At 59 years, will be 60 in November, the use of EASA 2.0's Sports Active, and the two iterations before that, have helped me to improve my fitness level and control my type II diabetes numbers. Although I began exercising (walking/aerobic walking) in Feb of 2006 in what I call "intentional walking," my body's composition has changed since beginning exergaming July of 2010. When I switched from my long-time phone provider to a cable company for both phone service and internet connection I received a $200 gift certificate and acquired my Wii on sale, plus added to it WiiFitPlus with the balance board and two exergames, Sports and Resort. Although fun at first, I became bored and ordered DDR3, Walk-it-Out, JustDance, and the first iteration of Sports Active which I fell in love with then ordered More Workouts. Just want you to know that as an Accountant for a Fitness Center whose facilities I don't use (Just don't want to work out where I work nor do I want to get in and out of workout clothes - don't like to go clothes shopping either), being able to get out of bed and begin working out after hydrating, is wonderful. Also has become expense, clothes wise—I’ve dropped from a size 20 to a size 8/10. Weight loss not so much,35 pounds, but picked up muscle mass which I think is most important for a Type II.
