other by completing workouts?

Nevertheless a good workout. :)

Im looking at getting this for the Xbox360 Kinect so its nice to know people have had results!

Just a point - Be wary of the 360 version simply because and this is all over the EA Sports Active 2 discussion boards people are still having problems with the Kinect registering some of their exercises, especially the ones that involve being on the floor.

Also with issues with the Kinect voice command interrupting exercises and whatnot, but hopefully there is a patch for those issues as such.

Nevertheless its a good product, ^^
 
I am sort of shocked at how worn out I get from the workouts I create. It really does push you. The lunges and squats are so brutal. I haven't tried the resistance bands yet...will be trying those tomorrow.
