Great Fitness Programme
Customer Rating: 




There is a really well planned fitness programme. It's certainly the best one I've come across so far. You start with a physical challenge, to assess your fitness level. If I was going to have a gripe - it would be that you do this once a week, and I personally found that irritating. Yes you can skip the tests in it, but that would defeat the object, which was to ensure that the exercises are adjusted to suit your current level of fitness.
Following the fitness challenge, the programme suggests a focus. You don't have to stick to it, but I found it accurate. The programme allows you to add in other fitness work you do, which I liked, as I was able to add in my running.
When you select a workout, you can opt for the recommended one, or choose a different focus. There are cardio, flexibility, core strength, upper body or lower body. Then pick the duration, from 15 minutes, 30, 45, 1 hour etc..., and then the equipment you have (step, weights, balance ball). Then choose the music type, and exercise environment. As you complete more workouts, the range of music and types of environment are extended. A workout is then generated. The longer workouts have water breaks every 15 minutes.
I found I enjoyed them - they are fun. There is plenty of variety. If you are not used to exercise classes, some of the movements take a minute or so to pick up, but it's enjoyable. It doesn't use a Wii balance board, but if you have a raise to bring it up to a normal step height, then you can use it. I did find mine was a little short for one or two exercises though - but nothing I couldn't work around.
