I have lost 15 pounds and have done 62 workouts over the past three months. I have had slow and steady weight loss, which is what I was looking for. I love this workout. I do the 15 minute workouts five times a week, which is enough for me right now. When I have lost some more weight, I will step it up to the 30 minute workouts. The only thing I don't like about My Fitness Coach is that I can't make it understand that I can't do high impact. I wish there was a way to make it stop with the jumping jacks already. I have too much weight on my frame and my knees and ankles can't take it. Whenever jumping jacks are required, I just do as many as I can before it hurts and then march in place or something until the next exercise.......
I bought this because I was recovering from a foot injury and needed something that was more low impact to continue with my fitness quest. I like that you can adapt this to what you are able to do on a given day. She will ask you if it is too hard or too much fopr you and adapt the routine to fit. You can change the settings so you can exercise outdoors or indoors on the screen. I also like that you can customer set your workout. Again if you have a problem or not enough time on a particular day, you can adjust your workout for Yogas only and do 15 minutes, ir do a full workout of everything.,......
The challenge with any exercise program is always within yourself - getting motivated and staying motivated. Whatever positives or negatives there are to a Wii fitness "game," it'll always come back to that. The Wii Fit, in my opinion, is a landmark in video gaming and in home fitness. Its use of the balance board for games and exercises is really extraordinary - but limited. Over time, future versions of that game and other games that take advantage of the balance board will surely build on the foundation of the original. My Fitness coach lacks a few of the Wii fit's advantages: for one, it can't track your workout as well as the Wii Fit can - all it can do is ask you how you're doing, so you just need to stay honest. But My Fitness Coach does have a more dynamic cardio program (and other things, too, like building upper- and lower-body strength or flexibility), and its virtual environment and music is significantly more pleasant than the other-worldly Wii fit realm. I particularly like the scrolling text at the bottom that shows you how much more of a particular move is left and what the next one will be. I don't think I would want to use either of the two programs exclusively, but together they combine for a heckuva workout. No one can make you work out but you. If you're motivated, but are perhaps easily bored by repetitive videos or video games, I think this will be a good addition to your home work out routine.......
This game is exactly what I wanted and needed in a workout. The Wii Fit activities are too easy for me and have no variety. I wanted aerobic exercise and I wanted the routine to change. This game has many different steps and aerobic moves for a workout. You can set it at 15, 30, & 45 min intervals. You can tell it that it is too hard or too easy and it will change next time. You don't need the fit board, just a large workout area and some comfy shoes.......
I got this several days ago for my birthday. I love that this game actually does a fitness evaluation with your weight, measurements, resting and moderate heart rate, and exhaustion level with jumping jacks, sit ups, and push ups. Then, it helps you create a goal (weight loss, cardio, core, strength, etc) and a plan to help you reach your goal. For weight loss, it recommended 5 days a week for 30 min. It lets you choose the music and setting for your workouts and you can tell it what equipment you own and it will incorporate your equipment. I like that after every session, it tells you how many calories you burned. Two drawbacks so far - the workouts are your typical routines that you would experience at a gym, which is great, but for those of us that don't like working out, I would prefer it to be combined with a game or challenge to keep your mind off the exercise. Also, you have to type in your weight. It does not utilize the balance board to help you track your weight. Also, you have to wait until the next "evaluation" for you to enter any changes of your weight or measurements. Overall, it's going to be great. My husband is very fit and he really loved the workout he got. ......
