    I just tried the squats and running and the leg strap kept falling off ( I use the first one where the leg strap is where you use a nunchuck if that makes a difference) and when Im jogging it keeps saying Im to slow then perfect etc because it dont read it each time as for the squats it didnt read any of them and oh my Im sore

    I have #2 for PS3, and sometimes I have to give my arms or legs an extra jiggle for it to read things. I *hate* when it doesn't pick up during skipping!

    The straps only slip if I'm doing major, major sweating.

    I had it and let me tell you i hated it. I dumped the wii and got the xbox 360 kinect. I love the workouts on it and it tracks my movements 110% better than the wii.

    I did the EA 2 tonight and realized that the the thigh strap needs to be right side up with the little figure's feet facing mine(if that makes sense). Until I turned it upside down, it wouldn't register any squats. Idk, hope that helps...good luck!

    It makes absolutely no sense, but kickups (and high knees) both register off of your arm movements. Flap your arms like a crazed chicken and you'll see your little avatar start flying across the screen.

    To get back on it, I use Active 2 and I do find that the leg strap slides all over the place. I usually pull it super super tight and then I'm okay, but it has to be bordering on uncomfortable to stay on properly.
