EA SPORTS Active: Personal Trainer (Video Game)

Customer Review

I have been training for some time at home with fitness DVDs, but I can not bring to strength training mostly as well. To the gym but I almost never make it. Since this game was worth a try. Today I finished the 8th Training of 20 (the 30-day challenge) and can say now: but, that's real training, not a gimmick and if you do not cheat, and selects the right intensity, do you ever get aching muscles.

The training calendar with the 30-day Challenge motivates me very much as well as the count of the Wii in the individual repetitions of an exercise. Very positive, I find that the workout is composed every day.

a few Tipps:

- At the beginning I had as some others the impression that a few exercises are not or only rarely detected. After some tinkering, I know now it was up to me - the recognition is actually even very good, but you should look at exactly how the trainer the FB and the Nunchuk holds (in the combined arm exercises because I had trouble at first). The positioning of the wrist is important. If we can not comprehend something, just stand still remain in the specified position, after a few seconds the game then continues by itself.
Meanwhile, with me is as good as anything recognized only very rarely does the game remains times depend.

- A wireless Nunchuk facilitates thing enormously. I have ordered from Amazon for a less than 5 Euro (new) - is working properly, you have more meters. E. not spend.

- The supplied belt will be too weak for most people - then necessarily replace it with a stronger. I suppose at the moment the green original Theraband ("strong"), but will change the next time the blue. Also good to be tubes, particularly Bodylastics. The tape should be so strong that it creates just as clean 10-15 repetitions of an exercise, it needs to end burn properly, otherwise it is too weak.

- Comments and Feedback I have completely switched off and put the volume of the voice coach to 0. Thanks to the explanatory video which you can watch as required and the instructions on the screen to still gets and the audio cues everything when again pending a repetition, you can hear still. Only with me Music makes the workout a lot more fun.

- Abdominal exercises are missing, in fact, but in many exercises you tense your stomach anyway with at. The cardio is not very extensive, I would absolutely have additions with running or cycling, which makes anyway more fun than before the TV to run on the spot.

The price I feel at such an old game but very overpriced. Meanwhile, you get the game often used conveniently without leg strap etc. and can easily acquire available also at Amazon Set of Lioncast it.

Despite interspersed games (tennis, basketball, etc.) and in spite of the ever-changing structure - the number of actual exercises is a bit limited, so I start slowly, me "More Workouts" to look forward to the sequel, which is already here - after the end of the Challenge then comes the turn :)
