My Fitness Coach for Nintendo Wii – Your Personal Trainer
Nintendo has stepped up the fitness routine for Wii Fit with My Fitness Coach for Nintendo Wii.
My Fitness Coach is geared more towards a virtual personal trainer with training programs set up specifically for you, based on a much more thorough fitness evaluation than Wii Fit’s program.
MFC does not however utilize the balance board and so you have to track your weight outside the program.
My Fitness Coach contains over 450 different exercises focusing on flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, strength training and more.
This program allows you to choose your music and backgrounds that you workout to on the days you choose to workout.
Your personal trainer demonstrates each move to you and motivates you to workout.
My Fitness Coach is a very individualized program. The initial set up itself takes at least half an hour to complete.
You can set up your program to include workout equipment that you have such as barbells, stair step or stability ball. You can include them in your setup but you do not have to use them on your workout days, your virtual trainer will ask if you are using them.
During this initial set up you are asked for body weight and measurements. If you want to enter these you need to have a tape measure and scales handy, otherwise you can skip to the next part.
In order to set up a customized workout, which is why you are using this program in the first place, you will have to go through the fitness assessment. The Virtual Trainer (Maya) will guide you through a series of exercises.
First she needs to determine your heart rate both elevated and resting. She will walk you through that part.
Next, it’s time to test your strength with squats, pushups, and crunches – and you must do them the proper way. Maya will have you record how many you are able to do before saying enough already.
Finally, she tests your flexibility by having you sit on the floor and bend as far forward as you can and hold it then compare what you can accomplish to some pictures and pick out the one most like.
Maya then asks you what you want to focus on, what your goals are in terms of weight loss and what your commitment is in terms of how often you are going to exercise.
At long last Maya is finished and has your workouts all planned out for you based on the grueling 30 minutes assessment she put you through.
You are now ready to start your workouts based on the assessment. Maya will also guide you through each day of your workout.
This individualization of My Fitness Coach is the core of its popularity. For people who want to know specifically what exercises they should be doing based on their current weight and fitness level and their long-term goals.
Even without the use of the balance board My Fitness Coach is a must for anyone looking for a virtual trainer to help get them in shape.
