My Fitness Coach is a good workout and entertaining by bairdfamily5

( viewpoints news )I'm always looking for products that will encourage me to exercise. We tried the Wii Fit...I wrote a review on that a while back. Wii fit is fun, but very geared toward kids and fun...and in order to do 10 exercises you have to select each one and it takes forever. (Unless they have changed that).

Anyway, about "My Fitness Coach"
You start out entering your weight and all your measurements and do a fitness test. It takes maybe 10 minutes, but after that you sign on and she suggests a workout. You can choose any 15 minute increment up to an hour.
She warms you up, targets the area you select and cools you down.
Maya, the virtual coach is hilarious. Sometimes she is nice. Sometimes she complains about her allergies. She often fixes her ponytail. It's really pretty entertaining.
The graphics are okay...not super, but I'm wanting a serious workout and that is what you get. The more times you go and workout, the more exercises you get to try. At the end of the workout she will tell you how many calories you burned.
You can tell her you have certain equipment, but you still get a good workout without it. She wants to know if you have a heart monitor, stability ball, handweights and one other thing I can't remember!
I really love it. It is much cheaper then the Wii Fit and a much better workout!
