is very easy to setup and use! That is a big plus. You don't have to spend time driving to the gym, or setting up a piece of clumsy home equipment. Just set up your Wii Exercise game and plug in the data.The setup process will take about 30 minutes.
Start by adding your fitness data to your profile. You are prompted along the way so you know exactly what to enter. Start with adding your gender, height, and birthday.
Under the fitness evaluation, enter measurements that include biceps, hips, chest, waist, thighs. Yes, you do have to enter your weight.
Your resting heart rate and counted heart beats are measured and recorded.
Note your activity level:
* Sedentary
* Moderate
* Active
You then perform various exercises and record how many of each you could complete in order to measure strength, durability, and flexibility. The exercises include:
* Squats
* Push-ups
* Crunches
* Stretches
Finally, you get to choose your environment for exercising. Initially, you have three choices. As your exercise routine continues, five more areas are unlocked. Choose from these initially:
* Empress Dojo
* Urban Oasis
* Meditation Garden

Pros - My Fitness Coach
Nintendo Wii Platform
- Custom exercise program recommended for you based on your fitness level and goals.
- You set your own goals.
- Workout choices include yoga, cardio, upper body, lower body, abs, and flexibility.
- My Fitness Coach asks a few times during each workout how that segment was. If it was too hard or easy, your workout is adjusted accordingly.
- Workouts include equipment you have on hand: heart rate monitor, stability ball, hand weights, and step bench.
- Do not need a balance board.
- Plenty of music choices.
- Can choose your own workout environment.
- Maya, the virtual trainer, provides encouragement.
- Workout does not get boring because it is different every time, unlike an exercise DVD which only offers the same routine every time you workout to it.
- You get credit for other workouts that you do, such as swimming and running.
Cons - My Fitness Coach
Nintendo Wii Platform
- My Fitness Coach does not include the use of the Wii Balance Board.
- The last 10 minutes of the aerobic workout contain light toning activities like squats and lunges. Some people preferred the toning activities to be an option.
- No time is given during the exercise routine to grab the weights or steps.
- This Wii Exercise game is not specific as to where the body measurements should be taken. Some were confused as to what part of the thigh should be measured.
My Fitness Coach - Review
Nintendo Wii Platform
My Fitness Coach is very popular for plenty of reasons. Overall, it is well worth the purchase price. Easy to set up and use, you no longer have excuses for not exercising! You can exercise in the privacy of your own home.With the Nintendo Wii exercise game, if you only have ten minutes to exercise, you can grab that ten minutes and the game will save your place. You don't have to worry about the gym still being open, or driving for 20 minutes to get to the gym. Just pop in your My Fitness Coach Wii exercise game, and you are on your way.
My Fitness Coach is designed to work according to your fitness level and your own personal goals. So, even if you have not been exercising and feel like you are totally out of shape, get started slowly and work your way up to the fitness level you desire.
You don't t need any additional equipment, not even the balance board. Once again, you just need to get started with your program.
Do yourself a favor and get started with your fitness program. Order your copy of My Fitness Coach

- I have used Wii Fit but I tend to fall back to the Jillian M. tapes everytime. It's good; I was a part of a Wii Mommies group and that was fun. Great lens, as always. *Blessed* :)

- Thanks for your review of My Fitness Coach. This would be a great set of exercises to do at your own pace in winter. I was going to get the balance board so this would be the perfect fit. :)
