Advantages: Excellent workout, really work up a sweat!

Disadvantages: Takes some practising to get into it.

This is a fantastic product aimed at getting you fit! The idea is based around those dodgy TV programs that used to be on early breakfast shows and now have their own channel on Sky, where some obscenely fit person does a whole variety of complicated moves designed to get you fit that you have no hope of keeping up with!

This idea is much better as it goes at your pace, you can pause the workout, get tutorials on how to do the exercises, make the workout easier or harder etc.

It starts by getting an idea of your fitness levels, this is done via weight, body measurements (with a tape measure, i.e. round the biceps) and resting and active heart rates. I have to admit that after 2 minutes of jumping jacks (star jumps) I was shattered, and I still had to do squats, sits up and press-ups! Still it's all worth it in the end.

The game then goes on to suggest what you should be working out (I was told I needed to lose a bit of weight..... gee.. thanks!!) and will give you a list of workouts.

The game also provides stretching exercises like yoga etc (similar to Wii fit but without the board) and also has a range of music and environments for you to do your workout. It does take a bit of getting used to, for example if you're doing yoga, you often find yourself in positions where you cannot see the tv but she tells you what position to move into next and you soon get the hang of it.

Well worth using alongside Wii Fit, this is a great interactive workout video!

Summary: Well worth buying if you want to get fitter but don't like the idea of the gym.
