Wii Active Outdoor Activities

With Nintendo’s Wii Active, you will be using a control mat, which comes with the outdoor challenge games. It plugs into one of the GameCube ports found on top of the Wii. This mat is a little more sophisticated when compared to the traditional dance mats that we all know of. The Outdoor Challenge mat is equipped with six direction arrows and button pads, allowing two players to use it at the same time.

The mat is divided into two sets with four button inputs on the blue side and on the amber side for. Each player takes one color, but if there is only one player, he or she puts their feet in the center. For good exercise routines, here are a few suggested games:

1. A good aerobics exercise is called the Timber Trail game. In its most basic level, you will be asked to run in place to reach your goal. The higher levels present chasms and other obstacles that you will have to jump over or dodge. Unlike the Wii Fit board, this mat is more durable, allowing you to stamp on it.

2. There are other mini-games such as mine cart or river rafting. Most of these games are cardiovascular exercises that are meant to make you sweat.

3. Boxing and inline skating. Follow your avatar as you work your way to your goal. The leg straps and nunchuks are there to help gauge your movements and stretches. Again, there are levels available for those who want to work their way up to the most difficult routine.
