EA Sports develops wireless interactive fitness program for all systems

EA SPORTS Active™ is one of the number one rated home fitness programs for the Wii™.  Now, Electronic Arts Inc. has EA SPORTS Active 2.0, a working title, in development and will be available this fall for PlayStation®3, Wii™, iPhone® and iPod touch®.

This fitness program will feature a wireless control system, powered by new leg and arm straps with motion sensors, a heart rate monitor, and a new online hub to track and share workout data. Working out will become simple, effective and easily go with you.

“The launch of EA SPORTS Active 2.0 will define a new era of interactive fitness with the use of innovative motion sensor peripherals and a heart rate monitor that provide users with a fitness experience delivering real, measurable results,” said Tarrnie Williams, Executive Producer, EA SPORTS Active.

The new system will give users complete freedom of motion. Using heart rate detection technology, the heart rate monitor will help users monitor intensity, providing constant on-screen monitoring throughout the workout and tracking data to optimize performance.

Users can track and share their workout data at an online hub serving as a centralized destination for all fitness, wellness and training needs. Users will also have the ability to download new workouts and exercises to their online connected PlayStation3 console to keep their workouts fresh.

EA SPORTS Active 2.0 provides total body conditioning. A three-phase, nine-week program provides a fitness roadmap to help keep users motivated and on track of their fitness goals. Mini-programs will also be available to add on. A personal trainer will walk users through their workout and provide encouragement with feedback.
