    :sad: The Jillian Michael's game is horrorable! I wouldn't waste my hard earned money on the game. I wonder if she even checked the game out before putting her name on it. The game is hard to get to read your moves. You move more on the game by standing still and moving your arms instead of jogging. I was really disappointed in the game. I think the Wii Fit is a better program then her game. I hope to figure out how it works soon.

    A hint on exercise is to write down your plan. I suggest that you do something like walking in the morning and then again in the afternoon some other type of exercise. I do a variety to help keep me from getting bored.

    Good luck on your quest!

    I just ordered My Fitness Coach. I'll report back once I have used it a few times. I do want to clarify this is *not* the Wii Fit or Wii Jillian Michaels. Apparently My Fitness Coach is on back order and ships in 2-3 weeks.

    Anyways My Fitness Coach is an awesome game. I've only played it a few times but it is so great and it gave me a great workout, and it lets you know how many calories you burn at the end of it too. Thank goodness for working at Best Buy and getting it the day it came out.lol

    I heart best buy!!!

    It is where I got my lovely wii last Christmas by some miracle. Since then - I'm a loyal best buy customer.
    I know you work there and can care less .. just saying.

    As for playing my fitness coach I haven't had a chance yet. I finally just got home. I opened it up on Christmas morning and then had to leave and go from place to place. What a tease. I'll start it tomorrow. I'm excited!!! :bigsmile:

    Ok .. I started it today.

    The fitness eval and 15 minute workout - thought I was going to die. Haha .. honestly though about 250 calories burned. Thats impressive. I want to do 30 minute workouts but I'm afraid the whole dying thing wouldn't be a hyperbole anymore :laugh:

    Someone bought this in my house. I haven't used it yet. It had great user reviews on amazon.com, I just haven't been able to get to it yet. Looking forward to doing it on my days off. Will come back and let everyone know how I make out.

    The Wii Fit isn't heavy duty, but its great for light days or if you are just getting back into the zone of things. Its fun. My children love to do it too so it encourages healthy living with a positive spin. Its fun to compare and compete with family members. It can get very tedious if you do it all the time, but if its a substitute for the gym on occasion or to break up work out videos, its great.

    Hi - I have got this My Fitness Coach and I do like it - even if I only have a chance to do the 15mins in the morning before work it is a nice little workout to get out of breath and sweaty.

    The only disappointing thing is for 15mins it tells me I burned 40 calories. Does that seem right to you? On here 15mins of say aerobics is at least double that.

    I was just wondering if you noticed the same?

    I just picked this game up and it kicks my butt! I'm not very athletic and a little too overweight to keep up sometimes but I get a really good workout from it. It's more intense then Wii Fit. Wii Fit is more fun and game like whereas Fitness Coach is ALL workout. Hope this helps!


    BTW, I agree with freckleston about he calorie issue. Very disappointing if it's true. I feel like I burn way more than it tells me.

    I know when I was doing it, I burned a lot more calories than it told me, and I have a HRM. That would be the best way to see how many calories you burned.:smile:

    HRM? is that a Heart Rate Monitor? Yes that would be interesting to see the actual calories burned. I just did a session this morning (only 15mins) and it said 29 calories which is less than a rice cake! I know i obviously need to do more at least 30 mins but can only fit in these little bits at the moment.

    HRM is a heart rate monitor. I was doing the session for 30 minutes, and I think it said that I burned 120 calories, but my HRM said 200, so there was a difference. It also depends on which exercises you are doing. I was doing mine with the step, so it may be harder (I haven't tried any of the other sessions yet):smile:

    I have been using My Fitness Coach for a couple of weeks now and I really like it. To me, it is similar to having at home DVDs but you get interaction as well. I use it about 4 days a week on days I do not have time to go to the gym. I usually workout for 30 min but if I only have 15 min I will still do it. I wear my heart rate monitor when I use it and usually the HRM and the calories burned on the screen are fairly close. I have been able to tell a lot of improvement since starting it particularly in my lower body strength. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good workout, particularly a beginner like me who could not do a "Shred" video to save her life!
