 Everything I had hoped Wii Fit would be January 8, 2009
I have Wii Fit and while entertaining, it seems more like a video game with the bonus of getting a little exercise in. My Fitness Coach, on the other hand, is not a game so much as the ultimate workout video.br /br /Have you ever found a good exercise video, only to use it several times a week, over the course of a few months, seeing the exact same people in the exact same studio doing the exact same movements to the exact same music over and over again? MFC takes the exercise video concept and brings it to a whole new level. It starts by asking you body measurements, resting heartrate, and how much you can do of a few key exercises. Then it asks your long-range goal (lose weight, build strength, flexibility, etc) and your profile is set. Then every time you work out you can choose a specific goal for the day (just like the long-range goals), a workout length, a setting, a style of music, and any optional equipment you might own (hand weights, heart rate monitor, etc, though believe me, you can get a FANTASTIC workout without ANY of that). And you're off! After working out it will ask you how hard you worked and adjust the intensity of your next session accordingly, and give you an idea of how many calories you burned. br /br /I only have a minor quibble in that the onscreen 'fitness coach' doesn't count reps. Usually it's not a problem but I have a small workout space and when I'm on the floor doing stretches or pushups or whatever, and I'm not able to face the screen, I don't have a measure to keep up with the pace. However, once you've done it a couple times you get a feel for the pacing and it's not too big a problem.br /br /I've always held the original Tae Bo Advance video as my gold standard for workout videos, but I tell you, an hour of MFC cardio kicked my butt pretty good. I'm looking forward to many great workout sessions with this little marvel of fitness.
Good product. January 8, 2009
You get a nice guide for excercising. The game changes as you progress, so it will not get booring.
This is Great! January 7, 2009
Thank you! Finally something I can workout with. I love this game. I've been using it for a week now and I love it! Much better than Wii fit. br /br /5 Stars all the way!br /
Best Yet January 6, 2009
This is an outstanding fitness program. You essentially design your own as you reply to questions after different segments....your answer affects the design of your program. You choose your environment, emphasis area, coaching technique, music, etc. It adapts to the equipment you have on hand and your fitness level. You choose the amount of time you wish to spend on it. Of course, the program has suggestions based on the weight, height, body measurements you have programed in. You can follow its suggestions or not. What more would want from an exercise program?
 Not my cup of tea... January 6, 2009

I'm not very impressed. This game doesn't use any of the fun aspects of wii. Yes, it's an ok workout, but I feel like I am just watching a DVD. Other then asking you if you worked hard during the last set, there is no other interaction. br /br /I would skip it and wait for something better to come out. Wii has to update the wii fit eventually, right?
