| My husband bought the game WII Active it came with all it needed. But I wanted to work out with my husband and or sons so that's when I purchased this item from Amazon I found that the Active WII workout kit that came with the game couldn't compare to the one I just purchased at Amazon. This one was made so much better the leg strap fit better, the elastic resistance band already had handles attached. The other you had to make a lop and make your own handles yourself. Glad I purchased this, when my family and I workout together you know which one I'm using! |

| First the product was ordered from GoHastings and came within a couple of days-good. I tried it out and the exercise strap is only good for short range excercises. Also the leg strap does not fit around my our my wifes thigh but does fit on our son's. Hence I think this set up is for kids our really small adults. |
Leg Strap smaller than that in EA Sports Active

I really wanted to rate this purchase 4 stars but did not for one major reason.
The leg strap included in this package is 4 or 5 inches shorter in length than the one packaged with EA Sports Active (EASA). The strap itself is very, well made and upon examination appears to be finished and sewn better than the one packaged in EASA. For those with smaller thighs that have had issues with strap overlap, this will be an excellent replacement, BUT for those of us with larger thighs that have had problems with the one in EASA being too small, its not a help. When I succeed in loosing more weight, I suspect I'm going to appreciate this strap nicely but unfortunately I can't use it now.
The handles that I received are also good. A narrower, padded grip strap, that will sit comfortably behind the Wii remote while being used.
One tube. red-hard. |
Both items too short!

| I purchased this because the resistance band that came with EA Sports Active snapped on me (don't know my own strength : ). I was thrilled when I got this because the band is made of much better quality - unlike the original band, which is like a thin rubber band, this one is fabric elastic with rubber-grip handles. This morning I used it and 1) the leg strap doesn't fit around my thigh. Granted, I have a 24" upper thigh (the reason I'm working out!). I still have the original leg strap so I was fine there. 2) The resistance band was too short to properly do the shoulder presses - even if I held it with just one foot (I'm 5' 5"). So it's a huge disappointment. I will probably return it... |
This is for small children only!

| I bought this last week and tried to fit it around my leg. It only made it around my calf. Luckily I had some vecro that I used to extend the length of it. Also the elastic band that comes with it isn't stretchy enough to reach over my head like some of the exercises require. (I'm 6' tall) I could only stretch it up to my chest. So unless your 5'2" or shorter and very skinny, this product WILL NOT work. Pay the extra $3 for the official one. |
