We purchased this the day ir came out our family has been using the WII fit since christmas and thought it was a good product for winter activity but most activities weren't all that challenging. The ACTIVE set up is awesome your legs will be burning guaranteed everyone in my house was shocked at how much it worked you. I would highly reccomend this product it's fun to use and the trainers keep you motivated. My wife and I each dropped 70lbs this year and are thrilled to have found another tool to help keep us active and the weight off.

What's great about it: pushes you and keeps you motivated

What's not so great: makes you really sweat

I would recommend this to a friend!

Great workout with the 30 day preset workout. Really broke a sweat. Fun sport activities with tennis, boxing, volleyball etc.

What's great about it: Easy to follow routine and breakdown of the exercise

What's not so great: Not much focus on weight control, just training.

I would recommend this to a friend!

Great workout

I love this game, but my husband has problems with it because he is left handed and wants to hold the remote in his left hand, which causes problems with some of the activities. I get a good workout and love that you can choose what you want to do. Also great that you can work out with a friend. Haven't tried it with the Fit board yet, just trying to get used to it normal at first.

What's great about it: Fast paced workout schedule

What's not so great: Hard for left handed people to get used to

I would recommend this to a friend!

Fun workout

My husband got this game for himself and I was hesitant to use it but once I did, I just had to stick with it. I am doing the 30 day challenge and love it. THe workouts can be as long or as short as you want them to be and I hope to continue to improve each workout. The trainer is motivating but can be a bit too much at times. This is not intended to be for the intense workouts that you get at the gym, but more as a supplement. If you are new to working out or not into hard core work out, I think this is game for you.

What's great about it: easy to follow, encouraging, set your own goals, keeps track of your progress

What's not so great: cheesy sayings

I would recommend this to a friend!

EA Sports Active delivers!

on June 2, 2009

Posted by: Pitt

from State College, PA

This was one of the best purchases I have made in some time. EA Sports Active gives you a great workout while allowing you to enjoy your time working out. It makes me sweat every time I use it and i really feel a difference, especially in my legs. There aren't many workouts for the abs, but the emphasis on cardio probably helps with that anyways. i haven't used Wii Fit, but I can't imagine it being better than EA Sports Active.

What's great about it: Easy to use, cheaper than Wii Fit

What's not so great: Lack of Abdominal Workouts

I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Workout

I bought this product one week ago. Since then I have started the 30 day challange and have worked out 4 times (you really only work out 20 of the 30 days, they plan for rest days.) I have already had people ask me if I'm losing weight. It does everything from running to inline skating to boxing and lunges. I break a sweat every time I use it. I think it is much better then my Wii Fit, on that I had to rely on myself to come up with a work out routine. With my Active it already has them all planned out for me with no two days the same so I don't get bored. The exercises only last 1-2 minutes each so you arn't doing the same thing for 20 minutes straight. I love it and would recommend it to anyone, young or old!

What's great about it: Easy to use, Good instructions, Great Workout

I would recommend this to a friend!

good workout when it works

on June 3, 2009

Posted by: fefewa

from houston tx

I purchased this over the weekend and started the challenge on monday. I really look forward to the workout, but get frustrated when the controller or nunchuck does not pick up my movements. i have to say go out and buy your own resistance band, because the one it comes with is too easy. Overall i am enjoying it and am looking forward to the expansion pack. Music and background kinda boring....

What's great about it: fun and motivating

What's not so great: does not always pick up movement

I would recommend this to a friend!

A WONDERFUL, customized workout...

on June 5, 2009

Posted by: YogaBabe

from New Jersey

This is a great Wii accessory.. I love it. I has my favorites.. squats, dancing, boxing, and volleyball! And many more exercises to choose from.

What's great about it: you can set goals and customize workouts or just use the preset ones..Easy to use and inexpensive...

What's not so great: sometimes the nunchuck does not pick up your lower body movements.. it can be very annoying..

I would recommend this to a friend!
