The Biggest Loser

While the idea is great for this video game, the ability to exercise and hold controls while clicking on small scrolls and arrows proves difficult. I would have loved to do this everyday and log my meals and workouts but to enter daily calories is a chore. To get to a workout you have to go through several menus to get there. I will keep trying to play this. I just don't seem motivated enough to get past the control buttons....

I love it I use it almost everyday and it's always different . Something you don't get tired of ( just get tired after ) lol

This is a much better, more intense workout than Wii Fit Plus and I go to it whenever I really want to workout. But it has some key problems. They didn't think thru the Wii integration and each segment has you constantly getting on and off the board, pausing to put the remote in the other hand or in your pocket. This might not be so annoying if you have a room dedicated for working out, but in a small apt, I am constantly moving the board and finally gave up on using the remote at all. Hence I get no credit for much of the workout which defeats the purpose of Wii integration. The weigh-in flat out doesn't work. I was excited about tracking my progress with Wii, but the weigh-in shows my current weight and then judges me on the BL character I choose and never goes down. Pretty discouraging to add 30 lbs to my weight each week and see no progress. While the exercises are very good, all the audio comes from Bob, even if you choose Jillian as your trainer. Unfortunately there is very little verbal instruction, so when I'm on the floor doing abs or dips, I have no idea that the on-screen trainer has moved on. There is also no counting and no telling what will be coming up next. If you play the "game" then there are days when you show up to workout and there is nothing on your list so you end up putting together your own working out of their exercises. There is also no way to pause during the workout (except when it waits on you to change Wii equipment). All-in-all, you'd be better off using a DVD for the workout.

If you want a real workout, then this is the game to get. I feel like I really worked out and not just played a game. I also like that they give you recipes and tips to help you on your journey to a healthier lifestyle. I also like the challenges and how they keep it close to the show.

I purchased this as a supplement to wii fit...and I actually like it better. It works you more like a workout video and then tracks your progress. You track food, weight and can even play challenges. I love it! I use it every other day and sandwich the wii fit workouts in the middle. Well worth the money.
