Wii Active

Posts Tagged ‘Exercises’

You can watch yourself box, inline skate, and do all manner of exercises in this wonderful breakthrough in the technological arena. EA’s Wii active aims to make exercise more fun, motivational, and addictive. For those who get bored with the same routine, they can also choose not to have the same exercise twice. Flexibility: that’s its main strength.

EA Sports Active for the Nintendo Wii has been released last May 2009, and they’ve launched a website that features Carmen Bott and Bob Greene, world class trainers and health enthusiasts. Though both Wii Active and Wii Fit were designed to be fun and functional, the former enhances the program by making the activities more “westernized.” Gone are the voice-overs that are done with thick Asian accents. People from English-speaking countries can now better understand their avatars. Moreover, the music that goes with each workout no longer sounds like it came from a decrepit 80’s radio show. The beat reflects the current trends, making movement more fun. Users of the Nintendo Wii don’t have to put their TV’s on mute because they can now listen to the improved sound quality that Wii Active offers.

If you haven’t tried the Wii Fit at all, go to your nearest retail shops and compare the two software products. It’s hard to stay motivated watching cute little Wii Mii’s move along to sounds that are totally unfamiliar to you. Wii Active, on the other hand, has been designed and programmed to fit the interests of the western culture.

There are days where working out is simply not an option. When exercises get too repetitive and tedious, you may have a harder time convincing yourself to put that television on and exercise. An answer to this dilemma is EA’s new Wii Active.

The squats and lunge jumps are always difficult to perform, but when you shift onto the other games such as inline skating, dance, tennis, batting, and several others, you add spice into the whole workout. The best thing about the Wii Active is that the accessories are handy and simple to use. You can have the nunchuk in the leg strap as you get real time feedback on how your entire body is positioned. If you have the wrong posture, you immediately get some feedback from the screen. Your very own avatar moves along so that you have a guide on how you’re performing. You can have the real physical workout without feeling like you’re working hard to keep yourself motivated. The variety of features is enough to now make you look forward to exercising.

What makes EA Sports Active a real champion is the combination of variety, flexibility, and fun. You have the freedom to choose whether or not to use the balance board or just utilize the leg straps and resistance bands. The addictive exercises were designed to continually challenge you as move a notch up each level. You no longer have to overexert yourself and strain your muscles because each regimen was carefully planned and designed.
