Ok, so I bought EA Sports Active and started the 30 day challenge. I figured I would start on intense, and 10 minutes in I could hardly stand as day 1 they decided to focus on my legs and do way to much squatting. So I restarted on medium intensity and was ready to quit with 3 exercises left this morning. I'm going to push through on medium intensity.
Overall I really like it and I like the variations in exercises, even if a lot of them are just small variations on something else you could be doing (for example, side lunges with reaching down to your foot rather than just side lunges).
My only real complaint so far is that it makes you stay still before returning to your starting position. While this will make your exercises more intense and worthwhile, it is highly irritating when you are on the last couple reps and you are at the point of failure and can't stay steady. It refuses to accept that last rep you squeezed in there and makes you do it again. This is mostly a problem for side lunges, squats and other related exercises. I guess if I didn't squat as deep I could make it through easier, but I'd rather go for the higher intensity moves.
