Get Your Wii

With the success of the Nintendo Wii comes another great game that will get you on your feet. EA Sports Active is a new fully customizable workout game that can help get you in shape from the comfort of your living room.

You can also use the program to keep track of the foods you eat to help you eat smarter. Just like when you go to the gym for a workout, EA Sports Active provides you with a virtual personal trainer that will guide you and motivate as you try reach your goals.

It not only shows you what to do to get in shape, but it also motivates you to stay on track. The Wii EA Sports Active features more than 25 exercises.

Each of those exercises can be made even more intense with the addition of accessories. The resistance band allows you to increase the intensity of curls and presses. The leg strap lets you stash a Wii Nunchuk inside to track your lower-body movements.

There's also an option to use a specially designed leg strap that can instantly track your movements and give you feedback on your technique.

It also allows you to keep a diary of your eating habits, helping you to plan healthier meals and keep track of nutritional goals. You can also input workouts from outside the game, and it will include those when calculating your fitness goals.

The Wii EA Sports Active allows you and a friend or family member to enjoy the workouts that are provided through the use of a split player mode. Finally, as an extra incentive, the Wii EA Sports Active offers a 30 day fitness challenge to encourage you to get in shape even more.
