My Fitness Coach - Nintendo Wii

If you are looking for an easy to use exercise program that's a bit more interesting than watching aerobics DVDs but doesn't have the gaming aspect (like Biggest Loser or Wii Fit Plus), this is your software. In-depth fitness evaluation determines a suggested routine, which you can change if you'd like (upper body, lower body, cardio, flexibility, etc.). Note: you do not use the Wii Fit board or Wii remote to record your motions. I found using these 2 devices with Biggest Loser was a real pain (Switch remote to right hand, switch remote to left hand, step on the board, step off, etc.). Seems like I was always moving equipment and not myself. As you progress, the program will increase difficulty to increase your fitness. Very easy to use after initial setup, just a few clicks to get into the routine and go. Exactly what I was looking for. PS I did not go with the Jenny McCarthy software since the camera wants a high contrast background and the exercises are primarily designed for women.

This is great for me because I work long hours and I am in an area where it rains a lot. Maya was great at initially accessing my physical abilities and then creating workouts just for me. I can't wait to write another review about my progress in the next 30 days! Great variety of programs to work out and many levels of difficulty. Compliments the Wii Fit program well with more arobic activity and full yoga routines built into one continuous workout. Compare to the Jullian Michael's Fitness Ultimatum, this is fantastic. No real use of controllers or balance board, but an excellent program to replace all the DVD's you may have to excercise with.

I've been working out since I got it. Maya motivates me. It incorporates my weights and stepper in the workout. My workout is personalized. It has a tutorial box you can click on and Maya will show you the moves step by step until u get it. You make your profile and can view your progress. After each 10th workout Maya gives you another fitness test to know your progress. I think its better than WII fit because you move around and do not need controllers. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! I have told all my friends about it.

So as many others have said, the "game" is absolutely amazing. I read all of the reviews last Saturday and decided to go to my local store and purchase it Sunday. I got home with the game and I immediately started it. You create a profile and they test your abilities and strengths to see where your stand point is at. From there your fitness coach, Maya, starts you out on whichever workout she feels you need to be doing whether it be cardio, upper/lower body strenth and so on. When I turn it on EVERYday now, I instantaneously get excited and I get really pumped. I do keep two bottles of water handy so when we take rests I don't have to run to the kitchen to grab them. I also do keep a small hand towel handy. (If you do cardio for 45 minutes you'll know why). I used to have a gym membership and it doesn't compare. I can workout in my own home and wear what i want and don't have to be offended. If I get behind or if I look silly only I will know about it. I love this game very much and would recommend it to 100 people if possible. It's definitly well spent money. Maya, the fitness coach, actually is really motivating I must say. She talks to you and encourages when you are doing your most extrenuous cycle of the workout. I also own the wii fit and do like it as well, but I won't be using it as much anymore. Hands down, I give this a 15 out of 10. Amazing, amazing, amazing....get it while it's on sale too!

A friend recommended this to me so I thought I would check it out for myself. You have the option to use hand weights, stability ball, heart rate monitor, and a step. You simply check off the items you have and what workout you would like to do and start. You can also have another member of your family join in as a group workout. I found it challenging, but not so challenging I couldn't do the workout. It will ask you a couple of times how you are doing and uses your response to modify your workout for next time. There was one exercise step that I found extremely hard to do so I modified it to fit my needs. I don't feel the calories burned calculation at the end is correct. My heart rate monitor said I had burned almost twice what it reported. Other than that it is a great workout and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great at home full workout.

I was reading reviews about 1 1/2 months ago debating which game to get this game My Fitness Coach or the Jillian Michaels Fitness Altimatum, the reviews for my fitness coach were real high compared to the other, I am glad I got this one I love it I work out almost everyday. If I go biking and don't work out that day I can still put that information in the program and it gives you credits, I quit smoking amonth ago and since I have been working out Faithfully and Hard I have lost 9 pounds and toned the areas I was starting to not like, I love the owrk outs you can have it make them harder as you go I work hard on them and sweat burn calories, My husband evan noticed a difference in my thighs and abs. Cant wait to try the new one coming out the end of the month!!

The set up of this game was really easy. I have worked out every day for the last week using this product. You will set up your profile and the trainer will find a workout that is best for you. During your workout the trainer will ask you for feedback. Is the workout too easy, hard, or just right. You will want to get a workout ball, weights, and something to step up onto. I really like the variety during the workout because it keeps it fun and you'll never get board.

I like the DVD because I don't need to buy the Wii exercise board. I can use this with equipment I already own like my step, weights, etc. It has a nice tutorial for exercises I haven't done before or need a review to make sure I am doing them correctly. The program has an easy set up for my profile and since I am 66 and not in the best cardio shape it adjusts to my fitness level each day as I progress. The price is very good and a real savings compared to joining a gym and I much prefer doing it at home and not having to go out somewhere.
