Advantages: Easy to set up, a variety of workouts on offer

Disadvantages: The leg strap can work its way loose

I was extremely excited when Wii Fit was launched, and left a little disappointed that it didn't live up to the expectation of actually getting me fit. Active, in contrast, offers a completely different experience, and is the first 'game' I have purchased that has left me as worn out as a workout at the gym.

The 30 day challenge is a useful introduction into the many exercises the game offers, and the challenge of burning a set number of calories to achieve that day's goal ensures you work that bit harder.

The ability to set up customised programmes is very useful, and I have set programmes to target different areas of the body, and cardio workouts.

As a busy mum, Active is exactly what I need as it's quick to set up and get going, and even if I only have 20 minutes to spare, I can still enjoy a good workout.

My only negative point is that the leg strap can sometimes come loose during running, and I have to set it so tight it inteferes with my circulation!

Summary: Definitely worth the money
