Review on New Mind Body Yoga Pilates Workout by Joe Roberts

I wanted to add something to my practice collection. I was bored with Wii Fit Plus and wanted more variety. This game is very good. Pros: 1. I told the game I had progressed but after 10 minutes the trainer said "You're in trouble" and dropped me a level. I found it neat.2. There are yoga and pilates exercises that aren't found on Wii Fit, so I've got the variety I've been looking for. The meditation segment is good. I've done them all and it helps me relax.4. The game works. I noticed that I was getting thinner and it was easier for me to do the exercises. Just last night the instructor said she would take me to a higher level. w00t! =) Cons: 1. There is no exact calculation of calories burned. It only shows the relative calories. He'll show me a picture of an apple or a small yogurt so I can get an idea of how many calories I've worked off. 2. Some exercises are performed too quickly. Specifically thread 1 and thread 2; the transitions are very quick and it's hard to keep up with the trainer even after she "shows" me a few times.3. I'm very busy and I have to be careful how I spend my time. It really annoyed me that while I can choose a quick course or a regular course, there is no time given on how long they last. I attended 3 regular classes, each lasting about 40 minutes. The 3 quick sessions I went through lasted about 20 minutes but things could change completely and I didn't know it. 4. If you use Wii Fit Plus, you know that there are not only visual cues, but also audible cues. The NewU Yoga doesn't beep, so it's hard to know if you're doing an exercise like dog down properly unless you can look up from time to time to see what color the sensor is. I know I listed a lot of cons but overall I would recommend this game. In an ideal world, I could go to yoga/exercise classes, but I just don't have time for that. This seems like a better alternative; along with the Wii Fit Plus and my Zumba ride from time to time. =
