EA Sports Active WII comments

Developed in collaboration with fitness experts, including Bob Greene -- renowned exercise physiologist, author and Oprah's personal trainer -- EA Sports Active is a simple, fun and cost-effective way to achieve a healthy lifestyle. Suitable for the whole family, though designed specifically for women seeking an entertaining way to work out, EA Sports Active features a wide variety of interactive activities combined into a circuit that target both the upper and lower body as well as cardio, and supports two players to allow family or friends to get fit together. The game provides a new level of motivation with on-screen, real-time feedback on your workout such as calories burned, while also allowing you to adjust intensity levels.

The package includes two specially-designed leg straps that hold the Wii's Nunchuk controller to track lower body movements, as well as a resistance band to support a number of upper body strength training exercises. Players can run through the 30 Day Challenge, mode, where each circuit feels different and increases in intensity as fitness levels improve. Users can also create their own custom workouts that vary in activity, duration and intensity, and the Wii Balance Board will add functionality to many exercises.
