A Personal Trainer In Your Xbox

When I’m not in front of my computer playing games or surfing the Internet, I enjoy working out at the gym or going for a long run and doing some pushups. You see, after playing three or maybe even four hours of Halo 2, I start to feel a little guilty and have to loosen those muscles with a workout.

I found the perfect marriage of the two with my lifestyle. It’s called Yourself!Fitness. . . a workout you can play off your Xbox, PlayStation 2 or PC.
This represents a new genre in the gaming industry as the first game title created solely to improve the health and fitness of the user, instead of just giving your fingers a workout.

Yourself!Fitness, brings the expertise of a personal trainer into your home. When you “make the commitment to yourself,” you build the fitness program that’s right for you along with Maya, the Yourself!Fitness personal trainer. She will help keep you motivated and assist you with achieving the results you want.

No two workouts are the same, and Maya builds the routine based on your progress and commitment level using 500 unique exercises. The different training sessions feature yoga, Pilates, cardio fitness, strength training, flexibility exercises and targeted weight loss routines. As far as fitness equipment, Maya will integrate what you may already own into the workout, so buying extra gear is optional. Meal planning is also an option with the program.

Highly recommended by Shape and Women’s Fitness magazines, Yourself!Fitness sells for $34.99 for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox, and $29.99 for the PC version at www.yourselffitness.com. This is a good exercise alternative if you don’t have a gym membership, and a great deal for a personal trainer. With a positive attitude and good self motivation, you too can get into shape with Maya.
