The difference between Wii Active and Wii Fit is the mat. Wii Active does not require the use of this mat, which, to some, is a big plus because they will no longer feel the need to balance in this small elevation. Instead, they can use resistance bands that measure the amount of strength output the person gives. The nunchuk pocket holds the controller while they do leg exercises as it gauges exercise techniques and repetitions.

Because its target market is the female population, the virtual trainer strikingly resembles Oprah's trainer Bob Greene. He will be there to guide the users as they go through a variety of movements. As the girls sweat it out, the trainer eggs them further and encourages them to continue as they stretch their muscles out. The best thing about Wii Active; this new technological advance is the fact that the participants are given the freedom to choose their exercise regime should they get bored with their routine. The visuals and sounds placed are there for further entertainment. Now, they can no longer get uninterested because they are made to choose which exercise interests them the most.
