Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2012

I recommend Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2012 to those who just want something quick at home. Or those who can't see themselves air-punching or dancing in a group class. It's great for a quick morning burn, beating the cold winter months, or a gym trip that is too far away or expensive to be motivating. There's a solid fitness experience here and you'll see results. I would have liked to see more virtual games and variety. In a bit of reverse irony, it's something that has a place in gyms of the future. This virtual, block-breaking environment is the kind of activity that has the most potential. The standard training is great, but it's not new and it's not doing much more than watching instructional videos would. The product shines most when it combines a virtual distractions with true, calorie-burning benefits.
