The camera-recognition is a disaster in low light!

Once the price is indeed now fallen dramatically, I now have me so well "Your Shape" indulged whose advantage it is that you have your hands free by the camera-recognition and thus own sports equipment such as dumbbells or Pezzi may establish -Ball. This principle was the predecessor "My Fitness Coach - In good shape" already, but there is no exercise control - similar to an interactive fitness DVD.

Both the exercises, as well as the training sequence are taken from the predecessor, which tells you where the Wii Remote to the program, whether the training section was too light, too heavy, or just right. This then the program can adapt the training next time.

In "My Shape" will now be determined by the camera-recognition, the intensity of the exercises. But if you like me in the background has a wooden ceiling, the arms are not ever recognized, because the contrast is too low - and long sleeve I do not like working out. Furthermore, in my attic lighting conditions is not always the best, so that the camera simply is struggling.

These problems lead to several prompts such as "Move your arms!" or "Move!", even though you look at the Wolf fidgets. Surely you can turn off the sound, because the simply annoying in the long run, however, reserves the disadvantage that the intensity of the training can not be determined manually and is therefore increased NIE, because the program considers that the training is too hard and you can not keep up in front of the screen.

The step aerobics exercises are a real disaster. I have been doing for over 10 years and have yet step aerobics massive trouble because there is no reasonable announcements and the individual step portions are too short. As soon as you realize what is required for a step, the exercise is already too late. That's no fun.

Furthermore, one can unfortunately not do the exercises individually select and put together individually. One must live with the workout so always, that is a suggested. This is especially stupid if you can not do various exercises such as due to back or knee problems.

Another shortcoming is the absence of an acoustic signal in the repetitions. For some exercises, you just can not look at the screen and then you get not at all with the pace at which it is to carry out the exercise.

Although All in all, the music compared to the little brother "My Fitness Coach - In good shape" become better and it seems a few clock errors have been fixed, but the catastrophic Camera detection of this fitness game an absolute been bad buy. Since I prefer to stay with the predecessor and live with the lack of exercise monitoring. Admittedly, the self-control of the camera image display is already nice, but unfortunately that is the only advantage offered by these successor version.

Those looking for real fitness fun, should prefer to "EA Sports Active" ("More Workouts" or "2") or to "My Fitness Coach - Cardio Workout" grab. However, in the latter it is only about boxing, even though the title "cardio workout" suggests otherwise.
