Advantages: Variety of exercises to match a gym workout

Disadvantages: Questionable quality of leg strap and resistance band

I bought this game to replace going to the gym and it is well worth every pound spent. You get to create a personalised character and you need to type in personal details like height, weight etc. There is a wide selection of exercise routines to choose from, or you can select to do an easy, medium or difficult 30 day challenge. You can also create and save your own personalised exercise routines. Routines include a combination of track work, resistance training, lunges and various sports activities. You have the option of using the Wii Balance Board with the game.
As you work out, your calories and duration of exercises are recorded onto a graph. You need to constantly set new goals for yourself and the game rewards you with a variety of trophies for reaching certain milestones.
A leg strap and resistance band is included with the game. The quality of the band and strap are not great, but you can buy replacements when needed. You have the option of working out with a friend, but then you will need to buy an addition leg strap, resistance band and Nunchuck
The best thing about this game is the endless variety of exercises and combinations of exercises - you will never get bored! You get a total body workout without having to leave your lounge!
Personal Trainer costs around £35.

Summary: Excellent game for muscle toning and improving your fitness
