Leg Strap

This comes with EA Sports Active along with the Resistance Band. This seems to be put together much better and you'd think it would last, but no. The picture above is my Leg Strap and you can see how on the inside it has torn, only being held together now by the reinforcement on the edges. Normal wear and tear here or crappy equipment? I'm more disappointed about this than the snapping Resistance Band since all you do is put it on your leg, and still this happens. If you are a larger gamer they were nice to put a velcro extension in the box, just in case the Leg Strap at full extension isn't big enough to fit on your leg. On the front is a pouch to put your Nunchuk so the game can read your leg movements.

Are you purposely destroying your equipment so you can give ea sports active a bad review

Actually I love the game. I'd give it a 5/5. I just wish this darn equipment was of better quality.

HOWEVER Streex's 5/5 means its a measly 1/5.
j/k but seriously if this shit is breaking fuck this game and to hell with EA, hosers...

I'm rating the equipment separate from the game. I don't think the game score should suffer.

I think Wii Fit Plus is enough exercise games for me. If the peripherals break this often, I'll let that speak enough to warrant a NO PURCHASE NECESSARY on this one.

Wii Fit Plus isn't enough exercise for me. It's more fun than fitness.

so like 50+ exercises are not enough?

You're obviously not doing any strength or yoga exercises then.

I like the large variety of exercises and games, that I love. What I'm talking about is I'm doing everything the game has to offer but I just don't break a sweat anymore unless I do the special challenges where you have to pull off 100 push ups, 100 jack knifes, or 3 minute ab crunches. I still do it to track my weight loss but EA Sports Active gives you a better workout. Once that doesn't work you hard enough, graduate to Your Shape. Yeah it's geared toward women but it's a constant aerobic workout and I'm drenched in sweat and out of breath every time.

Dude Wii fit makes me burn every time. And i'm physically active, i go on runs and lift weights.

Thats what I'm sayin' nyucka.

I suppose everyone has a different body. When I started with Wii Fit, I was out of shape. It really worked me out and kept me winded and sweaty. Doing that for awhile my endurance built up and then I was able to go through with ease. That's when I graduated to EA Sports Active. I was sweating and out of breath again. Still to this day when doing the hard exercises I have to take a small break sometimes but for the most part I'm able to go through without too much exhaustion. Once again endurance has improved. Graduated once more to Your Shape. This game kicks your cheeks. Constant aerobic exercise. I am so out of breath and sweat flying everywhere. Burns a lot more calories than the others.

How long do you guys use Wii Fit in one session? I usually just go until the pig is dancing around at 30 minutes, sometimes more to meet a calorie goal. When I was just using Wii Fit, I wasn't really losing weight. When I added EA Sports Active that's when pounds started dropping, currently 24 lbs. lighter since I jumped on the Wii fitness bandwagon. I think Wii Fit Plus might still be good for building core strength, and maybe that's what you are looking for, but weight loss is my main concern and it wasn't happening.

I currently rotate daily between these 3 games, 6 days a week. Outside of this I go to the gym for weights and the treadmill. I'm sure you guys are probably in better shape that I am so I'm perplexed that you find Wii Fit Plus still a huge benefit. If you haven't tried the other fitness games, I challenge you to. You may find those to be cheek kickers too.

I haven't tried the others because of the presentation. Its shoddy, corny in not Nintendo-ways (the way I like my cheese), and I don't know if there arte mini games but if not I'm not surprised.

As for fitness, I get enough exercise at work and being in a band (vocal training works more than you'd think!) so I don't really consider it (Wii Fit Plus) a benefit. But it is FUN!

Wii Fit Plus is more fun, but I get these exercise games to get in shape, not to have a good time. EA Sports Active gives me a legit workout that is giving me real results. Wii Fit Plus is more of a good time with a dash of fitness.

Plus you dont have to go to the gym.
