so for my gf, would you reccommend my fitness coach or wii active?

we use wii fit all the time but want some new challenges!

[MultimediaJay]

Can't really say. Haven't played any other exercise games besides this one.

So would this be recommended for men too? I'm a little skeptical because of the difference in physical structure between men and women. Is it catered to gender when setting up a profile?

[MultimediaJay]

The theme throughout the game is to use common sense and not do anything that could injure you. I didn't see any catering to the differences between men and women except with things involving weight and whatnot, but I assure you that if the game had an easter egg where Maya suddenly started doing full splits, I wouldn't try to exactly replicate the movement lol. :-P

I got the Wii Fit and I recomend it if you have children because my daughters and nieces and nephews well my whole entire family love it. I especially like the muscle toning because it has a presure measureing bar that tells you if your doing it acuratelly. I've been faithfully on the Wii Fit for a week and I've lost 4 lbs. and I feel more energized. My routine starts with Yoga then Arobics followed by Strenght Training and finishing off with the Balance Games to cool off. It works on carpet

I still haven't gotten Wii Fit yet, sadly enough.  :-)

I have this for the pc(yoursef fitness). It doesnt have as many body measurement options but most stuff is very similar to yours. There is no 75 minute option on workout length in mine. I got upto 100 workouts on it a few years ago . You get more music and scenario options as you go up in 10's. I do my workouts in my bedroom sometimes with only a 7 by 4 foot space but it is doable just. Great review and fun too.

Great review ^_^ I really appreciate it!

I have this game but its yourself! Fitness and its the same women the same intro but its for PC and Wii didnt exist. The game was for PC,Xbox and PS2 This is a copy of the original Yourself Fitness really!

My fitness coach is really good, I'm actually going to workout now,(lost 30 pounds) but the sequel isn't as good as this one, though i like the exercises. This one's commitment system appeals to me.

It has a meal plan.. you can choose your calorie allowance for the day and it gives you a meal plan with recipes. It's great. I don't know much about this Wii game, but if you have an xbox 360, it's easy to get an update to play the xbox game on your 360!

hi, i heard this is the European version of Gold's Gym cardio workout... does this include the Gold's Gym style boxing workouts? i can't find the info anywhere...

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for making this video. I want to lose weight and I am buying a Wii this weekend. I have been checking out ALL of the fitness games for the wii and reading reviews because i dont want to waste money and your review was by far the best. Thank you for showing a portion of the game and for being completely honest about the pros and cons.

I forgot to mention that you can adjust the sound settings so that you don't have to hear their music ( which is predictably terrible) but you can still hear Maya's voice. I have been very averse to exercise my whole life and like you this is the most fun I have ever had exercising. To increase the intensity of the exercises ( as Maja would say) I have started using wrist weights - first 1 lb and now 2.5 lbs and I'm really beginning to get in shape and have lots more energy. Fantastic.

Great video - i really love this game too! I think though that the 'how are you feeling today 'questions don't affect the exercise difficulty, rather how much encourgagement Maya gives you thoughout the game. I read this in the notes that came with it. I find the encourgagement really helpful. I don't listen to the music on the game but play music of the right tempo on my itunes which I find much more motiviating / energising- Michael Jackson works particularly well.

but nothing is perfect: I really miss the website... It would be nice if Ubisoft develop a website for Maya...
