Get In Shape with EA Sports Active

By Jack Hueymanland

The Wii Fit balance board and game as extremely popular. It has been selling like crazy, and has been sold out. There's a new Wii Fit Game coming out that will make use of the balance board, and it's 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."

The features list on EA Sports Active is fantastic. Lower and upper body movement are expertly tracked. By strapping the included nunchuk-holding leg strap to your leg, you can get on-screen feedback as to whether or not you're doing the workouts correctly.

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.

The game includes a personal trainer, who coaches you through the game. Instead of having a bulky weight, you get a resistance band in the game. This will help you to grow more muscle which burns fat.

You'll be given feedback from the game, from your "personal trainer." The objective of the feedback is to help you to get in better shape and make improvements where necessary. They also track your workouts to encourage you by seeing how far you've come.

The highlight of the game is the 30 days challenge mode. They claim that with just 20 minutes each day for 30 days, you'll see some very visual results with your body changing. Calories burned and workout intensity are tracked, through the varying daily workouts.

There's a ton more information about Wii Fit's EA Sports Active video game. You can see collaborator videos, the release date, preorder information and more at my site below. Be sure to preorder the game, as it will probably be sold out for a few weeks after release. - 15438
