How Can EA Sports Active Help You Meet Your Fitness Goals?
Wii Active gives you the ability to have continuous workouts, which is something that Wii Fit does not have. You keep going through 20 minute circuits that allow you to get your heart pumping.The circuits, or workouts, were developed with fitness guru, Bob Greene. They allow you to focus on certain areas of your body like cardio or strength training workouts.Combining these together will make even more challenging workout sessions.

The two included accessories make the most of the exercises programmed in the game.A nunchuck leg strap is used to attach to your thigh and then you place the nunchuck into the strap.This uses the motion sensors that allow the game to give you feedback on both your arms and your legs.The intensity of the exercises can be increased by using the resistance game that comes as an accessory of the game.
Wii Active includes both sports activities and exercises. Tennis, volleyball, and basketball are a few of the sports activities included.
