Wii Active

[Cheeky_Monkey]

I've tried doing a search but can't find anything.

Just wanted to see if anyone out there has the new Wii game "Active"?

We bought it yesterday and I used it for the first time this morning. My legs ache, my arms ache and I'm dreading doing it again tomorrow lol Nah not really, I'm looking forward to it because it's great!

I only set it to MODERATE! hahahaha


So does anyone else have it?

I was sceptical, thinking it would be like wii fit (already own that one) but it's actually a LOT different.

ooo i dont have it but sounds like i need it;

i have wii fit and the only thing i feel like does anything for me is the super advanced step class to warm up and the super advanced boxing gets up a little sweat but nothing serious.

How much was it? (If you dont mind me asking?)

I felt the same. The wii fit was fun, but didn't get my heart pumping IYKWIM.

I bought the Active at EB Games for $74. They price match, their original price was $99.95 but they matched JB Hi-FI for me who had it on special.

I've only done the first day so I haven't seen all that it does yet.
But today I did squats (man do my legs burn now!), lunges, rolling biceps, running, in-line skating (which is basically squats, but holding for a long long time), boxing which includes punches, kicking and kneeing and a few others that I can't remember.

I don't think it weighs you, at least it hasn't me. So I still use the wii fit to weigh. It does ask for your weight though, and at the moment I've started a "30 day challenge" with it. So maybe after the 30 days it will ask me for my weight again?

Yeah trying to lose weight and the Wii Fit isnt that great; its good in that it weighs you and stuff but i just felt i needed something more intense!! Will definately be checking it out!! Thanks for the info hehe

I have Wii Fit too. Wii active sounds interesting. Do you use the fit board?

I wish they would bring out something like Wii step class because it is the only excercise I really enjoy on Wii Fit.

Sorry to hijack this thread but I was just wondering if any of you can recommend fitness and fun games for the wii? I love the wii fir for the balance games but not really into the other things you can do on it. I wish there was a game that was fun to play and also good exercise. Is the wii active a work out or a more of a game with the workout in it?

Thanks for the info about it being different to Wii fit. I think I'll get the Active now too.

I ended up getting Wii Active and I just finished day 2 of the 30 day challenge, i started yesterday on easy, but put it up to medium today. So far I really like it!

How long does each work out session take?

[Salad]

it depends what setting you are on - I am on the easy level at the moment so my workouts take between 15 -18 minutes which work fine for me - I would say on the next level it would be longer. If I feel like more of a workout I will do a custom workout

oh awesome! Thanks

Am so getting this now! saw the docs and got blood result which are normal so she is going to put me on a weight loss tab looks like I'm gonna need to get this asap!

I am also going to get on.. Big W has a deal starting tomorrow where you get the Wii Fit and the Wii Active, i think for around $120. I was thinking of getting that Cos the Wii Active alone is around $75ish.

But then i don't think i will get the Wii personal trainer.. anyone have both of these? The personal trainer is $26.50 from target atm

How much do you guys trust the Wii Fit?
My DF jumped on it and did all the weighing and what not and it told him he was obese - He is 6foot3 and weighs 95-97kg and honestly, he is a bean pole.
