active: Personal Trainer (Wii)

As some of you are aware, I purchased this as a treat to myself with my amazon vouchers through Dooyoo- thanks to all that contributed 1.5p's! Ive had it a while now and must say that straight away you can feel this is more of a workout than the wii fit (although im yet to try the fit plus). The box comes complete with the disk, instructions, a leg strap and a resistance band. You then require your own wii remote and nunchuck and if you have one, you can also incorporate your fit board. I must admit that when I received it I just wanted to stik the disk in and exercise but you really must give yourself time to create your profile, ...  Read the complete review

EA Sports Active is one of the latest fitness games to be released on the Nintendo Wii. ~ In the Box ~ EA Sports Active comes in a flimsy box (I say flimsy as ours was sent via post from Play.com and arrived very squashed!) with a red resistance band and a leg strap that holds the Nunchuck in place when doing various exercises. ~ The Game ~ The game has many features in which you can take part including a 30 day challenge and even make up your own fitness regime. Most of the workouts will last around 30 minutes and has three intensities - easy, medium and hard. I would advise starting on medium unless you are super fit as some of ...  Read the complete review

If you look back through reviews I have written you will appreciate that about 18 months ago I decided to get fitter and healthier and just over a year ago I bought myself Wii Fit. I enjoyed that when I first got it and to be fair it did set me on the road to exercising more and losing a bit of weight but after a time it gets boring and working out with it is quite slow. I then moved on to My Fitness Trainer so it isn't surprising that when EA Sports Active came on the scene I would be willing to give that a go too. It is designed for use with the Wii and you have the option of using the balance board that comes with Wii Fit or not using it so you don't need ...  Read the complete review

As a working mother, I had despaired of ever finding time to get myself into shape, so when I heard about the release of EA sports Active, I knew I just had to give it a go. There are over 50 different exercises to do, which include cardio workouts, such as running, boxing and tennis, as well as toning exercises, such as lunges, bicep curls, lateral shoulder raises, and more. It includes pre-set workouts, which show you the time and projected calorie burn, and also the option to make custom workouts yourself from the 50 min-exercises. In my opinion, the game's best feature is the 30 day challenge. During the Challenge, you follow pre-set exercises for two ...  Read the complete review

Fanfare please. Why thank you and would you kindly take your seats as I prepare for my 50th (tada) review. First things first I must confess to being a bit of a doughnut. I typed in EA Active in the search bar and was rewarded with a big fat zero. I was quite amazed and thought it was sure to be on here. So, venturing bravely into the unknown I made my first suggestion. Soon after I pondered on what would be a fitting review and glanced under Wii. What do I see? Said game staring back at me under a slightly different moniker. Oh well, sorry Dooyoo but I did type in the correct product name :D Anyway, without further ado I think we'd best ...  Read the complete review
