EA Sports Active (Wii)

== EA Sports Active Personal Trainer == The Wii Fit has been a hugely popular game, coming with it's famous Wii Balance Board players were doing combinations of balancing exercises, yoga, muscle training and cardio workouts. However, whilst this sounded good, people who were looking for a strong workout may have been disappointed. Wii Fit is fun... but didn't have continous workouts which told you how many calories you may be burning. Then along ...
...to be able to play EA Active. It should be noted that you do need a Nunchuk to play this game, and most Wii owners will have one of these already. If you don't own one you need to purchase one. The game comes with a Leg Strap and a Resistance Band, both of which are used consistently throughout the various workouts. == Set Up == When you first use the game you need to set up your profile. You choose a male or female character and customise their ...

Review of EA Sports Active (Wii)

...it isn't surprising that when EA Sports Active came on the scene I would be willing to give that a go too. It is designed for use with the Wii and you have the option of using the balance board that comes with Wii Fit or not using it so you don't need to have Wii Fit to use EA Sports Active but if you do have the balance board then it extends the range of exercises you can do. ==What is it?== EA Sports Active is an exercise system which works with ...
...Box== I ordered my EA Sports Active from Amazon and it comes complete with a leg strap to allow you to strap the Wii nunchuk to your right leg during exercise (so that it can tell you if you are doing the exercise properly) and a resistance band. You have to put the resistance band together in that you need to attach the loops to the end but that isn't especially taxing and is done in a matter of minutes. The resistance band felt a bit flimsy to ...

Review of EA Sports Active (Wii)

...this it does!! EA Sports Active comes with the game disc, a Wii Nunchuk with a thigh band that tracks running, and a stretch resistance band for lunging and weightlifting. Your own wii remote will be used for such things as throwing and punching. The Wii balance boad is not an essential requirement but i find it is helpful with a number of activities. Th package also has a workout calendar, it can track your calorie losses and even asks questions ...

Review of EA Sports Active (Wii)

I bought the Wii active sports after becoming bored with the Wii fit. I was also looking for a gym membership, but thought I would give this ago first. It is fantastic! The box comes with a resistance band and a leg strap to place the nunchuck into. I have currently started the 30 day challenge, where I am completing workouts with my new personal trainer. So far I have completed a high intensity workout which was very challenging, so definately for ...

Review of EA Sports Active (Wii)

I bought the wii active as I wanted to get into shape and loose some weight. I have three children so going to the gym is not really an option.So I bought Wii active, so I could exercise in my free time at home. I have been using it at home now for 3 months and in my opinion have found it to be a very useful and good product. The number of routines one can make for oneself in my opinion are endless. I have created numerous workouts and depending ...
...to work out a specific part of the body or how difficult I want my routine to be, I choose that one I want. The calorie counter is a nice addition in my opinion, as you know how much you have burnt off and can gear a work out to burn off specific amount if you like. There is also the 30 day challenge where the Wii puts you through it's paces. One can choose the difficulty and can customize it to exclude certain activities if you don't want to it. ...

Review of EA Sports Active (Wii)

When I first saw this game advertised, I thought "yet another game claiming to require stamina and strength..blah blah blah." After reading reviews from various other websites I decided to buy it. As I pulled the equipment out of the box my eyes widened...I didn't know games actually used this stuff! I chose the 30 day challenge and boy,I have never done anything as challenging. It really does require strength and stamina. I'm not very unfit or extremely ...
...pains after a few various levels. I carried this on for a few days but after that I gave up. I think I'd much rather take up jogging. This is a great way to get fit and increase strength and stamina as well as patience,but for me,the main aspect causing problems was the effort. I recommend you give this game a try as it conveys to be the best game available for the wii that actually will increase fitness but if you do decide to buy it you may want ...
