EA Sports Active? - Page 3

I'd like to buy the TC one. I've seen it, and maybe I will at the end of the week since I'll have completed the EA original 30 day challenge.

I'm finally getting around to getting this -- it looks like EA Sports Active 2 is on sale for $20, but the first version is $47. Is there a reason for that?

Also, do I need anything else for two people to use it? All we have is 2 remotes, and one nunchuk.

So is EA Sports Active 1 or 2 better? Thinking of getting one. Amazon users seem to prefer the first version.

I need to get back to doing this. I picked up Active 2 on Amazon and I did about 6 weeks last summer and noticed a HUGE difference at the end. I have since taken time off only doing the occasional exercise set. It is a good program if you do the exercises correctly. I suggest using a different resistance band if you can get one. The green one is a little cheap.

Tried active tonight. The sensor basically doesn't work at all for squats and side lunges. Frustrating.

This was what made me give up on the NFL Training Camp version. Push-ups was another area that it did not like to give me credit.

I think my solution will probably be to just remove those exercises from the workouts. It's extra annoying because it won't even let you skip past something if it isn't working.

Training Camp will, but you lose credit. Yeah, I'd started building my own custom workouts, but that removes half the point of the software.
