Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

EA Sports Active Accessory Pack is the official accessory package for EA Sports Active, Electronic Arts' innovative and customizable fitness program for Wii. One of the major strengths of EA Sports Active is that unlike other exercise products designed for use with Wii, every exercise included in it contains built in two-player split screen support. Having a friend to workout with not only makes staying in shape fun, the added presence of a workout partner has been proven to affect ongoing motivation towards reaching fitness goals. This is where the EA Sports Active Accessory Pack comes in. Multiplayer fitness accessories. View larger. Workout with a friend in multiplayer. View larger. Or have fun with family. View larger. What's in the Accessory Pack? The two-piece EA Sports Active Accessory Pack consists of one adjustable leg strap designed to hold a Wii Remote and one stretchable resistance band, with handles at either end. The leg strap is used in a wide variety of EA Sports Active cardio based exercises, including jogging, tennis, cardio boxing and many more. The resistance band is used in just as many exercises where adding extra tension on arms and legs is beneficial. These two accessories, along with your copy of EA Sports Active and Wii Remote/nunchuck controller (each sold separately), are all you need to turn the single player exercise routines of EA Sports Active into the fun, fat-burning multiplayer experience you have been looking for. EA Sports Active Gameplay Designed around the standard Wii Remote/Nunchuck tethered controller configuration, EA Sports Active's interactive fitness program is more focused on physical activities than previous 'fitness' titles for the Wii, but still challenges you to have fun while developing a more healthy lifestyle. Separated into the three sections of workout, nutrition, lifestyle, and other activity, the user's experience begins with a pep talk from Bob Greene which quickly transitions into the beginnings of action as players set up profiles, choose a virtual personal trainer and enter baseline data like age, weight, gender, fitness goals, etc. Although the nutrition, lifestyle, and other activity sections add a holistic element facilitated by a mix of surveys and data input, building fitness through physical activity is the driving force behind EA Sports Active and as such the meat of the content resides in the workout section. Here players will find dozens of themed strength training and cardio workouts which can be customized as you choose and linked into circuit training routines. These routines are introduced and monitored by your personal trainer, and allow for ongoing player motivation via real-time feedback on your workout form, an approximation of calories burned and the ability to adjust levels of exercise intensity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great add-on., June 26, 2009

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

With this add-on my wife and I can work out together. Unlike some of the other one's like Wii Fit where you would have to take turns. You can workout "co-op" to to complete the exercises.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy the game, buy the extra strap!, July 11, 2009

By	YzGals - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I've owned EA Active since it came out and have loved every single minute of it. I'd workout then my roomy would workout since we only had 1 strap to use. So it made it not that much fun from a watching stand point. We just bought a 2nd leg strap and LOVE THIS workout all over again. It is so much fun working out with someone. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND buying the 2nd strap to workout with ANYONE who wants to try it with you or if you have kids that want to try it. It's a great addition. Not worth $20 (because the resistance tube is useless...you have to go and buy a better one which is more $) but just to buy the handles and the strap is worth it in the long run. The handles are uncomfortable and I'm going to try and put some foam padding on them and see if that helps any. It gets the job done after playing for about an hour. It gets me up and moving my butt each and every day along with Gold's Gym Cardio Boxing....LOVEEEEEEEEEE IT! Love burning over 1000 calories just between Active and Gold's Gym. FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Workout!, June 30, 2009

By	R. Gallimore "Ladybug" (San Francisco) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This pack allows a 2nd person to exercise at the same time. I find that having a workout partner makes it a little competitive in a fun way. It felt more like a game than an actual workout. The personal trainer game has great variety and on the higher intensity can really whip you into shape...NO PAIN NO GAIN!
