"Adequate Workout"

My sister gave me her copy of this game that she won. Overall, I think that it is middle of the road for what it is. It didn't come with the balance board so I used a BOSU trainer to do the walking and running which made it a little more challenging and added a balance aspect to it. I set it to the most difficult level on the 30 day challenge and found that the workouts were a little too easy for me. Of course I have somewhat of a background in strength training and an extensive background in cardio training (running specifically). I consider myself to be in decent shape. I can run for at least 45 minutes at a slow pace (5.0-5.5 mph) with no problem.
However, I still had fun doing the workouts and found that I did get somewhat of a decent workout. The parts that made it too easy for me are the sports parts and the resistance band. The cardio training in the sports (volleyball, tennis, boxing, etc) were not enough movement to get my heart rate up to a decent level. On the other hand, the running, squatting, lunging parts gave me a better cardio workout.
I found the red resistance band that comes with it to be easy for me. It was definitely way too easy for my husband. I went and got heavier bands to do the workouts with. During the strength training workouts with the band, it was annoying when the Wii remote didn't pick up the movement correctly so I would need to sit around until it registered correctly. I don't know if anyone else had that issue.
The music that goes along with the workouts is mediocre. I am a huge fan of good workout music so I wasn't impressed by the selection of music that came with this.
For the capabilities of the Wii, I think that a better game could be made. If either my sister or I had paid money for the game, I think that I would have been more disappointed. Overall, the game is mediocre. It does the job adequately and no more.
I finally found a reason to quit my gym membership. I've been going for 9 years now and I'm tired of the atmosphere. I bought EA Sports Active over the summer and have been using it for 4 1/2 months now without fail. I really enjoy being able to get a good workout at home. This combined with good diet is a nice way to create a routine you can stick to in order to lose some weight and strengthen lower and upper body. It's also a nice way to track diet and eating/sleeping habits. My only complaint is that the music gets a little annoying after awhile as does the trainer's encouragement, but the volume can just be turned down. If you have bad knees, this is not for you. The jumping squats and lunges can be very high impact. Great way to see results quickly though. I'm excited to snowboard this winter now that I feel like I have much better lower body strength.
If you find the resistance band is too weak for you, you can order stronger bands in 6 yard rolls online for very little money and make your workouts harder.
I get so sore! I have a difficult time motivating myself to exercise because I get bored. I decided it would be fun to try either the Biggest Loser or EA Sports wii game and I'm so glad I decided to get this one. I like it much more than I had imagined. I have had this game for 2 weeks now and I still enjoy using it everyday! I'm definately getting a workout and I'm only on the easy settings. My favorite is the target boxing! I would really like to get the EA Sports Active: More Workouts as this game does not have the cool down and the ab work that I think is important. I would definately recommend this game to anyone who wants to have a fun workout at home. My 10 year old son and 13 year old daughter love it too!
It seems that no matter what exercise regime I chose, what day it was on my 30-day plan all I did was lunge after lunge after lunge. The game should really be called EA Sports Lunge. After using the program for two weeks I woke up one morning and my knees now make a very loud "click" when I walk up stairs and are very stiff. Now, far be it from me to argue the quality of lunges but for pete's sake, why so many? I'm most unhappy with this product since if I took the lunges OUT of the regimes I'd be doing 3 exercises and be done in 5 minutes.
All of the positive reviews really hyped me up for this but no one really mentioned the lunges. Besides, squatting would be slightly more productive anyway.
I bought this game as I wanted a great workout that was fun for the Wii. I was looking forward to it considering it had sports like the inline skating and the boxing. But my biggest problem with this game is it does not allow you time to grab the resistance band or put the numchuck in the pocket. It goes from one workout to another without allowing you time to set your controllers down and pick up the band or put the numchuck in the pocket. Also one thing I don't like is that strap for the band around your thigh is huge and keeps wanting to slip down my leg. The trainers think you are not doing the movements when in turn you are trying to adjust the strap or pick up the resistance band. All in all it would be a great workout and you would get great results but it is just too complicated with all the tools you need for it. Less is more when it comes to this workout.

I ordered this to use along with the Wii fit plus. The fit is more fun to do, but the sports active gives a work out you can feel. I can tell the next morning that I worked out.
