Amazing Tool, the Wii.

Wow, I just lost my 1000th Calorie and its only been several days since I’ve started this new game, called EA Sports Active.

This little program is really amazing, it uses the Wii remote and nun-chuck to detect one hand and one leg. So, the system actually have more lower body building exercises then other software, such as those on PCs or PS2s…

It uses many ‘encouraging’ dialogs, to encourage you, the user, to do exercises. Not to mention the amount of goals settings. It makes a lazy person, such as myself, into a person who wouldn’t mind working 20 to 30 mins a day to both get in shape and attain those goals.

Another feature of this little program is the ability to add your daily chores into account, so, if I did Yard works, household chores, or other sports, they will all be added in to the goal systems.

What I am a bit disappointed is that it cannot ask you for what you have done ‘today’ and alter the exercises according to it. For one example, I am about to start two hours of badminton, the system would not alter the program for today and make it less demanding automatically, or automatically convert itself into a warmup only mode, but instead, records by asking me tomorrow, what I did today.
