UbisoftMy Fitness Coach 2: Exercise and Nutrition - Nintendo Wii

I am so thrilled with this product. I got my husband a Wii for Christmas and began seeing different products that could be used with it. I decided to try this for me. Well, in less than a month, I have lost over nine pounds. For me, that ain't easy. And, it is so much fun, you don't realize that it is work. Of course, I am cutting back on the food intake, but it's not that hard, because it makes me want to. For the first time in a long time, I am doing something for me and enjoying it. The side effect, energy, and a better feeling of self being. A marvel for me. My hubby says that he can't believe the change in my outlook. Playing the games with him is a lot of fun too. Yeah.

I like this wii fitness program. It has a lot of options, also offers a nutricional plan divided by meals and your personal choices of foods, it even helps with the supermarket list. Also you can choose between trainers, the sessions are easy but effective it doesn't take a lot of time, it offers tutorials for each exercise and even a quick session if you are in a hurry. It keeps track of your progress, you can choose a target área an an alternartive one and both will be exercise in paralell.

The program is okay for a quick workout, but should never have been called My Fitness Coach 2 as it is nothing like the first version. What made the first version different (fitness evaluation and constant tailoring workouts to your capability) is not here. Seems too easy so far (one month), still waiting for the exercises to ramp up in intensity. I do not use the nutrition portion, recipes are more complex/complicated that I am willing to make when I just need to eat less.

Lost over 50lbs with this set up. Of course I was eating right, and consistently getting my butt to exercise, but this makes it feel like a game. You compete only against yourself, and if you have a wii fit board it help keep better track of weight and progress. Set up from yoga to boxing, in sure you will find what your looking for in this wonderfully set up program.P.s. It even comes with a nutritional recipie book thank makes you a grocery list based off of the items you choose! It doesn't stop!

I read the reviews & was prepared for the worst when I bought it. I decided to give it a try in hopes there would be something good about it. I'm glad I did. Granted, I would not have been happy paying the original full price, however I feel it's well worth the current amazon price of $7.00. I just finished a quick workout focusing on my chosen goal of "bums, tums & legs" & yes I do indeed feel the effect on my muscles so the exercises seem to target correctly. This is originally from the UK, although there's no british accent. I consider this workout to be slow & controlled & I like that it uses the Wii Fit board & the motion plus remote. I purposely slouched on some of the exercises to see if it would detect me slightly messing up & it did (the orb went from green to yellow to red in upper right corner of screen). There are only 4 backgrounds, I wish there were more interior backgrounds than just the gym but that's the one I selected & it's ok). 2 male trainers & 2 female trainers to choose. I chose the female (I always do on these games as I get annoyed at men telling me what to do & being critical - even virtual men. :) Both females have pleasant voices & are encouraging. The instrumental not-memorable music is ok (not great but not annoying). I chose a vegetarian eating lifestyle to see what it would come up with in the nutrition part. I don't like to cook & I'm leaning toward veggie life more & more as I get older so I figured I 'd pretend I'm already vegan. It actually came up with interesting facts about various veggies & fruits. I didn't bother looking at the recipes, however I did learn a little I didn't know about. (yes, I could find that info on line if I wanted to research it, but it's ok being on the game since it'll show you this info if you click on that part of menu - otherwise I can focus on exercises, progress & goals. The menus are very fancy but you need a little patience to navigate when first playing this game. I think the biggest complaint most reviewers on here have is that it is absolutely nothing like its predecessor. I absolutely love the original my fitness coach & wish there really were a follow-up game to continue with Maya & her personality, exercises, music choices, time limit & more adorable backgrounds. This game should have been named something entirely different as it seems the company wanted to cash in on a successful game by using the same cover & name. I am sure there were a lot of disappointed buyers when this game first came out. I'm not disappointed because I read all the reviews ahead of time & mentally prepared myself for a game that would be completely not what the cover implied. I'm glad there's a lot of usefulness in its exercises & I'm okay with the slowness of it. Probably because I'm aching from the faster exercise games a couple days ago. I recommend this game as an alternate exercise routine for when you want a change in your regular routines. I consider this to be low-impact, although I noticed immediately that being forced to move slower on the lunging, push-ups, etc, I couldn't possibly rely on momentum to cheat, so it's actually more effective than the same exercises at a faster speed. I didn't do the cardio yet, I only did the basic exercises. (I prefer my cardio to be at the speed of Wii Zumba 1 & 2 or else I get bored).In summary:Cons: False advertising with the title would be a total turn-off if I had not been prepared that it's nothing like the first. Music could have been more upbeat Should have been at least 10 backgrounds to choose from - preferably 20. Only 3 outdoor backgrounds & 1 indoor background isn't enough. No virtual trainer Maya & nothing like the predecessor. I wish they had continued with same format.Pros: Uses wii motion control remote & wii balance board correctly. Has a basic feedback orb to let you know you're needing to duplicate trainer's moves better. Plenty of goals to choose from that will put the applicable exercises together in a workout. Tutorials for each exercise that you can skip by pressing A if you don't need instructions. Is a good exercise game for those days when you're not feeling physically ready to tackle fast high-impact exercise games.

I ordered this game, thinking it would be an updated version of My Fitness Coach 1. It is not. Sure you get your own personal trainer and to pick your scenes, but that is the extent of the similarities.Pros:Gives you a menu and will even create a shopping list.The personal trainers are real people, not computer generated.You can pick 2 out of 25 goals to be your focus.It incorporates the Wii Balance Board.With use of the balance board, and wii remote it charts your progress.If you don't have time for a full workout you can do a quick workout that only takes about 10 minutes.It weighs you to let you better track your progress.Different challenges to kick it up a notch!Cons:There is a lag between exercises, but just keep clicking A and the lag is only about 10 seconds.It doesn't let you use hand weights or a stability ball like My Fitness Coach 1 does.Bottom line, if you are looking to get another workout in, because you are a little bored with the first My Fitness Coach, this one seems to be pretty good. I'll probably use both of mine alternating days. I really like that it has healthy recipes on here, and with pictures, makes them look super yummy! I think I will be happy with this game. I tend to get bored easy, so hopefully this will keep me motivated.UPDATE: I do not like this game. My Fitness Coach is still way better. Just going to buy a healhty cooking cookbook instead. Trading this one in.

Does what it is meant to.

This game does not play on a UK Wii. I had to purchase an USA Wii. It works perfectly on that.

I was unable to get this disc to play .

great

I am not sure why this exercise game is getting such bad reviews. I just love it, It is not the same as My Fitness Coach original version, but all the same, I love this version. ( It reminds me of my yoga game made by the same manufacturer). With regards to the exercises being shorter, I love it. As a busy mom I sometimes do not have the time to workout so having the option to have a quick workout is perfect.I now workout using both the original version of My Fitness Coach and the second version and love both games.I have not tried out any of the recipes as of yet, but I am sure they are good.
