Left-handed versions of right-handed exercises?

I bought EA Sports Active a few months ago but started using it only recently on my Wii. I set up a custom exercise with all of the tennis exercises that do not use the WiiBoard. I like to do this routine as a stress reliever. However these exercises seem to be entirely for the right arm. I tried a set left-handed by switching the hands for the Wii remote and nunchuck and the software seemed to handle it just fine. I then tried the same with the baseball exercises and that worked left-handed as well.
Does anyone else do the EA Sports Active exercises left-handed where the execises are not the same on both sides of the body?
I noticed that EA Sports Actiive 2 uses sensors on each arm. Does that program provide for right- and left-handed options for one-sided exercises?
Thanks in advance.|||EA SPORTS Active 2 does support left handedness, as each arm has a sensor.|||


EA SPORTS Active 2 does support left handedness, as each arm has a sensor.

Does that mean that each arm sensor is different (dominant arm versus non-dominant arm) so it matters which sensor is on which arm or that there is a setting in the program to identify which hand holds rackets/bats/etc. where that is appropriate?
Thanks!|||The sensors remain on the same arms for everyone (the left arm needs to have the heartrate monitor sensor) . If you use the left handed option, it uses your left arm sensor instead of the right one, for certain exercises.|||

Thanks! That is good to know as I have not yet purchased EA Sports Active 2. I am currently happy with the original EA Sports Active but expect to want to have more exercises later. |||

Each arm does NOT have a sensor. There is one for the left arm, and another for the right leg. You can designate yourself as a lefty. but it doesn't appear to make any difference in the exercises.|||The PS3 uses a right and left arm band sensor. he Wii uses a left arm band sensor and the Wii remote for the right arm sensor.
