    Just finished my first week with your shape - and no I am not a paid endorser I am a 24 year old bartender from NYC who got the game for Christmas from her boyfriend. I give the game 8 out of 10s so far and am sure it will increase with time. I considered myself in decent shape working on my feet, doing about 2 hours of pilates a week and one 5 mile jog every Sunday.

I give the game 8 out of 10s so far and am sure it will increase with time. I considered myself in decent shape working on my feet, doing about 2 hours of pilates a week and one 5 mile jog every Sunday. The first 15 minutes of this game kicked my @$$! The workouts are awesome and I think its so cool to see myself on the tv! I like how I can personalize it and make it my own and feel like I really do have Jenny McCartney as my personal trainer (I yell back at her!) Theres regular warm up exercises but then when you get into the specializing workouts I havent repeated an exercise yet. It incorporates alot of different styles and I was real excited to even see some yoga positions thrown into the workouts! I don't understand why anyone would say that its a waste of $80. This is a way better by than the wii fit !… Expand

    I'm not from a marketing firm, I'm a consumer and I LOVE this product. It does everything it claims to do. It's very easy to use and mixes your routines up so you don't get bored. Some of the exercises are a bit hard for me, but, hey, I like a challenge and in the long run it pushes me to new levels. Love the game, would not hesitate to suggest it to a friend.

    I was annoyed with the program at first because it constantly told me I was doing crap wrong that I was totally doing right. I fixed my lighting, bought some bright colored work out clothes, and have been scoring high ever since. So far all of my workouts have been pretty similar but I'm not going to complain.

Within the first week I lost 5 pounds, an inch of my waist and half an inch off my arms - and this program is the only change I've made in my daily routine (I'll eat healthy some day). I love that she schedules my workouts and what to focus on because without that I would probably have a lot more "no workout" days.… Expand

    As a personal trainer I give this game a 9/10. If you're too shy, busy, or strapped for cash to enter a gym and get personal attention, this is the "game" for you.

(It really is not a game, unless you consider "winning" becoming more attractive and healthy! No way to lose unless you give up) The game gauges your weight and body type and sets up recommendations for workouts, and you decide how much time and dedication you can put in. Since it's in the form of a "video game" you can get home, plug it in, turn it on, and in no time you're working out. It's really, really convenient. I will be recommending it to my clients who, due to the recession, have to quit going to the gym. It is in my opinion the best breakthrough in videogame technology.… Expand

    I have to eat my hat, i have trashed exercise games for years, but i finally found something that works. I just need to find the time to fully apply myself and get the full benefits. Sadly wii do not sell time.

    This just came out about 5 days ago, I had read up on it with little to no review available online so I took a gamble and glad I did. First thing first, if you buy this, make sure you have a big area to move around. You need to be about 8 to 10 feet away from the tv and need close to 8 feet in width to move around in some of the exercises. The camera is very easy to install, plug it in, This just came out about 5 days ago, I had read up on it with little to no review available online so I took a gamble and glad I did. First thing first, if you buy this, make sure you have a big area to move around. You need to be about 8 to 10 feet away from the tv and need close to 8 feet in width to move around in some of the exercises. The camera is very easy to install, plug it in, turn the WII on and put in the cd. First thing to say, I have the WII sport active that I love, except some of those exercise are a pain to do with the cord between the controllers and the resistance band could offer more resistance (I had others so I just switched it). I plan on using both games and may purchase (unless santa buys it for me) the 2nd part of the sport active series. The Your Shape is true to it's word, you only use the remote to select your profile and activity level for the day. After that, you put the remote to the side and only use it if you need to pause or to view the tutorial on the exercise. It's kind of spooky at first to actually see yourself and your living room on the tv screen and the game is quite good at letting you know if you are doing the exercise right or not. If you raise your arms to high or don't lower them enough it will tell you. The only negative things I can say on this game is that you do not see how to do the exercise till it jumps into it and then you have to reach over to the remote to activate the tutorial. I think a way they could have made this game more user friend would have been that the first time the exercise is perform by the player, that it showed you the tutorial right away. That and that you need to have a big enough room to use this game unlike the other exercise games though I haven't had a chance to try all of them yet.… Expand

    ea sports active is garbage. obviously the below "reviewers" haven't played the game. when you experience the interactivity between yourself and jenny it's not so "awful." it's a decent game.

    Your Shape is more of a straight-up workout tool that you can use in unisons with a personal trainer, or going to the gym.

    Your Shape featuring Jenny McCarthy is a decent title, but it's in dire need of a shot in the arm. [Jan 2010, p.87]

    The included camera is a great idea, but Your Shape is loaded with lame workouts that probably won't get you off the couch.
