The Wii, especially the Wii fit, was released on the premise that it would be a lot fitter us all; It would be fully the stereotype of couch-potato reverse video gaming.

However, it never really took off in the extent that one would have thought or Nintendo had hoped. Sure some people have some success with the Wii as a fitness device, but its full potential has not yet fulfilled.

But that’s not deterred other gaming companies. EA (Electronic Arts), for example, on the 2nd version of EA active and even has its own heart rate monitor.

EA Active 2 builds on the training of EA Active 1 with proper training that could also be found in a gym. The addition of the heart rate monitor to the game makes it all better as a training tool because you can see for yourself that cardio-training zone you are in (there are several zones for different types of cardio training) and the game can also be used to analyze your performance over time with the data of your workouts.

Dubious testimonials are available on the website for those who doubt the ability of the software to help you lose weight, but in theory that everything is there, and it really should contribute to helping you get fitter.
