On top of having Osteoarthritis which I'm sure was caused by normal wear and numerous falls when I was younger,  Yes, I admit it, I'm clumsy. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with Rheumatoid Arthritis.  As anyone with both OA and RA will tell you it's hard to get moving and exercise but all the experts say exercise is good for you and it's especially good for those with any type of arthritis.

I must admit though I've never been one for exercise.  I did have a membership to Bally's when it was known as the Chicago Health Club and I joined Curves but only went twice. I even went to Jazzercise.  The problem is I never kept up with it. I always found something else to do rather than go to the gym.

I now realize that I need to exercise more or should I say I need to exercise period to be able to increase my stamina and flexibility so I was happy when the people at EA Sports sent me their EA Sports Active More Workouts with the accessory pack which includes the leg strap and resistance bands.  This is not like exercising at all but more of a challenge where you can see your progress and have fun at the same time.  If you want to read my opinion of this fun and challenging activity for the Nintendo Wii you can read it here.

I would recommend the EA Sports Active Personal Trainer and EA Sports Active More Workouts for everyone whether you're an exercise fanatic or have an exercise phobia like me.
