EA Sports Active 2 (Wii)

Rarely do I give product reviews but I feel compelled to do so, EA sports active 2  EA Sports Active 2 (Wii)  is so much fun I don't even mind the pain I feel whilst being encouraged to "Step It Up" by my virtual trainer thereby causing me to push myself further than I thought possible, there's so much to choose from and you determine the intensity or level you feel comfortable with. I'm currently on week 3 of a 90 day plan and boy do I feel the difference already especially in my legs, OMG, squats, squats, squats that's all I can say here, what makes this product good is the fact that you're engaging in sporting activities which are fun and if you're as competitive as I am, you do not want to lose so you push yourself further and in the process you are breaking sweat, love it! I plan to update this review in a few months, moving to phase 2 of the 90 day plan tonight, I expect things to get tougher but hey, no pain no gain!If you are considering taking up exercise after years of inactivity and have 30 minutes to spare after doing your day job, house work and perhaps sorting the kids out and simply can't find the time or care to join a gym, let me tell you, you will enjoy this product and "burn those calories" while you're at it. Oh, just in case you're wondering, I am dropping the pounds albeit slowly, the thing is I didn't put weight on over 3 weeks and by Jove I don't expect to lose it all in 3 weeks, I've also dusted down my bike and cycle for an hour circa 5 days a week, it all adds up.I sure hope this helps someone who's been pondering but not quite sure what to do about those extra layers ;)Watch this space for an update at the end of phase 2.

This workout is a KILLER. It's amazing ! I did two back to back the other night and 3 days later I was still aching ! I'm aiming to do one workout 5 days a week from now on ! Great having the heart rate monitor - sometimes however you do an exercise it will not believe you are doing it correctly - the only way out of this is to skip that part and do it your own way ! Most of it is fabulous though - do NOT do what I did and think you are fitter than you are - I started off not on the beginner bit - SOOOOO wish I had - what a mistake !!! Really enjoying doing it though and will carry on.

On the third use of this I found that my movements were not being tracked on some of the exercises , there was nothing I could do about this apart from return to the beginning and cross the exercises I had already done off the list so it looked as if I had done 10 different exercises rather then 28 because it did not save my first 2 attempts to get past a particular exercise which was about exercise number 17 out of 28. I have tried ringing and contacting EA but their number does not work and this particular game is not on their very long list of games, I cannot find a link to live help either. I'm at a standstill and will be looking to send this back if the other half has no luck. Not very impressed but also frustrated as this seemed pretty good and interesting and I was looking forward to becoming fitter and stronger. Very unhappy and a lot of money wasted I feel.

I've barely used it, my gym instructor would go nuts if she saw some of the techniques it teaches & the sensors weren't all that comfy.

I used to think games like this were terrible, even for those people who are largely sedentary, but I've changed my mind.Not because this game is a good workout, because it isn't. It's an ok workout, meaning it's better than nothing... and in my mind, that's the point of it. It's just designed to get you moving.It has its bad points, and people have already pointed those out. For example, the load times between the exercises are so long, you essentially have a rest period after every portion of the workout. Your heart-rate falls, and you may even need to keep moving to keep warm between each portion. This obviously renders the calories burnt inaccurate at best, useless at worst.Another example is the peripherals you use around your leg and arm. They register movement ok. Not great. But ok. Sometimes it doesn't register movement at all, sometimes it registers it too much and thinks you've started on a rep as you're setting up... so then you're out of position, have to half-arse the rep and then re-do it.But it also has its good points.I bought this game so I could have a mild workout while I recovered from surgery last year. I did its 9-week program before going back to "regular" workouts. It got me moving.You can't take anything else away from it. It won't make you buff, it won't make you skinny, it won't do anything else but get you moving.That, for people who don't do much moving, is a very good thing... whether they're just lazy or incapable of much activity right now.So if you're buying a game to get really fit and healthy, or you're already in pretty decent shape, I suggest you save your pennies and join a gym instead, or spend it on a thrice weekly trip to the swimming pool, or a new pair of shoes to go walking or running in. Maybe join a sports team, a martial arts class or something else.If you're buying a game because you spend most of your day on your bum, and you don't really have much else going on in your life that has you moving about the place, then go for it. And buy some other games on top of it, dancing games, sports games (Wii Sports is actually pretty good... everything but the golf can have you jumping around the room in some manner), fitness games... anything that gets you moving, because if you're big, if you're unfit, the journey starts with just moving more and watching what you eat. This does that.

If you have the self discipline of following an exercise routine, this game provides a personal trainer to coach you through a diverse range of routines and discover muscle groups that you may be unaware even existed.I have now been using this game for a number of weeks and have certainly enjoyed it.The biggest regret is that the heart rate monitor that is supplied does not work properly. Websites make reference to it working after installing upgrades from the main website. However, I have found out that the support was discontinued earlier in the year. Therefore, it is likely that the game purchased will not deliver fully what was promised.

Super

Ho provato ancora poco il prodotto, ma da quello che ho visto mi piace. Concordo con chi dice che è più adatto a donne e ragazze. Comunque la cosa più interessante è la motivazione che ti da, hai un "coach" virtuale, che ti ricorda di respirare, di stare dritti con la schiena e altri informazioni utili che spesso durante gli esercizi se si è alle prime armi ci si dimentica. Molto facile da usare, e esercizi comunque efficaci per tutti quelli che cercano un po' di fitness per smuovere un po' il corpo. Il cardiofrequenzimetro aiuta a tenere sotto controllo i battiti e inoltre fornisce una sorta di biofeedback in tempo reale molto interessante e motivante; diciamo che puoi vedere con gli occhi il tuo sforzo. Non ho ancora visto tutti gli allenamenti, ma comunque insomma, sicuramente meglio che cercare di fare tutto da soli..è sicuramente più comodo così! Lo trovo un buon prodotto per i principianti e magari anche per un utente intermedio. Si può anche scegliere il grado di intensità..quindi chissà magari anche per i più allenati può servire come allenamento alternativo!

Ware wurde gut verpackt und schnell geliefert.Die Ware ist in einem sehr gutem Zustand mit Software Anleitung und 2 x Herzsensor und Bewegungssensor und Empfänger also alles bestens.

con amazon la consegna è sempre tempestiva e perfetta, il pacco in perfette condizioni e il gioco completamente in italiano sin dal primo avvio. il gioco se cosi si può chiamare è veramente bello e completo. spazia molto nella tipologia di esercizi e si possono scegiere diversi tipi di attività in base all'intensità e al tempo a disposizione. veramente comodo per allenarsi a casa!

Hanno inviato solo il gioco senza il bundle ( sensori e fascia) quando come da descrizione era tutto incluso . Questa è mancanza di serietà da parte del venditore .
