| | Description | Developed in collaboration with fitness expert Bob Greene, best known as Oprah's personal trainer, EA SPORTS Active provides a fun, inexpensive and easy to maintain regimen designed to encourage physical fitness and healthy living. A combination of a wide variety of interactive activities and exercises, linked together into an ever-changing circuit training routine targeting the muscles of the upper and lower body, as well as providing cardio for a healthy heart, it is the perfect exercise option for every member of a modern household.  Easy to follow personal trainer. View larger. |  Strength training via resistance. View larger. |  Use leg strap for cardio. View larger. | Gameplay Designed around the standard Wii Remote/Nunchuck tethered controller configuration, EA SPORTS Active's interactive fitness program is more focused on physical activities than previous 'fitness' titles for the Wii, but still challenges you to have fun while developing a more healthy lifestyle. Separated into the three sections of workout, nutrition, lifestyle, and other activity, the user's experience begins with a pep talk from Bob Greene which quickly transitions into the beginnings of action as players set up profiles, choose a virtual personal trainer and enter baseline data like age, weight, gender, fitness goals, etc. Although the nutrition, lifestyle, and other activity sections add a holistic element facilitated by a mix of surveys and data input, building fitness through physical activity is the driving force behind EA SPORTS Active and as such the meat of the content resides in the workout section. Here players will find dozens of themed strength training and cardio workouts which can be customized as you choose and linked into circuit traning routines. These routines are introduced and monitored by your personal trainer, and allow for ongoing player motivation via real-time feedback on your workout form, an approximation of calories burned and the ability to adjust levels of exercise intensity. Accessories Although activity in EA SPORTS Active flows exclusively through the combination of the Wii Remote and Nunchuck controllers, it also utilizes a few additional accessories to maximize the functionality of this configuration. The first of these included with the game is the controller leg strap. By attaching this to their upper thigh and then slipping the Nunchuck controller into it, players can utilize the Nunchuck controller's motion sensing capabilities while it is connected to the Wii Remote to monitor their leg movements. This allows for cardio exercises like jogging and cardio boxing and strength training activities like squats. Also included with the game is a resistance band designed to increase the intensity of a variety of exercises such as bicep curls and shoulder presses and lifts. In addition, although not included, the Wii Balance board is compatible with many EA SPORTS Active workouts, but only as an optional added controller configuration. Key Game Features: - Active Fitness Made Fun & Easy - 20 minute circuits feature a variety of familiar activities that target upper body, lower body as well as cardio. Start off with a light jog, followed by bicep curls and get your heart beating with some cardio boxing.
- Benefit of a Virtual Personal Trainer - Your trainer will be the focal point of the experience guiding you towards your own version of personal achievement. Feedback will be given throughout your workout, keeping you on track to reach your fitness goals.
- The 30 Day Challenge - Take the 30 Day Challenge and experience tailor made 20 minute workouts to your level of fitness. Circuits will change as you progress each day, and EA SPORTS Active will track calories, intensity and progress throughout your journey.
- New Way to Play - Slip the Nunchuk into the specially designed leg strap and hold the Wii Remote in your hand to track your movements from both your upper and lower body. A resistance band is also included to increase the intensity of exercises such as bicep curls and shoulder presses.
- Workout Your Way - Circuits can be customized to your interest and fitness level. Choose your duration, intensity level & set your own goals for calories burned and workout score.
- Workout with a Friend - Burn calories with a friend as you both workout through routines together in a co-operative mode.
- Track Your Progress - Expand your Fitness IQ and keep track of your workouts inside and outside of EA Sports Active with the in-game Journal.
- Wii Balance Board Compatibility - Get more out of your EA SPORTS Active workout using a Wii Balance Board with added functionality for many of exercises.
Co-op Multiplayer Mode Along with its single player experience, EA SPORTS Active also features a deep and entertaining two-player cooperative gameplay mode. Designed to tap into the time tested motivational factor of having a workout buddy beside you as crunch through reps and up your personal best, regardless of a player's current fitness levels or future fitness goals, this mode is sure to enhance the level of fun of players at all levels.

much more of a workout Jan 08, 2010
By M. Wolf I've played some with Wii Fit Plus with Balance Boardand found it to be a gentle workout. The EA Sports Active allows for a much more intense workout. I was shocked at how much I felt the workout the day after in my legs (thanks to squats and lunges).
While yes it is at times hard to get the sensor to register that is also a function of how well / poorly I do the activity. If I moved out of the squat or the lunge too early or moved too rapidly for the activity it did not register. Basicly you have to do the activity "correctly" and no cheating allowed. While at times frustrating this is also exactly what I have been looking for. A workout game that ensures I am doing it correctly and not shorting myself on the workout.
Like another reviewer has stated the leg pouch does not stay put easily. I am still trying to find a way to keep it in place but I really like the feedback it gives.
I bought this becasue it was on a lightning deal - not because it being a breast cancer awareness edition. When buying anything for a 'cause' I am very careful about where I put my dolllar and I quite often use the phrase 'think before you buy pink' when looking at breast cancer awareness products.
For a good workout I highly recomend this product -- be aware though that it takes a bit to get the hang of it.

Great Wii game/exercise. Nov 30, 2009
By T. Hollis My wife loves this. Also, my kids (6 and 4) think it's a blast, too. If they aren't working out with mom, they are working out with each other.

Good but could be better Dec 27, 2009
By Mark Jt Payette Their leg strap has a hard time staying up on my hamstring... I tried both shorts and track pants and no luck. Decided to use a bobby pin for the extra support. Game play could be better... Several of the exercises would not register my movement and this was a pain... When it did work, it was fun...

Not only do they love the game, but it is really giving them a good workout! They are always red in the face and sweating upon completion. It has a good variety of activities to do.
