 This GAME is kicking my BUTT October 31, 2008

I have had this product for about 4 days. I have used it consistently the past two days. I chose high level for the first day, and medium the second day. I HURT ALL OVER!!! I have muscles I never new existed...I used to be a competitive swimmer. It is frustrating when the game does not register things I am doing, however, I sweated a lot and I am achy all over. I do not really care about the graphics at all, and they are not as horrible as what I have read. I enjoy the music and the workout is intense.
great workout October 24, 2008

I have had the wii fit since it came out. LOVED IT! However, I am starting to get bored. One can only hoola hoop so many times. I was on the fence about wether to get this game or the outdoor challange. Since this one used the balance board, I chose it. I dont really care about graphics, they are not going to help me lose weight. I did however start sweating after 5 minutes and was ready for more. I think this is a much harder workout and a nice step up from the wii fit. I would agree that the response time is alittle slow, however i think that just makes you work harder. isnt that the point anyway!
Much better than others are saying November 7, 2008

No, this isn't perfect, and yes there are things they could have done better.
BUT, I doubt many people are buying this for "fun" or just for great graphics. It is for working hard. While some of the activities take some time and practice to figure out just how to make them register with the Wii, you will get a great work out. Most of the "problems" that I read from other posters are more of a matter of taking the time to read ALL of the on-screen instructions, and watching your timing. If you do the action before you are supposed to, it won't show that you did it. Also, Jilliam gives both positive feedback (when you are doing and maintaing the activites well) and negative (when you aren't).
I have been using this work-out for about a 1.5 weeks, and it kicks my but every time. Heart rate up, sweat pouring off, feeling my muscles working, and the next day, still feel the workout.
I would only reccommend you buy this IF you want to work!
Love it!!! October 23, 2008

I love this workout. It is much harder than the WII Fit game. I did a 30 minute workout yesterday and buy the time I was done. I was shaking all over. It was a little tricky getting the moves done at first but once I did it was great. Jillian really kicked my but, she gives advise as you workout and the music is great as well and helps alot while exercising.
GLITCHES GALORE! This game was NOT ready to be released! October 23, 2008

The games that come with the Wii fit are fine for someone who doesn't excercise much and works up a sweat just going up and down 1 flight of stairs. But, if you want a REAL WORKOUT that will help you burn some calories, get you toned up AND is entertaining, This unfortunately, ISN'T IT! The game has so many glitches in it that its problematic at best to play. The response time between the Wii Fit Board is so delayed that you can start the game, not even touch the board or the controllers and it will play itself! This game should have opened the door for future possibilities for home workouts using the Wii Fit. But, instead its like a Bill Gates/ Windows Vista fiasco. At least with windows, you could download a patch for the system. You can't with this game, to my knowledge anyway. They need to RECALL every single one of these games and reissure the new ones with a coupon for another FREE game, since those who purchased it became Wii Fit Gunea pigs. Jillian Michaels needs to kick the game programmers butts for putting this piece of garbage out on the market to early. Afterall, its HER name thats on this piece of junk. She probably could too! ;-D
