This game is a great way to get moving and have fun! The only drawback is that there are no long distance running. The jumping lunges are really tough and work your leg muscles.
What's great about it: Really works the muscles in your legs
What's not so great: Exercises are all fairly short

This "game" provides a great workout that is comparable to going to a gym and participating in an exercise class. The different combinations of exercises for each workout works muscle groups the same way a trainer would. Some days, the emphasis is on lower body, on others it is on upper body. Also, the capability of editing the workouts, even in the 30 Day Challenge gives some versatility.
The resistance band is only so-so but can be augmented by shortening it (have som slack between your feet). I've thought of getting a new resistance band for a greater workout.

I just started my 30 day challenge last night. Great workout and I didnt get bored! I'm left-handed and it was a bit tricky at first to get used to as the game is geared towards 'righties'. A great upgrade would be to put an option and to make working out a little less challenging for us 'southpaws'.
What's great about it: Easy to follow, good price
What's not so great: a bit tricky for left-handers

I really do like to program, more of a program than it is a game. Would like to be able to select an activity like tennis, roller blading or running that I could do for a longer period of time without stopping. I do like that you can keep track of your eating and exercise habits, but would be nice to be able to keep track of weight like in the Wii Fit.
What's great about it: fun and entertaining...can create your own workout combinations
What's not so great: Activities are not long enough to select one activity for extended period.

So I have only had this for two days and between alternating with this game and the wii fit for the yoga stretches i have lost two pounds in two days. It is very easy to use and understand and it also gives you great feedback. I recommend this for people who may be a little shy in the gym, or in front of others period, and for those who may not have time or gas to get to the gym. I think it's wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's great about it: Easy to understand, great motivation
What's not so great: sometimes when the nunchuck is in the leg strap it doesn't read movement

Overall, Active is one of the best games I have ever owned. I was in between of buying this or My Fitness Coach and I was persuaded by the Sales Associate to buy Active. I'm so glad I did. The range of exercises is great from variety to level of difficulty.
The trainers say motivating things & when you are slacking on the exercises, they let you know. You can also make your own custom workout that includes any & everything you want.
I started my 30 day challenge yesterday and cant wait to go back home and play again. Its a game but trust me, you will get sweaty and you WILL get a workout. My body is definitely feeling the affects of the workout from yesterday.
If you are on the edge of buying this, I say DO IT! Great Investment!!!
What's great about it: easy set up, creative exercises, motivating trainers, easy to learn & do
What's not so great: Music sucks, workouts could be longer
