Best Workout Game! Keeps you going!

If you are looking for a game to lose some weight or simply get your lifestyle in shape this is the one for you. I got the game on release day and started at 230. A little overweight for a 5'11" guy. So I've been doing the 30 day work out (it has scheduled rests) and I am down to 215. I workout everyday an hour after breakfast and quickly saw results to my stomach. The only thing I use my wii fit for now is to weigh myself. Do this about an hour after each workout.
I promise, this is the one to work out on if you need a quick workout everyday.

I bought this game for my wife's and she just loves it. She also has the Wii Fit and out of the two she likes this one for the actual workout feeling she gets at the end of a session. Plus this game allows her to use the Wii Fit balance board in some of your workouts... one more thing to add to the versatility what you can do with this game. All in all I think that if you want to get a great workout without ever leaving the comforts of there home, this is the game for you! Hope this help all that are up in the air on whither or not to buy it.

We purchased this the day ir came out our family has been using the WII fit since christmas and thought it was a good product for winter activity but most activities weren't all that challenging. The ACTIVE set up is awesome your legs will be burning guaranteed everyone in my house was shocked at how much it worked you. I would highly reccomend this product it's fun to use and the trainers keep you motivated. My wife and I each dropped 70lbs this year and are thrilled to have found another tool to help keep us active and the weight off.

Wii.. It's not just for kids

If you aren't a kid any more but would like to have a program that tracks your weight and BMI while giving you great graphics and fun games to play while you get your exercise then Wii is for you. I started a week ago with Wii Fit and I still like it. I just bought the EA Sports Active today and it is an improvement over the Fit in that it puts you through the workout and you come out of the session sweating from the effort. It gives you feedback on how you are working out and I found myself running just a little faster.

I really really love this game. I have been working out on the WII Fit and Gold's Gym. When I started this one I really liked it. It takes the workout to a new level. I was 205 lbs 95 days ago. I am now 185. This is from watching what I eat, cutting back on portions, 30 minutes a day of Wii Fit, 15 minutes Gold's Gym and Now 30 minutes of Wii Active. I do about 45 minutes to 1 hour a night. I see such a difference in the workout and my weight. It really feels good to be happy about a workout.

Favorite WII excercise/fitness program/game

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I bought the wii fit back in February and have since purchased; My Fitness Caoch, Gold's Gym Cardio Workout and now the EA Active. Each of the program/game was worth the money spent, but EA Active, I feel is the best of them. I have created my own workout and also worked out with a friend. I've started the easy 30 day Challenge and plan on continuing with the other intensities of the Challenge.

I have had this for about 30days now, I havent had any problems with the strech band breaking or anything, i love waking up to work out with this. It is amazing! It does also work you out more than the wii fit because you dont have any games it is just working out. I break a sweat faster on this than the wii fit. Also, for anyone who is a bit thicker the band that goes around your thight has an extender so you can make it tighter if your really small or you can make it bigger.

Great for newbies

I've never worked out before in my life and I'm 100lbs over weight but I still was able to use this product. I'm going to start using my own tension band with the product because the one included doesn't give me a workout. It is too loose and puts no strain on my muscles at all. Another problem I experienced was that the velcro on the leg strap rubs my thighs and leaves scratches. The easy fix for this is to work out in pants. The only other complaint I have is more of a personal one: I have a knee injury that prevents me from doing all the workouts. The game is great in the fact that it lets me pick and choose which workouts I can/want to do. I just uncheck all the squats and lunges and then I'm on my merry way.
I'd definitely reccommend this to someone new to the workout scene. It is great at demonstrating how to do the exercises, it tracks your meal and workout schedule, and it tells you how many calories you've burned.

Best exercise game EVER

I love this! It is great! My children and I went to the store and couldn't decide on the Wii Fit or The Wii EA Sports Interactive. We decided to get both. The children enjoy the Wii Fit, it has more exercise type games and I love the EA because of the variety of exercises, it keeps you motivated and interested. I am addicted and it is sometimes hard to take a rest day when the suggest it, but if you don't you'll surely feel it. After the first week I could see results already.

I bought EA active a little bit after the new year. It is such a great workout! Although I think this one works out your legs and arms more that the rest of your body. After you're done you feels so good that you burned that many calories on the counter and then some. The diary lets you input what you've eaten and other activities you've done. I think this is a great start if you want to get moving and you lose pounds while you're having fun.

I got this because I am pregnant and need to start light workouts. This is an excellent product. It has a great variety of activities. my 8 year old son made his own profile, and is working out to it! i like how you can add the wii fit board if you have it. I enjoy customizing my workouts to include the activities I enjoy and to take out the running/walking. It is easier to go outside for a 10 minute walk then to walk in place in my living room!

This sports active workout for Wii is amazing.. I'm not ashamed to say that I'm not at optimal health, so when I tried this sports pack for just 12 minutes, I was sweating like crazy and I felt pain afterwards.. lol.. 20 to 30 minutes is all you need to get your exercise in.. It has a great tutorial for all of those novices out there like myself. If you can partner up with someone, that's even better, because he and/or she can be your motivator..

EA Sports Active delivers!

This was one of the best purchases I have made in some time. EA Sports Active gives you a great workout while allowing you to enjoy your time working out. It makes me sweat every time I use it and i really feel a difference, especially in my legs. There aren't many workouts for the abs, but the emphasis on cardio probably helps with that anyways. i haven't used Wii Fit, but I can't imagine it being better than EA Sports Active.

Awesome Program

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This is an awesome program if you are new to fitness or even a seasoned fitness pro. The running program is very addictive. I have not worked out in many, many years and have not found an exercise program I liked until now. I can't wait to get home after work so I can run, walk and even punch targets. For someone who never really cared about exercising this is a huge accomplishment. I love the positive feedback the program gives you as you progress through the workouts and the calories burned projection and actual calories burned are very motivating. This is a great program for all fitness levels.

The EA Sports Active is a good workout for beginners or already active individual. It is loads of fun and allows you to set goals for yourself based on what you want to achieve. It is a great game for all ages. You can even workout with a friend. Learning how to play the different sports is very fun too. The game is very motivating and a great customizing workout. I would recommend it to anyone.

Love this game...so far has been challenging and have been sore every day since I started. But its fun and though I stuck with the Wii Fit I still missed quite a few days with it. I love that it counts calories, something the Fit doesn't have.
This is a great product...I use leg and arm weights to boosts my workouts and bought the step accessory for the Wii Fit boad. Can only say I love it!!!

This is great. It is wii Fit to the next level. I am currently doing the 30 day challenge and I love it. I actually broke a sweat with low intensity.
After becoming frustrated with the resistance band unraveling from the handles during the exercises. I substituted it for one I already had which is stronger and worked out better.
I recommended it to friends after my first work out!

I love this game, but my husband has problems with it because he is left handed and wants to hold the remote in his left hand, which causes problems with some of the activities. I get a good workout and love that you can choose what you want to do. Also great that you can work out with a friend. Haven't tried it with the Fit board yet, just trying to get used to it normal at first.

I have not had something in a long time that I can't waite to play (Work out) the next day.
On the day off I go in and work on my own. I'll pick out something that I did not do so good the day before. Or just pick one that has something in it that I'd just like to practice at.
If you don't have the board from Wii fit get it all though you don't need it..
