Wii ea-sports active game



Recommended Posts

Anyone workout using sports active from the Wii. I've had it for almost a week now and I love it. Much better workout than the fit. I felt the burn in my legs after day 2. Has anyone lost any weight?

It's a great workout. Here's another thread about it here:

My boyfriend and daughter went in together and bought me a Wii and the Wii Active for my birthday on July 18. My surgery date was July 2, 2009 and the timing was perfect. All three of us are using it and having fun. I like the personal traininer aspect and the fact that it changes things up from day to day so one workout is never exactly the same as the day before. It also tells me exactly how many calories I burn so I give it a huge thumbs up!

Forgive me if this is a silly question, but I am technically challenged. I have been reading the posts on Wii, and am a bit confused. Is the Personal Trainer part of the EA Sports Active Program? What's the difference between Wii Fit?

Not a silly question. Here's my take. Wii Fit is pretty broad reaching with lots of games and things to do, and also pretty pricey. Wii Active is basically a fitness regimen that you can tailor to you. Bob Greene, Oprah's famous trainer is the source of the information, and then you pick a trainer who demonstrates the exercises and then coaches you through doing them correctly. At the end of your workout it tells you how many calories you burned and how that compares to the projected amount. (the harder you work the more you burn, and so far, I've surpassed the projected amount every time.) I think the Wii Fit has more choices, but for what I needed the Wii Active is perfect.:thumbup:

Thanks. That was helpful.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
