Active Life: Outdoor Challenge (Family Trainer: Athletic World in Japan and Family Trainer in Europe) is a 2008 video game for the Wii produced by Namco Bandai Games. Players use a mat similar to the Power Pad in conjunction with the Wii Remote in order to complete a variety of mini-games. The game is comparable to Wii Fit. As of January 30, 2009, the game has sold one million copies worldwide.[2] A sequel, titled Active Life: Extreme Challenge, was released on August 11, 2009.

An enhanced port of the game was released for the Nintendo Switch in December 2020 in Japan, and in September 2021 in North America, Europe, and Oceania. Physical copies of the Nintendo Switch port are bundled with two leg-strap accessories, which are required for co-op gameplay.

The Japanese release has the same title as the first game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (the Nintendo Family Computer in Japan) to be released for the Power Pad accessory.
