EA Sports Active is supposed to be like having a personal trainer right in your living-room.
This is what they put on Amazon.co.uk
EA Sports Active: Personal Trainer (Wii): Amazon.co.uk: PC & Video Games
"Active Fitness Made Fun & Easy— Workouts feature variety and familiar activities that target upper body, lower body as well as cardio. Start off with a run, followed by bicep curls and get your heart beating with some cardio boxing. Get fit and have fun in minutes a day!
Benefit of a Trainer in a Box—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
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
Wii Balance Board Compatibility—Get more out of your EA SPORTS Active workout using a Wii Balance Board with added functionality and physical benefits for many exercises."
You can do 30 day challenges or put your own workouts together.
You have a leg strap to wear which the nunchuck fits into for certain activities and a resistance band which you stand on and pull to do some of the other activities. I like making some of my own workouts to follow as I have one set up with activities in where no resistance band or leg strap are actually needed.
You can even do stuff with someone else, and there calories burned etc are also kept, which is something I really liked.
The boxing and baseball are my favourites (boxing is much better then on the Wii Fit)
And if you ever get bored of this there is EA Sports more workout, and also EA Sports Active 2 (the latest edition) which is coming out sometime next month, and is said to be a much more updated version including (amongst other things) a heart rate monitor and the chance to track your progress online. Its a little more pricey then the first two though.
Sorry for waffling on
anyway its worth a try especially if your looking for something more like a proper gym workout (not sure anything could really beat a real gym). I prefer it to the Wii Fit but my hubby actually prefers the Wii Fit as you don't have to fiddle with putting leg straps on all the time and he thinks its more simple, to each there own.
