from Fairfax, VA

I liked this product so much - and it really did help with my fitness goals, that I gave it as a Christmas present to family members.

What's great about it: You do a workout at your own pace and have fun - not boring

I would recommend this to a friend!

LOVE IT!!

My husband bought me this as a Christmas gift in an attempt to rejuvinate my work outs. I was actually a little disappointed as I usually don't play video games. However, I read the reviews an decided against taking it back. I'm so glad I didn't return it. This is the best workout I've had in a long time! I'd previously "worked out" using the WII Fit and balance board and barely broke a sweat BUT EA Active had me sweating bullets within minutes. I love that you can customize the workouts or do preset workouts. I've only been using the game for 2 weeks and I'm beginning to see a difference in my body already. This is insane! The only thing that I don't like is that the WII remotes aren't wireless but that's not EA's fault. And also, the remote sometimes has a hard time reading your position.

What's great about it: Great workout

What's not so great: nothing so far

I would recommend this to a friend!

Great workout-minor problems

on January 24, 2010

I use My Fitness Coach and wanted some variety, so I got this product. Very easy to use and the exercise variety is great. Some of the arm strengthening exercises seem to have communication breakdown between the Nunchuk and remote, so the trainer either thinks you're not doing the exercise correctly or not at all. The cord connecting the Nunchuck to the remote sometimes creates a hazard for you when working out, so I'm hoping a wireless Nunchuk is in Wii's future. I would like to be able to select work out days for the 30 day challenge, since I can't make my work out on all the preselected days. Overall, great workout!

What's great about it: Ease of use, variety

What's not so great: Communication between Nunchuk & remote

I would recommend this to a friend!

Not my favorite

on January 26, 2010

Posted by: Ragdoll2009

from Frederick, MD

There is a lot of variety of exercises.....so it can keep you interested. And the exercises can be fun and different then just the normal aerobic work outs. I have only tried it working out w/ my spouse....but it can be really frustrating. If it doesn't p/u your movements...you don't advance on. Sometimes you have to really be dramatic and forceful w/ your movements which is unnatural in exercise. You also have to have the controller and numchuk just perfect to pick up the exercises accurately. I felt there was a lot of technical issues when working out w/ 2 people. I haven't tried it alone. I didn't find all the exercises as challenging as I had hoped...but it would be a great tool for someone who is a couch potato and wants to get moving.

What's great about it: Variety, work out w/ a friend, can pick your avatar

What's not so great: Doesn't always p/u your movements, can be difficult w/ 2 people

I would recommend this to a friend!

The Wii Active will give you a great work out! I had not worked out in years, but once I started with the easy 20 min exercises, I stayed motivated the whole time. Im addicted to it now. It's funny that I look forward to going home to work out. Best of all I don’t have to go to the gym and still get the same type of exercise in the comfort of my own home. It fits perfect into my busy work schedule. Just 20 min! Who knew it would make such a difference. I feel more energized and in just 2 weeks I can tell my clothes are fitting a bit loose. My next goal will be to take the 30 day challenge.

What's great about it: Easy to set up and use. Great workout!

What's not so great: None

I would recommend this to a friend!
