EA Active 2.0 is a great game/fitness program, but it has its flaws too. The resistance band shipped with the original packaging doesn't provide much resistance, and it wore out and tore within three weeks of starting to use it regularly. This pack of resistance bands are far more durable, provide a great deal more resistance if desired and overall make EA Active 2.0 a far more useful program. It was well worth the $15, but I wish the game had come with these to start with.
