Many women could benefit immensely from EA’s new product, the Wii Active. Why? Because it caters to their health requirements by presenting them with a variety of exercises: from yoga, to aerobics, and even outdoor activities.
The difference between Wii Active and Wii Fit is the mat. Wii Active does not require the use of this mat, which, to some, is a big plus because you will no longer feel the need to balance in this small elevation. Instead, you can use resistance bands that measure the amount of strength output you give. The nunchuk pocket holds the controller while you do leg exercises as it gauges exercise techniques and repetitions.
Because its target market is the female population, the virtual trainer strikingly resembles Oprah’s trainer Bob Greene. He will be there to guide the users as they go through a variety of movements. As the girls sweat it out, the trainer eggs them further and
encourages them to continue as they stretch their muscles out. The best thing about this new technological advance is the fact that the participants are given the freedom to choose their exercise regime should they get bored with their routine. The visuals and sounds add further entertainment. Now, you can no longer get bored because you are made to choose which exercise interests you the most.
From the recent feedback made by those who have joined the Wii Active 30-day challenge, it sounds like the product is developing nicely.
