When it comes to fitness, being home with two kids, I am not always able to get out and run or have some peace and quiet while I want to exercise. With my Wii, I can work out while the kids are napping. I found the Jillian Michaels’ Fitness Ultimatum 2009 to be more of a game and not so much a workout routine that would help get me in shape. It is fun, but if you are looking for a Wii game to help you get in to shape, this really doesn’t give you much of a ‘work out’. I did like how you can track your progress and I did find myself cranking up a notch. Being that Jillian is most known from being a trainer from the Biggest Loser, I was really hoping to get more of the Biggest Loser work out’s.
Game Overview
Jillian Michael’s Fitness Ultimatum 2009 is the first game of its type to combine a celebrity fitness trainer with the Wii and innovative Wii Fit board to offer you a fun and entertaining way to get fit. Under Jillian’s expert guidance, you can pursue a focused workout that helps you reach your fitness goals through rigorous, branching exercise routines and multiple difficulty levels that will get you in the best shape of your life!
