"Hey guys! You know I&amp;amp;#8217;m a bit skeptical when it comes to fitness video games&amp;amp;#133;but I think I might have had a change of heart last week, after trying out the new The Biggest Loser Video Game on the Wii console:I LOVED it! I wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t expecting to break into a sweat, but that&amp;amp;#8217;s exactly what happened after 30 minutes of jumping, squatting, crunching, lunging and mountain-climbing. The work out was set at a moderate level, but my heart rate stayed up (I was wearing my monitor) and I felt quite challenged. Plus I was sore the next day! Here I am with The Biggest Loser&amp;#x27;s trainer, Bob Harper; and last season&amp;amp;#8217;s runner up, Tara Costa, after the workout. The game is being released this fall. Here are some features I really liked: - It takes into account both fitness AND nutrition by offering expert tips and recipes from The Biggest Loser Cookbook. I like the holistic approach. - You can workout with either Bob Harper or Jillian Michaels, plus compete with a friend - The moves are clearly demonstrated for people who aren&amp;amp;#8217;t so coordinated, like myself! (As clear as a workout DVD, but way more interactive...) - The duration of an exercise or number of repetitions is clearly indicated on the screen (I like knowing how many squats I have left to do, especially if I feel like I&amp;amp;#8217;m dying!) - The cheesy Biggest Loser score that plays in the background is surprisingly motivating This is a screen shot of Bob demonstrating a plank on his knees. Pretty clear, right? What do you think? Would you try this new video game? How do you feel about working out with a gaming console in the first place? As for all you Biggest Loser fans, are you going to tune in to Season 8? It starts in a couple of weeks! Plus: Do you watch weight-loss reality TV? Check out more cool workouts here!
