    I have been using one called Active Life Outdoor Adventure. It's not marketed as an exercise game, but you can get some good activity from it. It comes with a dance mat type controller, and can be used by 1 or 2 players. You do fun stuff, like jump rope, run hurdles or sprints, jump on a trampoline, etc. It also has an exercise tracker portion, and can recommend activities based on the area of your body you want to work. It's not a serious exercise program... it's more for fun, but you can work up a sweat doing it, and would be a fun alternative or great to do with kids.

    There's a new game coming out in May called EA Sports Active: Personal Trainer. It looks like it's gonna be better than wii fit for exercise.

    The Wii Fit will surprise you. It has fun interactive games that will get your heart rate up, plus it keeps track of your weight and progress.

    And the kids like it.

    "The product will be the first in a new line of EA SPORTS fitness and sports performance products in development to improve the well-being of people of all ages."

    "EA SPORTS Active features a wide variety of interactive activities combined into a circuit that target both the upper and lower body as well as cardio, and supports two players to allow family or friends to get fit together. EA SPORTS Active provides a new level of motivation with on-screen, real-time feedback on your workout such as calories burned, while also allowing you to adjust intensity levels."

    "EA SPORTS Active ships with one specially-designed leg strap that holds the Wii's Nunchuk controller to track lower body movements, as well as a resistance band to support a number of upper body strength training exercises."

    "EA SPORTS Active features a "30 Day Challenge," a fitness road map for players to reach their fitness goals with the guidance of a virtual trainer. The Challenge provides a new, 20-minute workout every time a player exercises, including clear instruction, feedback on technique and positive encouragement throughout the workout. Each circuit will feel different and increase in intensity as fitness levels improve to help you work up a sweat and work toward your fitness goals. Users can also create their own custom workouts that vary in activity, duration and intensity, and the Wii Balance Board will add functionality to many exercises."



    YAY! :happy:

    Is my fitness coach any fun, or is it like going to the gym? (Sorry if you think going to the gym is fun:smile: )
