Jillian Michaels Fitness Adventure

SCORE: 82

Jillian Michaels is a well known fitness celebrity who has had some controversy surround her on a couple of issues. However Jillian Michaels Fitness Adventure is her debut on the Kinect on the Xbox 360. This home console exercise game has a twist. Players go on adventures with her. So imagine running through ruins of an ancient civilization, and doing exercises along the way. Because that is one of the work outs in Jillian Michaels Fitness Adventure.

It takes a certain kind of a person to be a personal trainer. When we lived in Federal Way I would go to the gym with Paul. He was one of the big dogs at the gym and knew many of the personal trainers. Few of them dressed like Jillian Michaels in Jillian Michaels Fitness Adventure. Oh many of them wore skin tight outfits so you could tell they were physically fit. But none of them flaunted it. In fact my hubby never flaunted it either. It was obvious in almost anything he wore.

The jungle and ruins look really good in Jillian Michaels Fitness Adventure. This is a neat little touch that will differentiate this Kinect title from all the other exercise games on the market. Jillian is very encouraging even when you are having issues with doing the exercises. Or the sensor picking up your motions. The menu screens have small text that use colors that do not clash. This was a real problem picking age, height and weight.

Jillian Michaels Fitness Adventure got me ready to exercise. This Kinect game does a fantastic job of explaining how to use the menu screens - by moving one of your arms and then swiping to make the selection. The exercises in Jillian Michaels Fitness Adventure are good and get the sweat glands flowing. There is also a nifty tracking system to see how you are doing.

I had a few issues with Jillian Michaels Fitness Adventure recognizing me doing the exercises. The game kept encouraging me to do it, even though I was. I found that Jillian Michaels Fitness Adventure is stringent on the six to ten foot range. Get outside of that and the game will show you on screen doing it, but it will not count. This is a minor issue but one that is easy for families to make.

Jillian Michaels Fitness Adventure taught me that it is fun to exercise. I appreciate how Jillian Michaels Fitness Adventure encourages us to live healthier lives. There are so many medical problems that can be avoided by exercising regularly. Jillian we know you are fit, there is no reason to show off your belly. All in all Jillian Michaels Fitness Adventure is a solid exercise title that families can use when they can not get outside to exercise. Or to sweat in the privacy of your own home.
