Wii Active – The Best Accessories

To really enjoy all the benefits of the Wii Active, these accessories which cost $19.95 per set, will enhance the whole experience.

1. Leg Strap. This is placed around your upper thigh and has a pouch that faces upwards. This pouch should rest upon your thigh while the strap should be snugly fastened, but be sure it’s not too tight that it will cut off your circulation.

It’s a good idea to wear shorts or tight workout pants so you minimize any risk of the strap falling off. If your strap continues to fall off try wearing another pair of workout pants and/or shorts. Putting this strap on your bare leg is best.

2. Nunchuk. You must have this as it works with the Wii remote. This little accessory is going to help you measure the leg stretches and movements, especially when asked to jump, kick or jog in place.

When you put it in the leg strap, open up the pouch and put the nunchuk with the widest part in first, and make sure it’s put in all the way into the pouch.

It should be placed on its side inside the pouch so it’s comfortable as it rests on your thigh. The control stick will be completely covered with the pouch and pointing toward your right thigh so your leg movements will be recorded.

3. Resistance Bands. This is going to increase your intensity of the shoulder presses, bicep curls and many other workouts.

Depending on what kind of strength you want for your upper body exercises, you can use different grades. But, be sure you are using the type that allows you to finish the workout correctly.
