There is a lot of variety of exercises.....so it can keep you interested. And the exercises can be fun and different then just the normal aerobic work outs. I have only tried it working out w/ my spouse....but it can be really frustrating. If it doesn't p/u your movements...you don't advance on. Sometimes you have to really be dramatic and forceful w/ your movements which is unnatural in exercise. You also have to have the controller and numchuk just perfect to pick up the exercises accurately. I felt there was a lot of technical issues when working out w/ 2 people. I haven't tried it alone. I didn't find all the exercises as challenging as I had hoped...but it would be a great tool for someone who is a couch potato and wants to get moving.
What's great about it: Variety, work out w/ a friend, can pick your avatar
What's not so great: Doesn't always p/u your movements, can be difficult w/ 2 people
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good work out

I do enjoy this workout. Some can be very intense. The camera can be sensitive....make sure you stand out against your work out background. My problem has been the camera picking me up....mostly because my background is darker along w/ my clothes. This is important...because performance sets the pace for future work outs....so the more accurate your are w/ movements and performance....then the more challenging your next w/u will be. My biggest complaint is she doesn't count down before she starts...she just starts the movement and if you are not on the ball...you have to struggle then to catch up. I am getting better after doing it a while so I pick up on the cues (music..and eye movements) but when doing new exercises...it would be nice for her to give cues as to when she is starting and what legs she is starting on.
What's great about it: good work out, different routines, option for selection
What's not so great: camera sometimes sensitive, be prepared to watch yourself live on TV-ugh!
I would recommend this to a friend!
