First Look: Virtual Personal Trainer for Mums

Amber Robinson

61.4% of women say they don’t have time to exercise, according to a recent survey, so anything that brings exercise opportunities into the home has to be a good thing, right?

EA Sports Active – Personal Trainer is a Wii game which allows mums to to design a tailor-made fitness program, set and achieve fitness goals, and track their progress in real time – without having to find a gym with a crèche.

Take that, parents-with-pram parking stealer!

It’s not being released until later in the month (for an RRP of $99.95), but if you want to try out your kickboxing skills in the privacy of a shopping mall, EA sports are running an Active Challenge at Westfield Stores across NSW in June:

• Liverpool: 3rd- 7th June
• Hornsby: 10th- 14th June
• Mt Druitt: 17th- 21st June
• Hurstville: 24th- 28th June

Prizes up for grabs include exclusive fitness packs incorporating EA Sports Active – Personal Trainer software, resistance bands, fitness leg straps and Nintendo Wii consoles.
