    It's a fun motivational tool, and a neat little package that we're surprised even released considering the peripheral pack-in, but it's no Wii Fit, and Ubisoft's own My Word Coach software feels much more at home on DS than this.

    As an actual coach it really only works in general terms: there's no way to finely tailor the experience for your own capabilities in ways that an actual person could, and there's not much to commit you if the determination lapses. My Health Coach is a fair package for those who treat this as a first small step in getting off their plump behinds, though it's not essential.

    Not a game but an interactive exercise manual. My Health Coach: Weight Management might help shed the pounds if followed to the letter but it won't do very much to entertain you along the way.

    All of the information and progress is efficiently stored, which beats writing things out by hand. Alternatively, running for a while and checking some forums could be just as effective for many people.

    I agree with the critics, this is no Wii Fit. But it is pretty good. You can't do exercise routines like you can in Wii Fit. You can't standI agree with the critics, this is no Wii Fit. But it is pretty good. You can't do exercise routines like you can in Wii Fit. You can't stand on your DS and do exercises and see how many calories you burned. You can't do any excersises in the game. You can't do any exercise games in the game. It's all outside of the game. You can select 6 challenges and do them outside of the game and then go back to the game and say that you did them and log your weight to see if it changed. The game (I shouldn't call this a game. It's a tool). This tool gives you good tips and advice, you can play little mini games to learn facts, you can log food and activity time, and actually see little results. Wii Fit has more results because it has intense workouts like strength training and weird yoga stances. This game focuses on running, walking, and eating healthy. There will be results but, well, at least there are some. This is a neat little game tool.… Full Review »

    I love this game and I do think it makes healthy living fun; however, I already ruined the pedometer. It fell into water (don't ask) andI love this game and I do think it makes healthy living fun; however, I already ruined the pedometer. It fell into water (don't ask) and shorted out. I cannot seem to find a place to purchase the pedometer separately and I strongly encourage Nintendo to make this option available.… Full Review »

    THis has some good features, and I like the interactivitiy of the pedometre, however, it is too lightweight to be a truly useful tool.THis has some good features, and I like the interactivitiy of the pedometre, however, it is too lightweight to be a truly useful tool. I'd love to see them include weights of food, for example, using the weight watchers methods, or something similar. Now, any food you input is too general to be measurable. So too with the activities. This could be made to be far more useful for those of us on real work out and nutrition schedules, but it doesn't allow for any real schedule tracking. A workout calendar would have been an aweseom addition. I see it as a great start, but hope it is enhansed, and less dumb downed.… Full Review »
