. Gameplay
Designed around the standard Wii Remote/Nunchuck tethered
controller configuration, EA SPORTS Active's interactive fitness
program is more focused on physical activities than previous
'fitness' titles for the Wii, but still challenges you to have
fun while developing a more y lifestyle. Separated into the
three sections of workout, tion, lifestyle, and other
activity, the user's experience begins with a pep talk from Bob
Greene which quickly transitions into the beginnings of action as
players set up profiles, choose a virtual personal trainer and
enter baseline data like age, weight, gender, fitness goals, etc.
Although the tion, lifestyle, and other activity sections
add a holistic element facilitated by a mix of surveys and data
input, building fitness through physical activity is the driving
force behind EA SPORTS Active and as such the meat of the content
resides in the workout section. Here players will find dozens of
themed strength training and cardio workouts which can be
customized as you choose and linked into circuit traning
routines. These routines are introduced and monitored by your
personal trainer, and allow for ongoing player motivation via
real-time feedback on your workout form, an approximation of
calories burned and the ability to adjust levels of exercise
intensity.
Accessories
Although activity in EA SPORTS Active flows exclusively through
the combination of the Wii Remote and Nunchuck controllers, it
also utilizes a few additional accessories to maximize the
functionality of this configuration. The first of these included
with the game is the controller leg strap. By attaching this to
their upper thigh and then slipping the Nunchuck controller into
it, players can utilize the Nunchuck controller's motion sensing
capabilities while it is connected to the Wii Remote to monitor
their leg movements. This allows for cardio exercises like
jogging and cardio boxing and strength training activities like
squats. Also included with the game is a resistance band designed
to increase the intensity of a variety of exercises such as bicep
curls and shoulder presses and lifts. In addition, although not
included, the Wii Balance board is compatible with many EA SPORTS
Active workouts, but only as an optional added controller
configuration.

variety of familiar activities that target upper body, lower body
