LOVE this workout. It was my first workout game I purchased for the Wii which was given to me for Christmas. As an X-Bike (like spinning only harder) instructor I teach class up to 4 times a week for anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours. I needed something I can do on my off days where I am not in a gym and don't feel like going for a 5 mile run. This was perfect! I definitely pump it up by bouncing/skipping from foot to foot vs. stepping but this is the difference I need. It works my inner thighs, my abs, my arms and I feel like I could actually hold my own in a boxing match (ha, j/k). The other thing that keeps me going is the more points I get the more stuff I unlock like new music, instructors, workouts, and clothes to buy and change to. It's awesome!

Works up a sweat

got this one to tide me over until I pick up Wii Fit next month, and found it easy to use, even without the balance board (though you'll wan the balance board eventually to take advantage of the whole gam). Even with the basic wii controls I was able to work up a sweat. The punches are probably not up to a real gold's trainer's snuff - would be nice to have wii boxing gloves - but if a cardio workout is what you're after, just follow the exercises, exaggerate them a little, and you do pretty well. Lets you unlock levels pretty easily which for someone as out of shape as i am is encouraging.

This game provides a great workout. There are instructional workouts that you must complete before starting the regular workouts, so you'll have a good idea how to do the moves.
The main workouts can be set by the game or chosen by you. There are warm-up ones as well as long workouts. The game has multiple workout levels and various difficulties at each level. The long workouts are broken up into two segments to allow you to get a drink of water, which you'll probably need.
The workout moves are pretty good. As you get to the more advanced workouts, you'll start sweating and will feel the effects of the workout.
Other advantages - you can pick your workout music (dance-type versions of songs). There are many to choose from. You can also change the volume of background music compared to the instructors voice, which is great as you get more advanced. You don't have to listen to the instructions if you don't want to.
You can use the Wii balance board, but only with certain activities. I prefer the ones without the board. You should have two Wii remotes (not remote + nunchuck).
Overall, a great game and worth buying!

i bought this game based upon the reviews i'd read. i recently purchased wii fit and love it and found that the boxing part of it was my favorite. when i noticed this game was basically all boxing i was excited but didnt know if it'd be that fun. as soon as i got home i tried it out and loved it! within 10 min i was working up a good sweat and my calves were burning. it seems a little fast paced when you start but once you get the steps down its easy. ive used it almost every day for the last week and can feel it already. definately worth the money!

Love the "game"

Purchased this two days ago and I was pleasantly surprised at the workout the game gives. Note this is not a game but a boxing workout.
First and foremost if you have two Wii Motes PLEASE USE THEM as the nunchuk smacks you in the face or gets tangled for brief moments while hooking and uppercutting...however that being said it is still totally useable with the nunchuk as i havent bought another Wii mote yet.(just got the console for xmas). and this minor annoyance will not deter me from continuing my workout.
The rest of this review is just personal preferences or challenges you may face:
*The "mini" games the jumprope...Man i couldnt get a groove going to save my life on this one. Once i jumped 90 times i was happy! then couldnt do it again may b operator error..SMH.
* Wish the segments were longer to keep heartrate up but still ok with the small breaks.
*Wonderful workout keeps your interest every muscle in my upper body hurt after the first day and i bounce a little extra just to keep in aerobic mode overall i love this and would love for a cardio boxing martial arts workout or a version two for this one!!

I picked this game up on the day it came out. I love the rhythm boxing on Wii Fit and figured if it was anything like that it would be good. I was surprised to find out that it does NOT require the Wii Balance Board (I have one but it's nice to be able to more around more).
I went through the training modes and found it challenging but not so challenging that I didn't want to keep trying. I spent an hour working through various levels and by the time I was done my calf muscles were burning and I was sweating.
If you are one of the million people stalking Best Buy for the Wii Fit to come in you might want to consider this game!!

Wow! What a work-out!

I read the reviews on this before I purchased it, and that's what really made me want to buy!
I brought it home, and figured I could stay in my work clothes and test it out! About 5 minutes into it, it was quite apparent that I needed to put some different clothes on. It's a real work-out!
After about 45 minutes of Shape Boxing, I was sweating uncontrollably and couldnt believe how hard I had worked, considering it was a TON of fun!
I recommend this to anyone that is looking for a work out at home...it beats home workout video's by a mile...I think the best part is it doesnt require a wii fit balance board.
It's great! If your thinking about buying...I definitely recommend this! It's a game, with great results...

I am in my middle 50's and am somewhat out of shape. This program is easy to learn and has me sweating and feeling many unused muscles, however it has me wanting to continue to use it. I have not gotten bored. This is great if you are looking for a good workout. I like that the Wii Fit Board can be used but you don't need to use it.
