6 days after the birth of our baby girl, Lilly, I bought 2 Nintendo WII games on trademe for $51, they retail for $50 each. One of them is called "Personal Coach" and the other GOLD GYM's Cardio Workout.
I received them today, so after both babies have gone to sleep, I decided to try them out. As I have mentioned in my last post, I still have not purchased the WII balance board yet. Insert the "Personal Coach" disc into the console, cruise around the control panel of the game, entered all my measurements, weight etc, I then realised that, the Personal Coach game nothing but a personalised, workout DVD that is similar to an aerobic DVD that requires you to follow the "moves" of your personal coach. It did ask you to commit to certain volume of workout and on certain days. It also asked if I own a step board, heart rate monitor and a swiss ball, so I can carry out some other routines that utilise these equipments.
Overall, I find Personal Coach fairly dissapointing, I wouldnt recommend you buy it.
The GOLD GYM's cardio workout - I tried it without the WII balance board, therefore I was fairly restrictive in what I can do with the game. The shape boxing, mitt training and dodging training are better, in comparison the WII SPORTS game's boxing section, it added other punches, such as RIGHT and LEFT hooks and upper cuts, on top of jabs and crosses. Overall, this is a better game, compared to personal coach. I guess it can only get better with the balance board, so watch this space.
Just an addition to my previous post, if you are looking to buy an extra nunchuk controller, you can purchase one from www.trademe.co.nz for under $40, brand new, it is not the Nintendo brand but a generic one, it works find, why pay $99 in the shops!!!
