Ripcords Exercise Bands - EA sports Active for Nintendo Wii: Would ripcords exercise bands be a good replacement for the 6ft exercise band that comes with EA sports active for Nintendo Wii?

Ripcords would work great for the Nintendo Wii resistance bands. Ripcords are 4 ft long and provide resistance levels from 3-62lbs of resistance.

Yes, The Hygenic Corporation, Akron Ohio 44310 USA. Go with the heavier resistance bands, they changed the formula in the past few years & the bands are more slippery in the hands then they used to be & they tear easier. However, the latex bands rip far sooner than any latex free band. I highly recommend latex free hands for durability.

You can yes. You need the arm band, leg band, and the 2nd USB dongle. I googled it and this is where I read it to http://www.nutwiisystem.com/two-players-and-ea-sports-active-2-exercising-with-a-friend.html. hope this helps :-)

I have only done Zumba at the gym and on the wii, so I can't speak to the DVD. I will say that I prefer going to the gym, but the wii game was a great alternative for me. I like the fact that it gives you some feedback on your performance (which you can't get with the DVD). The only thing that I will say negative is that the first Zumba Fitness for wii did not have the best graphics and therefore was hard to follow. Zumba Fitness 2 was a vast improvement (180 degrees). The graphics are much better and it have the cues on the side about what the next move is going to be.

You don't use the included resistance band until Beta cycle but i kind of hated the band. I liked using dumbbells way better. In the videos there is only one guy with the resistance band and everyone else is using dumbbells. I think a mat would be good on hard surfaces but probably not that great on carpet. I didn't use one at all.

We do not recommend that our products be used with other equipment that we do not know the specifications for. Your best bet is to go directly to the Original Equipment Manufacturer and get their replacement parts since they are designed with the exact lengths and levels to work with their product. While we would love to have your business, we would rather you purchase exactly what you need. Thank you for your interest in our bands.

You need to have the Wii system and a remote. It comes with resistant bands, heart rate monitor for your arm, leg monitor for motion and the CD

It's velcro, so the technical answer is yes. This band has not held up well for me, though. The velcro has actually separated from the band. It probably doesn't help, though that my cat found the rubber quite tasty and has eaten a significant portion of the ipod sleeve.

My husband plays in a band and has used both .....really, they both last the same amount of time. I would get the ones that are priced the best.

Nope. My 80 year old grandfather has been breaking Body by Jake bands for 20 years. He can no longer find them @ Sears.

I could not tell you because when I got my product in the mail it did not work and so I could not even play the game without the arm band working... But I was able to create a account on the active game the first one. But was anyone there nope cuz you just solo it out.

I have the bun and thigh rocker and they work perfectly on that and the original bands look just like the bands for the firm flex I would say these bands are much better quality than the original bands at least they haven't broken yet and the original bands did not last long.

The stretch bands u see pictured with the golds gym circuit trainer do come with it. Also the jump meter. U attach the bands to the circuit trainer and use them while jumping. The jump meter will count how many jumps u do. This is pretty sturdy equipment. I'm glad I bought this one.

Although the Wii is a nice change... I prefer the DVD over the Wii workout. The music is much more fun, and I prefer to see the live instructors over the cartoon ones on the Wii.

The rubber bands are not included. You have to order them. We order the longer ones and should have ordered the shorter ones to give it a better bounce. The actual net is great and just like the original one.

I haven't tried it, but I doubt its backwards compatible. The resistance band is the same though.

These are only 5 ft in length but good quality. I purchased another set when I bought these and I found that the ones that are 6 ft offered by another amazon merchant, superexerciseband are better for my height.
