  My husband and I have been using the EA Active Personal Trainer game for about 6 months. We have been frustrated by the fact that the red stretch band which came with the game is not enough resistance for some of the lower arm exercises, but when we tried buying something stronger, it was too difficult to use for the above the head exercises. Then our leg band began to give way at the seam – which seemed way to soon for something that was supposedly designed for daily use. But we like the workouts and have been able to (mostly) stick with them, so we were determined to find replacements. We did not really need the socks, towel, and water bottle, but this was all we could find. We like that the band is somewhat shorter than the orginal, so we swap them out for different exercises. Although it’s a different color, I am pretty sure it is not a different strength, just shorter – by about a foot. The new leg band is the same as the original, but a different color. So, we are pleased, though we wish we had not had to buy the whole set.

  I purchased EA Active Sports More Workouts for my granddaughter (excellent program by the way). We had resistance bands but they kept slipping out of her hands which made her frustrated. We did not purchase EA Active so we did not have a leg strap. We used a small resistance band around her leg and put the nunchuck under the band. When I saw this kit I purchased it to help with her workouts.

  ** The water bottle is made of hard plastic. She dropped it and it didn’t break which is an added bonus.
  
  ** The socks and towel that came in this kit are really nice. Can’t really attest to durability because I have not yet washed either.
  
  ** The leg strap (one of my main reasons for purchasing the kit) is great. It holds the nunchuck perfectly in place while doing the exercise routines. It has a ring closure and velcro to keep it firmly in place.
  
  **Finally, assembling the handles on the resistance band was a snap. No longer do her resistance bands slip out of her hands easily during exercise routines. Overall I would say that this is a great kit at a great price.

  I purchased this kit as I wanted EA Active More Workouts – and it does not come with a leg strap and resistance band. I saw this kit for cheaper than the official kit and tried it instead.

  I borrowed the official EA kit from my friend before making this purchase.

  The leg strap seems a little cheaper but does the job. The length is a little shorter, maybe an inch or two. However the big let down is that on the official leg strap there is this non-slip material which is absent on this leg strap. However, with just what fabric is there, it has much more stretch which is kinda nice to be able to get it on snug. However, I’m worried about its lifespan and I could see the stitching wearing away.

  The resistance band is MUCH tougher. I had to adjust my workouts the second time using it so I didn’t pull muscles again. Design and quality wise the resistance band seems the same.

  The other stuff the kit comes with is like.. whatever free stuff they throw in that you don’t need for the game. The bottle is small, it holds 2cups of water. Mine was squished from shipping so I had to use a spoon to pop it out. The socks and towel seemed okay.

  With that said, this kit does the job for a cheaper price.

  I bought this to use with EA Sports Active More Workouts, which does not come with the leg strap and band. The strap and band worked as advertised and give a great workout when combined with the EA Sports product. The water bottle, towel and socks are silly throw ins, but because this is so inexpensive, you don’t mind getting those too.

  This package deal was worth it to have an extra exercise set for my friend to work out too.
