resistence band in a weight world? compare?

The use of the band is new to me- thought it was a joke at first then was impressed after 1st workout. Curious as to what amount of weight is the band equiv. to? any one with an idea? thanks!|||I've wondered about that too - i want to upgrade to a strong band, but I don't know what this one compares to. There's also Wii Weights that you can buy now where the controllers hook into the weight that look like a WAY better option. But they are only 2 pound weights, which is too light for me.|||I think the EA Active bands are 2 pounds -- definitely less than 5 imo based on tests done with others that have trouble with 5 pound weights. Whatever the pounds of resistance its not enough - I purchased prospirit triple stepper bands from target for about 20 bucks which have 3 bands of resistance (i think 8, 12, and 15) where u can combine a combination of all 3 for up to 30+ pounds. I swapped the handles from the Prospirit ones to the EA Active's so that I can hold the controllers at the same time.|||Well, not sure on the band that comes with Active, but Theraband's red (medium) band compares to the weight world as listed below. I've also listed the comparison for the green, blue and black bands available (online) between the brackets.
25% stretch = 0.7kg (green: 0.9 ; blue: 1.3 ; black: 1.6)
50% stretch = 1.2kg (green: 1.5 ; blue: 2.1 ; black: 2.9)
75% stretch = 1.5kg (green: 1.9 ; blue: 2.7 ; black: 3.7)
100% stretch = 1.8kg (green: 2.3 ; blue: 3.2 ; black: 4.4)
125% stretch = 2.0kg (green: 2.6 ; blue: 3.7 ; black: 5.0)
150% stretch = 2.2kg (green: 3.0 ; blue: 4.1 ; black: 5.6)
175% stretch = 2.5kg (green: 3.3 ; blue: 4.6 ; black: 6.1)
200% stretch = 2.7kg (green: 3.6 ; blue: 5.0 ; black: 6.7)
225% stretch = 2.9kg (green: 4.0 ; blue: 5.5 ; black: 7.4)
250% stretch = 3.2kg (green: 4.4 ; blue: 6.0 ; black: 8.0)
For those of you who still haven't adopted the SI-units (I'm a European myself), to convert these weights into lbs, multiply by 2.2 (or multiply by 2 and add 10%)
The values given are those as listed by Theraband. As said I am not sure how the band provided by EA compares, but I expect it to be similar. For those who need them there are three heavier bands than the ones listed above.

Anyone want to share their custom made workouts?

I'm ready for some new stuff !! Thanks |||I have one that I run at first. Do alot of boxing, basketball, tennis and then dance at the end.
Have all the hard dance in there as I love the dance.
Its 40 minutes long.|||I have created several. I mainly use them as a 15 to 20 minute cool down after the 30 day challange. My favorite alternates boxing and dance with a little basketball, baseball and volleyball thrown in. It is set for 80 calaries but based on how much of a workout I did before I X a few exercises to make my 200 calarie goal and this makes it a little different each time

My feet don't hurt anymore!

I've had trouble with my feet due to having very high arches and a large range of motion in my ankles. Sometimes they would just ache - often in the morning before I even got out of bed.
The aching was worse when I started working out, but I'm on my third 30 day challenge and I just realized - my feet don't hurt anymore. I haven't lost much weight, so it's not that. I think all those muscles are stronger from all the lunges and my whole body is better at doing what it needs to do.
Who else has noticed anything similar?|||I lost 41 lbs so far so that might be part of mine. For me it was my knees. I could hardly walk sometimes becasue my knees hurt so bad after exercising. This is my third challenge and my knees are 90 percent better. I can hardly wait for the new expansion pack.
kathy|||I've noticed a lot less pain in my knees since I started working out. I had a compression fracture of my left knee years ago and lost a lot of muscle tone in that leg. With all the lunges, squats and running it has really helped get some of the muscle back and with the extra support the knee pain is a lot less.

Skipping tutorial/video/instruction screens

Rather than have pauses between exercises in my workout, I'd like to be able to quickly go from one set of exercises to another and by-pass any videos, instruction screens, etc. For instance, if I'm working on the boxing section, I don't want to finish one exercise and then have it put up the screen showing that I have to be using the controller and nunchuck before I get to the next exercise. I know that I do, I don't want to wait/rest or even pause to hit "A" to get to the next exercise. Is there anything in the preferences or any other place to eliminate these screens, tutorials, instruction videos between exercises.
Thanks,
Charlie Seelig|||Hi no I believe there is no setting to by pass video or A button. The video you would have to see at least once on each exercise or new excercise on the new Sports Active More or old sports Active before it by passes video. There is an option for new exercise for those that have gone through the exercise in old Sports Active. What you can do is press A button as you change up into next exercise thats what I do, its not that long before next exercise so you don't really cool down. What you can do is go the custom workout and customize how ever many set you want to do of say the same exercise and zip through them from hitting the A button you will be tired if you do something like cardio exercise.
Believe me that little bit of time you have between workout is not going to take away from your workout. I understand your avoiding the time for a more quick workout than a time consuming workout. One good workout is better than a quick workout. If there is a day where you need a quick workout then you could just uncheck some the workout that will decrease the time of the workout, then later when you have more time do a custom workout.
Keep Fit
Brian|||Hi Brian,
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try them out.

You ended up posting this in the EA Sports Active forum which is en exercise/workout game and I don't have a clue what you are talking about!
Let me know what game you are playing and maybe I can move it to the correct forum.
