I am not very good at video games-that even inclues Wii Fit but enjoy the variety and try to use the Wii instead of parking it on the couch.

This game features Jessica Smith and has some really cool exercise games on it and lots of music, venue, and level of difficulty options! The games include:

Three levels of cardio kickboxing
Frisbee
Defender (dodgeball)
Badminton
Pugil Stick
Three levels of step aerobics

This game is customizable and you can mix and match each 5 minute segment to your hearts desire! You can also choose your music, your venue, and your trainer (supportive or bossy). I chose bossy and she wasn't that bad! Jessica Smith comes up on the screen while your game is loading with a helpful healthy tip.

Some of the games use the balance board but some do not. The first time I played this I chose: 2 kickboxing segments, Pugil Stick, and step aerobics, I worked up quite a sweat in 20 minutes and the next day my lats were actually SORE!

The step aerobics were fun! I really enjoyed myself-the steps will be familiar and easy to catch onto for anyone whos taken a step class: A step, over the top, basic, knee left, repeater, etc. The kickboxing also included your basic kickboxing moves: jab, cross, uppercut, hook, sidekicks, front kicks, knee raises, blocks, and bobs.

The pugil stick was tricky for me and I will def have to give this one another try. Im not sure that I was doing the moves right. Some of the moves on pugil stick and kickboxing didnt register but Im not sure if that was operators error or not? I still got a good w/o though. Im not competitive and didnt expect to score well so those things arent important to me.

Overall-the price is good, the format is good, and I worked up a nice sweat. It has a lot of variety and even if I dont figure out the pugil stick game I enjoyed the kickboxing and step enough to make this a fun exercise game option. I need to try the other games out and see how I do.
