I have been using yourself fitness for over two years. Maya is the next best thing to a real personal trainer.she even wears different colored clothes each day. It is like having a personal trainer as she assess you every so many sessions and increases or decreased the work out. It is not at all what you would think. Makes a program just for you, incorporates a step, weights, ball if you have them.or not.Great, great program. I don't think of it as a game.if you attend your sessions you earn new surroundings to work out in and new music--it is fantastic for any age.
This really makes exercising easy- it keeps track of progress, varies the routine, and is very energetic and encouraging. My only issue is that since I am fairly athletic to start with, I found myself approaching the cap of many of the exercises- this program is more suited to beginners.
What a hit this was with her. Bought this because my wife loves Yoga and I thought that it would be nice for her to be able to track her progress. What I didn't realize is that it also shows the correct way to do the postures, incorporates other exercises and allows you to use exercise equipment you already have in the house. Glad I found it.
I'm a busy student, ok a busy and somewhat weird student(But my time is optimised). It got me into decent shape fairly quickly, so much so that my SO who fastidiously exercised on things such as stair masters, stationary bikes and some sort of a device called an 'elliptical' could not keep up during our jogs. Some time ago when I was in xbox1 land (approximately 2 years ago) I bought this title to help get into shape. My teeth are brighter and my legs/knees/lower abs are stronger. Whereupon I blew out my knee because I could 'run through the pain' I had one day. It was challenging, but that is why I liked it so. I am in the process of rehabilitating my knee through performing low impact isometric exercises while I brush my teeth(50 reps each leg). Since I now own a PS3 and my legs and knees are stronger it is time for me to revisit this classic and get back into shape.
I had planned on getting into yoga recently when I remembered that Y.F had awesome yoga instructions as well as cardio and strength training in it already. OK so I'm a dumbass. Interestingly enough I only jogged with her because she did not want to do Y.F with me, I capitulated after some discussion and so we started jogging. The point being Y.F got me into awesome shape without blowing my knees out. This is the first 'game' I will have ever have bought multi-platform, I highly recommend it.
4. Music is the worst - other reviewers are right about that. So with these challenges i manipulate her to do more of those exercises what I'm interested in. When it happens I pause and adjust the level of difficulty, then it skips to the next exercise. So if you have an advanced status at PS2 you'll need to start all over again as a novice. Bottom line is that this is the best (and the only) fitness program on the market and in spite of all its problems it really does make you stick to exercising routine. I saw some reviewers complained that Maya doesn't adjust the level of difficulty after she asks about it.
The most irritating for me is when it got stuck doing the same exercise over and over again. You need to have heart rate of 120-140 b/min after hops in physical challenge that it would consider it as a medium or moderate level for you. She actually says it, that she "will adjust the difficulty for segments like that" and the next segment usually comes in the next session. Basically it depends on what Maya thinks your weak side is and her recommendations for cardio, or upper body strength or etc.
I'm in pretty good shape and the whole purpose of working out for me is to keep it this way. To adjust the difficulty during current session (or for any given exercise) you need to pause the game and choose `adjust the level' from a drop-down menu. I own Yourself Fitness for almost four years already - got it when it first hit the market. I don't care that much about progress monitoring feature. I usually turn its music off completely and leave only Maya's voice on (there is such an option). And I totally love it - I even canceled my gym membership.There are some glitches in the program of course, but I found the way to work around some of them.1.
Hey, I stay with Maya for four years already and don't plan to leave any time soon. More or less than that and you will be stuck with a focus on aerobic exercises for the next ten sessions.3.
I use my own music instead and it really does make a difference.2. But those challenges determine array of exercises for the next ten sessions.
Hence a physical challenge is a boring and time-consuming hassle for me. Well she does but for the next session.
If i want more of core exercises i show bad performance in that group and so forth. So my progress report pretty much is a horizontal line.
The key is to show a moderate performance in a cardio group because focus on cardio/aerobic workout comes as a default recommendation. Well, unless the second version comes out - and there are such rumors.PS BTW it works with Xbox 360 as well but you're going to lose all the data when you switch.
