Wii Resistance Bands

These resistance bands work perfectly with my Wii remote and nun chuck. The handles are thin and strong enough to allow you to fit both it and the remotes in your hands. They are super resistant though. I was using the resistance band from the "EA Sports Active Training Kit for Wii" which was more resistant than the original one. I figured I could start on the medium band in this package but it was a SUPER resistant band. I am using the easiest one and it's still almost to resistant. I've been working with it and it is getting easier. It's definitely a great workout!

I use these with EA Active, and they're great. They're the perfect edition to the game.I do notice that a few movements can sometimes be awkward due to the round design of the bands, but these exercises are still 100% doable--just somewhat awkward, as the band can roll back and forth, rather than stay flat in place like the flat bands.But, these bands are still awesome, and I haven't experienced any snapping or breaking with them yet.I also love that you get three different strengths in one. It really broadens my workout options. :)~*~*~*~*~*~*~ // EDIT // ~*~*~*~*~*~*~I'm changing my rating from a 4 to a 3, due to lack of functionality. After having using these for over a year and a half, I find myself reaching for my stretch bands, instead. With these resistance bands, what you can do is really limited. If you are doing exercises that require you to step on the bands, great. If you are doing exercises that require you to wrap the band around the back of your upper back and shoulders, and pull forward... not so great. They roll. A lot.As a matter of fact, even stepping on these bands for home exercises in bare feet is a challenge. During a workout I was doing a move that required me to put the resistance band around my foot and push my foot out. The band ended up rolling off of my foot and snapped back, hitting me in the face. Needless to say... I was totally embarrassed, and in a lot of pain. I'm just lucky I don't bruise.They also got dry over time, which was probably my fault, because I don't know if I am supposed to be oiling them or not, like some people suggest.Overall, I still think that these are very good for SOME exercises... but not all. And there isn't much that I can do with these that I am unable to do with stretch bands... so I think I will just stick with stretch bands, as they are much more versatile and safe.

I got this to use with Wii Active, which it was advertised for. At first, I loved it - cheap, three different levels of resistance, handle works perfectly with the Wii remotes. I was using the middle resistance, the yellow one. After about a month of using them with the game, 2-3 days a week, the band snapped at the handle, and can no longer be used. So now I'm down to just the light and heavy resistance. I was using these exactly how you were supposed to use them. I get that it was cheap, but come-on, it should last longer than a month. Total waste.

I had been looking for a good replacement for the weak band that comes with the EA Active workouts. I bought another band elsewhere, but the handles were too hard to hold with the Wiimote and nunchuck. These were reasonably priced, so I bought them to try.They're fantastic. The same style handle as the original band, so they're easy to hold, but much more resistance for a good workout.The only hard part is that until the fabric of the handle is worked out a bit, it's stiff and can bite into the hand. Once I used them a few times this went away as well.

Everyone that owns EA Sports Active needs to purchase this item. Excellent high quality bands, very happy with the purchase. I have only worked out with them once, and they are great...they actually give some resistance, unlike the cheapo band that comes with EA.Currently, they are a little tight (will loosen up with use), but there are three bands to choose from to get the tension just right.

I purchased these bands in November 2011 because I wanted more resistance than the original band that came with EA Sports Active. I was very satisfied with the way they worked and liked how I could choose more or less resistance for different exercises. Unfortunately, the middle resistance band snapped at the handle in March 2012 and the heavy resistance band snapped a month or so later. I'm not a very big person so I don't think I was over stretching them, plus I only used them two or three times a week. I will probably buy another set since the price is so low and hope they last longer this time.

These resistance bands are much better than the one that comes with EA Sports Active. I enjoy being able to select different levels of resistance throughout my workouts. The light grey band is the lightest resistance, the orange band is medium resistance, and the dark grey band is the heaviest resistance. I definitely think that using these bands has given me better and faster results with EA Sports Active. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone.
