Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum

Synopsis

The Wii Balance Board gets a workout once more in this fitness title starring TV personal fitness trainer Jillian Michaels.

With Wii Fit, Nintendo proved that fitness titles don’t have to be time-consuming and tedious to get players in shape. Jillian Michaels’ Fitness Ultimatum follows the same basic pattern as Nintendo’s fitness title, with players taking the role of a new recruit to Jillian’s fitness boot camp where a constantly changing selection of fitness challenges are on offer.

Four workout types have been included - Weight Loss, Strength Training, Intervals and Hill Climb - and each can be set to a selection of different difficulty levels. Each regime can be played for either 10 minute or 60 minute intervals, depending on a player’s fitness level. Workout types have a selection of challenges that utilize the Wii Remote and Wii Balance Board, including crossing monkey bars, climbing ladders and rowing. Once each workout is complete, players can track their progress and measure the amount of calories burnt.

Jillian Michael’s Fitness Ultimatum is a far more intensive and focused fitness title for Nintendo’s console, but still keeps the addictive selection of fitness regimes these titles are known for.
