Advantages: shows calories burned, allows personalisation

Disadvantages: positioning of remotes difficult,

I needed more challenge after wii fit. This was a good piece of software it is challenging it makes you work and the information you enter helps to calculate kcal burned which is an excellent motivator and it helps you to understand the excerises that will help you burn calories. The excerises are challenging and various so you cant get lazy. If you select the challenge mode it constantly changes intensity of activity which changes your heart rate making the excercise effective. The resitance band is good as it works your arm muscles but the handles do come unfastened which means it does not work as well.

The only real drawback is that the positioning of the remote and nunchuk can be difficult and interferes with the continuity of the excercise. I find that doing the lifts I often point the remote slightly away from the sensor so it says your arms not moving and you end up concentrating on pointing the remote to the right place rather than the excercise itself but in 95% of activities this is not an issue. Overall very good software that doesn't have a limited life as you can make up your own sequences to excercise your specific requirements or go for the sequences it provides for you so the options are endless.

Summary: Excellent way to progress from wii fit and create personalised regimes to focus on key areas.
