Amazon.com Product Description
table border="0" tr td height="887" a name="product_description" iEA Sports Active/i Accessory Pack is the official accessory package for iEA Sports Active/i, Electronic Arts' innovative and customizable fitness program for Wii. One of the major strengths of iEA Sports Active/i is that unlike other exercise products designed for use with Wii, every exercise included in it contains built in two-player split screen support. Having a friend to workout with not only makes staying in shape fun, the added presence of a workout partner has been proven to affect ongoing motivation towards reaching fitness goals. This is where the EA Sports Active Accessory Pack comes in. style type="text/css" .caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } ul.indent { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: -15px; } table.callout { font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1. 3em; } td.vgoverview { height: 125px; background: #9DC4D8 url(http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/callout-bg.png) repeat-x; border-left: 1px solid #999999; border-right: 1px solid #999999; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; width: 250px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; } /style p/ table align=left width=210 cellpadding=0 height="49" tr td valign="top" height="53" div align="center"img alt="EA Sports Active game logo" title="EA Sports Active game logo" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B0024RI6S0.logo.200.jpg" border=0 align=top width="200" height="40"/div /td /tr /table table align=right width=250 cellpadding=10 tr td height="194"img alt="EA Sports Active Accessory Pack with accessories out of box" title="EA Sports Active Accessory Pack with accessories out of box" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B0024RI6S0.01.sm.jpg" border=0 align=top width="250" height="163"br center span class="caption"Multiplayer fitness accessories.br/ View larger./span /center /td /tr tr td height="194"img alt="Two women working out in EA Sports Active multiplayer mode" title="Two women working out in EA Sports Active multiplayer mode" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B0024RI6S0.02.sm.jpg" border=0 align=top width="250" height="250"br center span class="caption"Workout with a friend in multiplayer.br/ View larger./span /center /td /tr tr td height="194"img alt="Two kids playing in EA Sports Active multiplayer mode" title="Two kids playing in EA Sports Active multiplayer mode" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B0024RI6S0.03.sm.jpg" border=0 align=top width="250" height="141"br center span class="caption"Or have fun with family.br/ View larger./span /center /td /tr /table bWhat's in the Accessory Pack?/bbr/ The two-piece iEA Sports Active/i Accessory Pack consists of one adjustable leg strap designed to hold a Wii Remote and one stretchable resistance band, with handles at either end. The leg strap is used in a wide variety of EA Sports Active cardio based exercises, including jogging, tennis, cardio boxing and many more. The resistance band is used in just as many exercises where adding extra tension on arms and legs is beneficial. These two accessories, along with your copy of iEA Sports Active/i and Wii Remote/nunchuck controller (each sold separately), are all you need to turn the single player exercise routines of iEA Sports Active/i into the fun, fat-burning multiplayer experience you have been looking for. p/ biEA Sports Active/i Gameplay/bbr/ Designed around the standard Wii Remote/Nunchuck tethered controller configuration, iEA Sports Active/i'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 healthy lifestyle. Separated into the three sections of workout, nutrition, 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 nutrition, 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 iEA Sports Active/i 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 training 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. p/ bKey Features/b ul libiEA Sports Active/i Accessory Pack/b./li ul liuLeg Strap/u - Used in conjunction with a Wii Remote controller configuration, your movements tracked on-screen with this adjustable, specially-designed leg strap. /li liuResistance Band/u - Increase the intensity of bicep curls, shoulder presses and many other exercises./li /ul libiEA Sports Active/i/b (not included with accessory pack)./li ul liuActive Fitness Made Fun Easy/u - 20 minute circuits feature a variety of familiar activities that target upper body, lower body as well as cardio.

 Items are OK, but wear out fast August 1, 2010
L. Rogers
I like how the leg strap and the elastic bands allow you to do fun and effective workouts with the EA Active Sports. What I don't like is how easily the two items in this kit wear out. Our first set of these, we purchased when we got our Wii, which was back in December. These barely lasted us through June, and the strap was coming unsewn. The bands ripped once and we were able to still make them work, but they seem pretty flimsy. We bought a second set just a month ago, and already the leg strap has some loose threads around pocket for the nunchuck. It just seems like the product needs some improvements to really last long term.
 Love it. July 11, 2010

This game really makes you sweat! The videos show you how to do all of the exercises properly and you can easily burn 300+ calories in one 30 minute workout.

This is a wonderful product which makes the Wii exercise experience very realistic. The positive results are visible.
 Accessory Pack from EA Sports May 27, 2010

The Arm Band is durable as of yet. The Leg Strap is not durable enough. I've used these products for less than a year and the Leg Strap is already tearing and unraveling in some areas. I use it properly and often. My legs are petite - so it is not an issue of the band not being long enough. I have contacted EA Sports to let them know that the Leg Strap is too flimsy for everyday use. However; I would purchase this again because I enjoy the workouts.
