EA Sports Active: Personal Trainer (Wii)

I love this product, I'm overweight from eating too much and slothing in front of the computer. I have since thought that fitness games would inspire me to get back into fitness like the good old days when I was a teen.Here is what I found between the 3 products I tried out.3rd place Wii Fit:PROS:*tracked progress,*wii fit board takes weight measurements*Slightly tailored sessions*Fun gamesCONS:*The beeps and squeals get tiresome and repetitive (maybe less so for a younger user)*inconsistent readings on how I am performing*Games seem too easy and mostly don't work up a sweat.*limited rest/workout calender.2nd place Fitness coach:PROS*Somewhat inspires me to come back daily*Personal trainer*tracks progressCONS:*limited workout/rest days system*Trainer goes offbeat and makes her/him hard to follow*no rewards*trainer is excruciatingly repetitive*trainer doesn't respond to your actual movement (doesn't use any equipment that feeds your movement into the wii)1st place! EA's ActivePROS:*Detailed Reward system*Tracks progress*each exercise has detailed movement tracking*Uses wii fit board, bands(included), weights, for some exercises*Dietary and lifestyle progress/reporting (if you want it)*great games to distract you from a tough workout -I always feel knackered and well worked after a session but somehow got though it trying to achieve the goals set.*ingenious workout system. Choose to have a number of workouts a week OR hours per week/session OR 30 day challenge with rest days that work around days you need off OR set certain days per weekCONS:*Make sure you have fresh batteries and hold the remotes exactly as shown in the video - often it would catch me out and tell me I wasn't doing the moves right when it was just the way I was holding the remote.*Doesn't measure weight with wii fit board.*Resistant bands supplied were too easy (purchased some more resistant ones).I hope there is some useful info in there for anyone who is undecided.-T

From the moment I first started using EA Sports Active: Personal Trainer, I knew I was in for something special. This isn't just a game; it's a comprehensive fitness program that tailors workouts to my individual needs and goals, making every session feel like a personalized training session with a professional coach.What sets EA Sports Active apart is its versatility. With a wide range of workouts spanning cardio, strength training, and flexibility exercises, I'm never short of options to keep my routine fresh and engaging. Whether I'm craving an intense calorie-burning session or a relaxing yoga flow, EA Sports Active has me covered.The integration of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers is seamless, allowing for precise motion tracking and real-time feedback on my performance. It's like having a virtual personal trainer right there with me, providing guidance, encouragement, and corrections to ensure I get the most out of every workout.But perhaps the most impactful aspect of EA Sports Active: Personal Trainer is its focus on accountability and progress tracking. The customizable fitness plans and goal-setting features have empowered me to take control of my fitness journey, setting achievable milestones and celebrating my successes along the way.And let's not forget about the packaging and delivery—it arrived promptly and in perfect condition, a testament to the professionalism and reliability of the seller. Opening the box felt like unwrapping the key to a healthier, happier me, and I couldn't wait to get started on my fitness adventure.This has become so much more than just a game to me—it's a powerful tool that has helped me unlock my full fitness potential and transform my lifestyle for the better. If you're ready to take charge of your health and well-being in a fun and effective way, I wholeheartedly recommend giving EA Sports Active: Personal Trainer a try. Trust me, you won't regret it.

I reviewed lots of the 'personal trainer' type software before I settled on the EA Sports Active. I was looking for something that would actually help me to increase my fitness, rather than something that just entailed waving the Wii remote around a bit and claimed to 'keep you fit'.And oh boy, does this make you sweat!! The 30 day challenge is great fun and keeps you motivated to keep coming back to it. I've got 3 more days of my challenge to go and I can really feel the difference - especially to my upper body. You can choose easy, medium or hard intensity, depending on how you're feeling each day - I've stuck to medium on the whole which is just about right for me (I walk and cycle every day anyway). I've not been brave enough to try the hard setting yet! This product gets you out of breath, sweating and your muscles can sometimes scream for mercy - especially when it gets you doing squat jumps and squat holds. I sometimes wondered why I just didn't walk away from it (after all, it's just a machine) but the darn thing gets you hooked and you don't want to give up. The American 'coach' (you can choose male or female) gets a bit annoying - everying's 'awesome'and she has 'nothing but respect for you' etc, but you learn to ignore her!! This comes with a resistance band for the upper body exercises and a leg strap for the nunchuck so that you can do the lower body exercises. I've found that, particularly on the upper body exercices, you need to hold the Wii remote in exactly the right way or it doesn't register the movement you're carrying out. But this is a minor point - you soon get to know what it's expecting of you and I haven't found it detracts from the enjoyment of the product.All in all, a great package for improving fitness levels - way ahead of Wii Fit or Wii Fit plus which, in my opinion, is just a glorified game.

Tres sympa avec une multitude de sports.Ce n'est pas un jeu que pour se defouler,c est vraiment du sport.Et le corps le ressent.Ideale pour perdre quelques kilos en trop.

Da ich super UNSPORTLICH bin, sollte es ein EINSTIEG IN DIE BEWEGUNG werden. Es gibt leider einige Übungen (Springen),die kann ich noch nicht machen. Für den Rücken nicht wirklich gut und LIEGESTÜTZEN leider ebenfalls nicht. Sonst gibt esaber auch sehr viele Übungen - die wirklich gut machbar sind. Nur auf der leichtesten Stufe Liegestützen zu verlangen....?

Le paquet est arrivé en lambeau chez moi. Bon, ce n'est que du carton! Le jeu était intact, complet et très intéressant, je le recommande!
