For couch potatoes

I bought back then, because I wanted to have Wii Fit my Wii. So as couch potatoes, I thought this would be a terrific way to make exercise. At home and fun it also? So it has to work yet. Well, after the first stimulus was gone, the Wii was around mostly unused. But since I have read many times that the EA Sports programs bring much more athletic success, I was of course thrilled, the latest from the EA family to be able to test.

EA SPORTS Active 2 comes along with a leg and arm sensor and a resistance band. In arm sensor is also still an integrated heart rate monitor.
Started the game was fast. It is guided by the program shall be the first to have an account or takes over from previous EA SPORTS programs. Then arm and leg sensor to activate and you're set.

One has the choice between a 3-week cardio workout, a 9-week program, home-built workouts or compiled by the coach to specified priorities workouts.
I initially chose the 3-week program. There I was able to choose between 3 levels of difficulty. Unsporting as I am, I have of course only once easily selected. And then it started. The cardio exercise should be done for 3 weeks to 4 days per week. This package consists of different exercises, the workouts are always about 20 minutes. (And that's just the pure sports time. The times for loading the exercises and instructions you have to expect to approximately double the time.) Each workout consists of a warm-up phase, a main phase and a stretching at the end.
The individual tasks are varied. And even after I have more than half of the program, every day come new responsibilities but more so. This means that it will not get bored.
I also really feel something for me to do. Sure, you can cheat, which one must know himself. And it is also clear, when I do something wrong, there is no one who corrects me. A workout in a gym is certainly more effective and better. But for those who do not bring to it, EA SPORTS Active 2 is really a good alternative to ever do something.
I love training really great fun and I have the feeling to do something for me. Next year I test times then this 9 week program.

But not everything is positive, I have mainly 2 things that annoy me.
Firstly, the load times between the individual exercises are quite long. As you quite some time just is then each time just rum.
Secondly, it is so that one arm and leg due to sensor (which, incidentally, work great with me) just in the warm-up and stretching phase also not to many exercises the Wii Remote does not need and use. So I put the remote control next to me on the floor and doing my exercises. And then, after a certain time, then switches itself off automatically and the program stops. So then I have to interrupt my training and press on the remote control for now. Highly impractical. They probably should, even if you do not need to always move between times, so that it remains active.

Networking with the Internet that is possible, I do not, incidentally tested, I can say nothing.

Overall, a great game that is fun and couch potatoes like makes me at least something to do for the body.
Who so far, none of the EA SPORTS programs, which should consider whether he does not want to invest in this one. Fun is guaranteed!
