Great workout-minor problems

I use My Fitness Coach and wanted some variety, so I got this product. Very easy to use and the exercise variety is great. Some of the arm strengthening exercises seem to have communication breakdown between the Nunchuk and remote, so the trainer either thinks you're not doing the exercise correctly or not at all. The cord connecting the Nunchuck to the remote sometimes creates a hazard for you when working out, so I'm hoping a wireless Nunchuk is in Wii's future. I would like to be able to select work out days for the 30 day challenge, since I can't make my work out on all the preselected days. Overall, great workout!
What's great about it: Ease of use, variety
What's not so great: Communication between Nunchuk & remote
I would recommend this to a friend!

Taking it back tomorrow!

I am a huge fan of My Fitness Coach and have been using that program for over 5 months. I wanted a change, bought "Your Shape" and I can't wait to get my money back. The graphics are horrid,, the camera DOES NOT "follow you" and, as stated by the other reviewer, you're told over and over you're moving wrong or not at all when you are "mirroring" Jenny's moves. (yes, I had the camera correct and had a full view of me) A basic squat is not rocket science nor is marching in place! I tried to use this program on 3 separate occassions to give Jenny a fair shake, but am too frustrated to continue wasting my work out time with this DVD.
What's great about it: The length of the USB cable (what does that tell you?)
What's not so great: Everything else in the box
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
