Posts Tagged ‘Nintendo Wii’

Gone are the days where you have to drive to the gym to get the decent workout that you deserve. In everyone’s efforts to make fitness available to those with no time and very little budget to actually head out of their homes and offices, several companies such as Nintendo and EA have collaborated to create the best exercise program out there.

Having your own gym equipment can also be too costly, and hiring a personal trainer can even weigh heavier on your budget. The best solution is to get EA’s Wii Active. What makes this the greatest technological breakthrough to date? First, at the price of $60, it is much cheaper than today’s Nintendo Wii Fit. It’s a one-time purchase that provides you a lifetime’s worth of service. Secondly, it comes with accessories to help you with your movements and positioning as you go through the workout program. Thirdly, you can choose a variety of games and programs to make your exercise spontaneous and more fun. And lastly, you can customize your exercise and have your avatar keep track of your progress as if you had a personal trainer of your very own.

Today’s generation can benefit from the latest developments in the realm of technology and health. If someone said years ago that these two ideas were mutually exclusive, they are now proven wrong. Technology has proven to conquer every realm, and it has broken barriers to show everyone that they all can benefit from this recent advance. Stay fit, keep your schedules uninterrupted, and make exercise more fun with the help of EA’s Wii Active.

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.

For those who prefer the outdoors and want a chance to get some exercise even while living in the city, there’s EA’s new product called The Active Life. This outdoor challenge is set out to rival Nintendo’s Wii Fit. Just like its market equal, the whole purpose of the software is to help everyone burn calories. With constant use, losing weight is a definite possibility. The software was developed to target the female market. Nonetheless, men can participate in it as well.

What makes Wii Active worth your every penny? The makers behind this product realize the need for entertainment value. After all, who wants to get into an exercise regime that is monotonous and tedious? Its fun activities were set out to give life to the everyday health regime. You can pick a medley of daily activities as you play sports games while you challenge your strength and resiliency.

While Wii Fit is still the formidable seller out in the market, the outdoor challenge comes close to providing you with a good aerobics workout. Run and jump your way to a better body. As with any exercise program, you must consult with your doctor first to make sure that your body can handle the different levels of strenuous exercises. You should also do some stretching exercises before you start playing the game. It’s a real physical workout with a realistic simulation with outdoor sports. Set to hit the shelves on May 19, buyers can enjoy the low price, selling at $30 less than Nintendo’s Wii Fit.
