Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum 2009 (wii,2008)
i think my feelings go with most other people that bought this game with the hopes that it would provide an intense workout in the comfort of your own home. the problem is that the avatar does not move with the motion of your body. There is little to non when it comes to instructions on how to make the avatar move when you move. plus trying to do some of the workouts seems impossible. you try to make the avatar mimic the moves you're trying to do and the just stays still. i actually bought this game for my wife. she's not very impressed with it. just to get the game to function the way you would think it is supposed to work is a workout all in its own. i definately would not recommend this version to anyone with little patience. It takes to long to figure out. hopefully the latest version is alot easier and comes with a little more instructions on how to make the avatar mimic your bodies movement.Read full review...
A good workout
If you're looking for a challenging workout, this is a good one. I thought it would be fun like the Wii Fit, it's not though. This isn't something I look forward to (like WF), it's something I have to do. She's got good tips included, but you have to work to open new tips. It's not very user friendly. I'd done almost an hour of workouts, needed a brief break, and couldn't get back to my workout and when I went back to see how I did, it showed that I hadn't done a thing!! I suggest using 2 wiimotes, not the wiimote and nunchuk unless you've got a short arm span. I like that you use the wii board, but it doesn't keep up with all your movements. It takes a while to realize how to throw a paint genade and to load the cannon. I can't always dodge the punching bag when running, nor does it recognize all my punches and kicks on the bag in another segment. If you're just looking for a challenging workout, I highly recommend it.Read full review...
Fitness Ultimatum
Was a little disappointed with the quality and contents of this game. Now I understand why so many people are selling their copy after one or two uses. I will keep trying to work through all the phases. Instructions on screen are not clear and when referring to the manual, it says to follow the on-screen instructions. What?? I was hoping for something better.Read full review...
Great workout!
I love this game! Some say that the sensors don't work with this game but what it really is, is that you have to actualy workout to get this game to do anything for you...I personaly love that! I mean come on this is Jillian Michaels!! She's not going to let you get off easy She's going to make you work your butt off!!! I would be mad if I spent Money on a Fitness game and all I had to do was stand there! So if you want a great workout game get Jillina Michaels!!!!Read full review...
Don't Waste Your Money
Waste of money. The game and the movements don't match. The nunchuk and the remote aren't long enough to do the moves. it could have been a good workout, but they need to re-vamp the whole thing. I have the WII Fit-which this is compatible with the WII fitnes board- and I get a much better workout-there's varity with it. The best one I have tried is My Fitness Coach. It has personalized workouts for you and it's non-stop. Plus there's fitness and diet tips. It's really a good workout and not as expensive as Jllian's. I'm going to attempt to sell my Jillians 2009 and hope that someone hasn't read these reviews! I'll try at our community board at work- Hope this helps-but don't waste your time and money on her workout. I'm really surprised she'd have put her namae on this.Read full review...
Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum 2009 (Wii)
Bought this item to add on to my Wii fit activities. Not too impressed with the program. Over priced for the quality of the item Paid $31.00 in store price is $39.99 (shouldn't cost more than $25.00 new or used). Exercises can get you moving, so that's good. Would rather have it interface with the Mii characters than the characters on the cd. Also, characters aren't as responsive with movement of the remotes as you find with Wii fit or Wii Sports.Read full review...
Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum 2009 Wii Game
I bought this game to add to my Wii Fit routine. It is awful. The controls do not recognize my movements, the tasks are not fun at all, most are frustrating because I can't get the on screen character to do what I am doing in real life. The balance board is not really used and that was one reason I wanted the game. There were one or two of the games that were fun, but overall, not a good game at all. Spend your money on something else.Read full review...
great workout and fun to do
Who would have thought that they would have designed a way for adults to want to purchase games to play. This is great for the whole family. My 2 year old even likes trying to play. I think that this game is a great incentive to get fit and have fun with the family.Read full review...
Avoid!
This would be a great fitness/game... except... it hardly works.. it doesn't sense your movements even remotely accurately. Very frustrating! Especially because it looks like it would be enjoyable and useful... but not if it can't detect your movements.
I researched on the web after trying it out and found this same complaint all over the place. Wish I had done the research first. All of the other fitness games we have that use the balance board and remotes work fine.
I would be willing to bet that all of these that they sold are either collecting dust or have been trashed.Read full review...
Fitness review
Fitness activities seem a bit hard to execute, using a nunchuck and wiimote, but I'm sure that with time they will become easier. Learning how to jump and run and some of the other stuff seems a bit much, but when you look at who is coaching you, then you should know what to expect.
Decided to buy it because under dr's orders I am to lose weight and need to exercie more. I work nights and sleep days so I needed something that offered a quick, 10 minute workout that I could do every day.Read full review...
