Jillian Michaels is one of the most popular personal trainers because of her prominent role in the reality show, “The Biggest Loser.” For those unfamiliar, this show chronicles the weight loss program of overweight individuals. Jillian Michaels is a trainer in the program and because of the results from the reality show, many have become interested in weight loss techniques offered by her.

With her popularity, Ms. Michaels created a workout program. But instead of a book and an instructional video (although she has those also), she created a game for the Wii console. The Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum Wii Game 2010 is a workout program developed to keep you entertained playing in a gaming environment to shed those unwanted pounds. It takes advantage of the Wii remote control or “nunchucks” and the balance board also developed for the specific console. This game is actually a sequel to Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2009 also released for the same console.  The 2011 version was released last month as well.

An Enjoyable Exercise Program

The biggest advantage of this program is on the way it is offered to customers. Instead of an instructional video or book wherein you really need to be committed, it’s offered as game which is very entertaining. It’s no longer a boring exercise but a fun game that helps you lose weight.

The program features nine exercises using the Wii control and another nine that will make users control the Wii board. A virtual Jillian Michael will exercise with the user in 3D so that each body position could be fully explained. Since it’s a game, users will be able to monitor their performance (including past exercises) and weight themselves to determine their progress.

Take note that this is not the only exercise program packaged as a game on Wii console. Compared to other games, the Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum Wii Game 2010 is actually a lot better. Better graphics, additional exercises and interesting interface wherein users can customize the scheduled exercises.

Disadvantages of the Wii Game

Don’t be fooled by the idea that you’ll be “guided” in the game. What you’ll get is actually a game that will just perform the exercises in pre-determined repetitions. Even though you do not follow the movements, it will continue. The sensing program of the Wii does not work that extensively that monitoring your real time movements during the exercises is non-existent. You need to extend your exercise program a little bit so that you can dedicate some of those lessons in learning the movements.

But the biggest disadvantage of the game is its requirements. You need to have a Wii console and additional accessories so that you can enjoy the game. This means you have to spend at least $200 just to enjoy the exercise program recommended by Jillian Michaels. You can practically buy at least three exercise videos and it will feature more exercises.

Ultimately, the Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum Wii Game 2010 is a great game. But if you don't have the wii and accessories spending nearly $200 just to enjoy this exercise program is not worth it. If you already have a Wii with a balance board, it’s a great game that will also help you lose weight.
