Love this game, a lot more challenging than the first game. Like the fact that you don't need to hold the controllers very often and like the added heart rate monitor feature. The price was way better than other stores also.

I am 65. Some things I can not do but enough that I can do to burn more calories than sitting on a couch. It is important to keep moving as much as possible and this product enables that. There are many options to choose from so it should serve the needs of almost everyone. BIG plus: the price at Walt-Mart cannot be beat: less than $20.00 when I bought it, others charge as much as $80.00 or more. 'Nuff said...

Love The Variety

Love this game excellent way to exercise without going to gym. Got this on sale so it was extra nice,,,
Only con I have seen is sometimes while exercising I may get to close to sensor and then the sensors might not read you,but I haven't had a hard time keeping the sensors picking up.I think it reads very well so far, and keeps up good with reps, and movements. I do not own the first version on Active 2 thinking about The More Workout one, haven't decided yet. I am very happy I bought this game to help with my home fitness. I just hope they continue to put out more games of this genre.

Sensors didn't work

The arm and thigh band sensors would not sync, which they must do before the workout will even begin to play. So I returned it to the store and bought a good old fashioned workout DVD.

It really had me sweating everytime I worked out!! my muscles were even sore the next day, so I know it was working. The only thing that was frustrating, some times it would not count all the reps, so you would end up doing more... but I guess it works out in my favor.

I am new at this whole video game thing, but this game was easy to use and easy to get the hang of. I can really feel the workouts and hope that it will help me lose the baby weight I should have lost after my son was born three years ago! haha.

Great workout

This is a great overall workout for cardio, stamina, fitness, timing and coordination. The one shortcoming is that when I tried the upper-body exercises, the Wii would not follow my motions while doing most of them. This does not matter to me, since I use it for the other atributes and use other exercises like pullups for stength.

I like this even better than the original as the leg and arm monitors montior your movements and makes it easier to use, especially if you have 2 remotes and do not have the nun-chuck cable getting in your way

Loved it, that is until the heart monitor stopped.

I really liked the wireless feature of this game, but I only used it 3x and then the heart monitor stopped working. Thankfully it was still covered under the manufacturers warranty. EAS said they were having some issues with the heart monitor so I followed their instructions to return it to them... I am hoping to get a replacement soon.
Otherwise, I really like the features and options.

Good idea, needs work

The idea for this excersis equipment is superb. Having a video trainer that monitors your heart and movements is a great idea. However, the hardware needs work. I had to buy this software twice in order to get working periferals. The first set I bought had a broken leg monitor. Walmart gladly returned that product. My new set picks my wife up every time, but it does not always pick me up, which is very frustrating. I would like to see an optional set of periferals that cost a little bit more but would provide a stronger more reliable set of equipment. Also it would be nice to pick up an extra set to work out with a friend.
Also, I wanted to use my wii fit board, unfortunatly the fit board has to be on for the whole duration of the excercise routine and not simply for the excercises it is needed for. This is also true of the wii mote. This is both annoying (in that you have to wake up the unused board and mote every few minutes) and it wastes battery life, for no good reason.
In additon EA customer service was horrible. After I took the time to register with them they answered my question about the broken periferal by stating I needed to watch the video in the game to set up the periferial. In my e-mail to them, I had already told them I followed that step.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this work out!!

I had Active 1, it was glitchy, and slow, but still fun...this one has fixed most of the glitches, and the work out is much higher caliber with better warm up and cool down. Make sure you have fresh batteries, or it will be glitchy like the first one but otherwise this is a great way to burn 200 calories in 30 minutes, track your progress, and an excellent work out that I look forward to.
Great value at Walmart.com, seven dollars cheaper than in the store, so order and do ship to store and save yourself a little money:)

Pro's are that it has goals for you to meet and that it keeps track of calories burned. It was under 18 bucks!
Negatives are 1) the Cardio exercises are too short of a duration. 2) You can only have 5 accounts on it. My family has more than 5 in it. 3) It should come with a way to attach another controller or the wii remote to your right forearm. 4) The boxing is boring. It always goes from left then right. There are no other combo punches.

EASPORTS has really upgraded this workout system from Wii Active, Nice that you don't need the nubchuck and the remote as much, hardly at all. Having it being able to link to your computer and do work outs with other people is pretty neat. The workout and instructions are much better. I really enjoy doing the workouts with this product. Worth the price online!!

I'm glad i purchased this game. I'm doing the 9 week challenge on hard and i really work up a good sweat. the activities are fun but the only complaint is that sometimes the sensors don't pick up my moves and its really aggravating. over all this is a wonderful gamed that can get you in shape if dedicated.
