My resistance band on the other hand is ripping where the handles are tied around it, and it is stretching out more and more every exercise. The other problem that is extremely frustrating is that when doing regular lunges, the exercise holds twice as long with the left leg then the right. This is extremely annoying while exercising, as then the game says that I am either moving too fast or too slow. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a setting I have missed to change hold times on certain exercises? So far my leg strap is fine.

I too am mid way through the 30 day challenge and my leg strap is already tearing. There should be some way of getting this replaces by the company. Any ideas?

If the strap is break in less than a 1/2 point on the 30 day challenge it almost doesn't make it worth buying if the straps are almost 1/2 the cost of the total to replace.

I would like them replaced. They should last longer than 2 months. I have really committed to losing weight and being fit, but this holds me back. Why would you put such junk out? When can I expect an answer? I have REALLY enjoyed everything about the Wii Active BUT the tension band has not lasted and the leg strap is falling apart. I would like them replaced.

It is obvious this is a huge problem. For a "game" that has some faults, it is extremely enjoyable. I'm getting results. As you can tell improvements have to be made. Listen to the customer, they are telling you what they want. It is ironic that I should come across this web site when looking for a replacement for my Active leg strap.

When all the "expert" fitness folk say not to work the same muscle two days in a row, to allow for recovery it should be one day on and one day off. The 2nd complaint is that the resistance band needs more resistance or should have more than one level of band included/available. Fortunately I have bands that are more challenging that I can use instead of the supplied band. Otherwise I'm enjoying my workout (currently doing the 30-day challenge)!

It's like it doesn't realize I'm doing anything and appparently I have burned 208 calories doing 19 lunges - and standing still for about 1 minute or more between lunges. Doesn't seem right to me....
