We are getting ready to embark on another odyssey of the 30 Day Shred here at the Sisterhood. I do love me some Shred, but I will be sitting this one out, since it’s not really compatible with my herniated disc problems! I thought it would be fun to write about some of my other [...]

Hey Sisters (and Brothers)!
It’s Melissa (TheDailyMel) sneaking in with a guest post today. As you may remember, I was one of the lucky winners of the new EAS Active More Workouts fitness game for the Wii recently during the big Shrink-a-Versary Giveaway extravaganza. Since I’ve had it for a few weeks now, Lisa asked if I would [...]
More Workouts is the newest fitness game from EA SPORTS Active. Like Personal Trainer, More Workouts guides you through pre-set workouts, just like a personal trainer would in the gym. The beauty is you don’t have to pay personal trainer prices and you can get an amazing workout without ever taking off your pajamas or [...]

Can you remember when exercise became a job? Another box to check off (or ignore)?
I can pretty much pinpoint that moment for me – when I started playing competitive sports in high school. Something about two hours of practice daily, plus games or meets on weekends, and an hour long weight training class during the [...]
EA SPORTS Active chose me as one of the 12 featured challengers for their Active for Life Challenge which begins today! The challenge is centered around their new product, More Workouts, and for the next 6 weeks I will document my journey on the EA SPORTS Active site, and here at the Sisterhood.
In addition, all [...]

Today is the first day of our EA Sports Active 30 Day Challenge for the Wii! Are you ready?
I popped in the disc this morning after I took my son to school. I set my daughter, Emma (A.K.A. My Shadow), up with her own little set of resistance cables and told her she could stand [...]

All of us at the Sisterhood have had the extreme pleasure of trying out the new EA Sports Active Personal Trainer for the Wii.
I have exercised with the EA Sports Active for the last two days and OMG- I am DYING. But in a good way. My muscles are sore beyond [...]
1st Mini-Challenge
The first mini-challenge of the Shrink Into Summer Challenge is geared to those of you who have Wii Fit. We’re going Hula!! Now, I know not all of you have a Wii or a Wii Fit, so maybe this challenge is just the reason you need to go out and get one! You can [...]
[ More ]I am now the proud owner of a Wii, thanks in part to Beth! She scored one for me, since Texas seems to be lacking in the Wiis, and it arrived safely in the mail today! Earlier this week, my Wii Fit arrived too.
I’m ready to join the latest fitness craze and jump start my [...]
Finally after 2 weeks I signed onto the wii fit and I was pleasantly surprised. Down 5.5 pounds!! Although it keeps telling me I’m obese and all, I still really like it.
It didn’t hurt that it called me a yoga master either. I think the wii fit is my new best friend. My goal now [...]
Picture it, Sicily 1942-oh sorry, way too many late night Golden Girls episodes lately. Where was I? Oh yes, picture it:
I go to the gym, pick a machine, turn on my ipod, choose my playlist, put my ear buds in, hit play, stow ipod away in my work out pants pocket, begin work out. Thirty [...]
