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.

A big release happened this year in the realm of fitness, health, and sports. EA’s Wii Active was set to compete against Nintendo’s Wii Fit with new features and innovative programs. What makes Wii Active a great buy? Here are just a few of its features:

1. The availability of 20-minute circuits, inclusive of both new and familiar activities. These cardio workouts were designed to target your upper and lower body, legs, and arms. You can get fit with only a few minutes of your time each day.

2. You have a trainer to guide you throughout the entire workout process. Your trainer will be there to keep track of your progress by providing you with constant feedback all throughout.

3. You can customize and personalize your entire regimen to make it fit your body’s needs and capabilities.

4. You can embark on a 30-day challenge and tailor fitness challenges to meet your level of fitness.

5. You need not worry about veering away from the ideal path because the circuits installed in the software will also adjust and change so that you are properly guided until you reach your desired goal.

6. You will be able to keep track of the calories burned, the intensity of the entire workout, your own personal progress, and the duration of each workout.

7. The leg straps and Wii remote all work to measure your body’s movement while you follow the avatar on your TV screen.

8. The resistance bands are made to outlast as you stretch them to their limits during your workout.

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.

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
