When you open the box you get a leg grip/strip for the NunChuck and a long red elasticated band for doing resistance based work (biceps,triceps). After doing a quick system update to play the game, I was in and be given a tour on how the system worked and setting up my bio information (I had to do a quick conversion from feet into cm’s).  Once setup was completed I decided to use the Journal and select the 30 Day Challenge (hence the title of this post) and will be blogging about my achievements across the month.

The workout I did this morning was a high impact one (there are two other settings medium and low) and the goal was to burn off about 250 calories, I managed to achieve 265.  The exercises were quite a mix and (although I don’t have a direct comparison) probably better than the wii fit ones.  The consisted of running,high kicks, lunges, squats, squats + jumping (that one is a killer),boxing, tricpes and biceps.  Each exercise was well explained and the representation of my movement on the screen was pretty accurate (I don’t know if they will update this when the Wii motion sensor is released) and overall I have to say that I felt like I’d done a work out, not the normal one I would do at a gym but I think this might be helpful to augment it.  Nevertheless I will carry on blogging and keep all of you 7 readers updated on how I find it.
