EA Sports Active: A Wii Game to Get You Shape

By Jack Hueymanland

Everyone loves the Wii Fit. It has been one of the best selling wii fit accessories and wii fit games there have been. There's a new game coming out that supports the balance board, called EA Sports Active.

EA Sports Active is like the game that come with the balance board, but better. It focuses on a full body workout, incorporating other types of workouts not using the balance board. This will be what folks call the "Wii Fit killer."

EA Sports Active has some amazing features. First, it can track both upper and lower body movements. To track your lower body movements, all you have to do is use the included strap to strap the Nunchuk to your leg.

Now, when you move your leg, it'll track it, just as the Wii Remote tracks when you move your hands. The cool thing is that you will get two straps included with the purchase, in order for you to be able to workout with your friends and family.

A resistance band also comes with the EA Sports Active game. Resistance training is important, but storing weights takes up a lot of room because they are bulky and heavy. You basically have your own custom personal trainer in this game too.

You'll get feedback from the personal trainer in the game based on how well you do. The goal of the feedback is to get you to a better fitness level then you're at right now. All of your workouts will be tracked.

You can spend 30 days in the amazing 30-Day Challenge Mode. In those 20 days, they will try to get you to work out for 20 minutes a day doing varying exercises. While doing those exercises, you can have your calories burned tracked as well as the intensity of the workouts.

That's just a glimpse of the EA Sports Active information. Visit my site below for more features, videos with the collaborators, fitness and nutrition info, the release date and preorder information. I am so stoked about this game, I already preordered it myself. - 16004
