Wii Active

Posts Tagged ‘Wii Fit’

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.

Last May 19th, EA Sports Active hit the shelves. The home fitness theory that sets the theme for the entire software was launched for the purpose of challenging the Wii Fit’s routine at a much lower price.

EA Sports Active’s biggest plus may be the variety that comes with the product. It comes with a special resistance band with handles. This makes your Wii remote and nunchuk easier to hold and grip as you sweat through the regimen. Moreover, it also comes with a leg strap which has a kind of nunchuk holster so that your lower body movement can be tracked and measured. Its biggest plus is that it also works with the Wii Fit Balance Board for many of the activities. Join the two biggest forces in video exercise without wasting your precious money.

The door to an endless number of possibilities has already been opened. You can have your very own personal trainer during your workout so that you get the professional assistance without having to pay for extra fees that gyms require. You can now go on the 30 Day Challenge with the help of your trainer as he creates new workouts tailored to your progress and goals. You move through your exercises with proper instruction and motivation, with a video instruction that comes with each workout to make sure that you perform the movements properly. As you go through the days, you can select the individualized exercises and pre-designed workouts put together by duration and focus. You can also choose and create your own workout

Majority of the world’s female population can immensely benefit from EA’s new product, the Wii Active. Why? Because it caters to their health requirements by presenting them a variety of exercises: from yoga, aerobics, and to even outdoor activities.

The difference between Wii Active and Wii Fit is the mat. Wii Active does not require the use of this mat, which, to some, is a big plus because they will no longer feel the need to balance in this small elevation. Instead, they can use resistance bands that measure the amount of strength output the person gives. The nunchuk pocket holds the controller while they do leg exercises as it gauges exercise techniques and repetitions.

Because its target market is the female population, the virtual trainer strikingly resembles Oprah’s trainer Bob Greene. He will be there to guide the users as they go through a variety of movements. As the girls sweat it out, the trainer eggs them further and encourages them to continue as they stretch their muscles out. The best thing about this new technological advance is the fact that the participants are given the freedom to choose their exercise regime should they get bored with their routine. The visuals and sounds placed are there for further entertainment. Now, they can no longer get uninterested because they are made to choose which exercise interests them the most.

From the recent feedback made by those who have joined the Wii Active 30-day challenge, it sounds like the product is developing nicely.

Last May 19th, the software titans behind EA launched a new product aptly named Wii Active. This was set out to battle Nintendo’s Wii Fit. Its first line of business is to announce to the public the big amount of savings they’ll make when the price tags of the two software technologies are placed side by side. The popular Wii fit is priced at onle $60, with a good $30 saved with the purchase. This can be the next trend when it comes to exercising. No longer are these gadgets known for games. Adults can now benefit from it because of the availability of various software products that aims at inciting some interest from the older market.

More and more people are turning into technology for their health. Why? Because it saves them from a trip to the gym. Now, they can do intense and rigorous workout programs from their very own living room. The guides on these discs can be seen as the experts of their own field. The viewers are made to watch and actively participate in these workout videos with the help of the accessories that go with these players. Plus, the visuals also will help them in their focus during the entire routine. It truly is one of the greatest innovations in the realm of health and fitness. Owners can also enjoy other activities when the activity just gets too monotonous. The makers behind this innovation are hoping to target the female population by addressing the various needs of their bodies.

With Nintendo’s Wii Active, you will be using a control mat, which comes with the outdoor challenge games. It plugs into one of the GameCube ports found on top of the Wii. This mat is a little more sophisticated when compared to the traditional dance mats that we all know of. The Outdoor Challenge mat is equipped with six direction arrows and button pads, allowing two players to use it at the same time.

The mat is divided into two sets with four button inputs on the blue side and on the amber side for. Each player takes one color, but if there is only one player, he or she puts their feet in the center. For good exercise routines, here are a few suggested games:

1. A good aerobics exercise is called the Timber Trail game. In its most basic level, you will be asked to run in place to reach your goal. The higher levels present chasms and other obstacles that you will have to jump over or dodge. Unlike the Wii Fit board, this mat is more durable, allowing you to stamp on it.

2. There are other mini-games such as mine cart or river rafting. Most of these games are cardiovascular exercises that were mean to make you sweat.

3. Boxing and inline skating. Follow your avatar as you work your way to your goal. The leg straps and nunchuks are there to help gauge your movements and stretches. Again, there are levels available for those who want to work their way up to the most difficult routine.
