Now that EA’s Wii Active is out in the market, a few of its users had questions about the use of the new product. EA set out to answer them as clearly as possible.

What controls are needed to use EA SPORTS Active? Basically, you just need two of them, namely the Wii remote and nunchuk. The nunchuk has to be plugged in to the Wii Remote throughout the exercise program. You can also use the Wii balance board for some exercises. But for EA Sports Active, this is not a necessity.

How are the remote and nunchuk used?

Depending on the exercise, these two accessories will have a variety of uses. Not to worry because a trainer and video instruction are available for each program.

Generally, you will be asked to hold the Wii remote on your right hand. The nunchuk will either be placed on your left hand or on the leg strap, depending on the kind of exercise you choose.

How do the controls respond to the movements?

The secret to this is to always try to follow the trainer and mimic his movements. If you have difficulty doing this, again it is advised that you watch the video instructions before you exercise. This will provide you with tips on how to move correctly.

Once you’ve started, listen to the trainer carefully and follow the text on the screen. When you need to put the nunchuk on the leg strap, insert it properly, pointing down with the control stick facing to the right.

To make your workouts more fun and believable, EA Sports Active has included Avatars of famous exercise gurus to guide you as you work your way towards your fitness goals.

One of the newest games is EA Sports Active Personal Trainer 2009. The game offers quick twenty-minute workouts that enable the player to take advantage of high intensity cardio as well as upper and lower body muscle workouts. You will be encouraged to strive for weight loss by getting into shape with a healthy lifestyle.

Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2009 is one of the top games for Wii. The market wants Jillian Michaels to strictly get them into shape just like she does on the hit television show, The Biggest Loser.

The software comes with five different workouts and it includes cardio workouts that are combined with intervals and strength training. You also get tips along the way.

Then, there’s Bob Greene. He is EA’s Sports Active’s latest trainer. He was also involved with the development of the game that has recently hit the shelves. He is a famous American Exercise Physiologist and certified Personal Trainer. He has authored 10 books that talks about health, exercise, and diet.

Moreover, he is better known as Oprah Winfrey’s trainer and has frequently been a guest on her show. He also has a radio show on the “Oprah and Friends” satellite radio network. With his reputation for being one of the best in his field, users of Wii Active will be inspired to exercise and work out. With him working alongside the makers, you know that you are getting what you deserve when you make the purchase.

Just like having a personal trainer at the gym, EA Sports Active’s virtual trainer guides and motivates you as you strive to reach your fitness goals. Throughout each workout, you’ll get well laid out instructions, instant feedback, encouraging bits of advice, and valuable tips to help you achieve prime results.

The best thing about this is that your personal trainer doesn’t charge you by the hour nor does he raise his professional fees.

Moreover, you will get a built-in journal that helps you monitor your progress as you advance. All you need to do is set your fitness goals the very first time you work out. You can regularly check to see your development. You are also able to log other information such as the food you eat and the activities you do outside.

A few of its popular programs are dancing, inline skating, tennis, and volleyball. There are more than 25 exercises available, and you can choose from a medley to see which one interests you the most.

The exercises were designed to make you sweat and target the different muscles in your body. You can also isolate your workout to target the muscles you want to strengthen and enhance. You’ll never find workouts boring with so many choices available.

Achieve your fitness goals in just one month with the 30 Day Challenge. Try a new activity every day. Each exercise is tailored to your fitness level and geared toward your goals. As you see the effects on your body, you are kept motivated and challenged.
