Does anyone here use the video game Yourself Fitness! for your exercise? I have it for both the Xbox and the PC and have never religiously used it, but plan to pull it out soon and thought it'd be nice if there were others that had it.

I'm anxiously awaiting the Wii Fit game to be released but it looks like it's been pushed back to April... so I'm looking for other things to keep me occupied.

What is this video game? it sounds like it might be fun.

can you tell me a little more about how it works.

I agree I would like to know more about this!!

Hi Guys, you can find out more about it here: Maya, the Yourself!Fitness virtual personal trainer, a personal trainer for everyone. Home fitness for PC, Xbox and PlayStation2 (PS2).

Basically, it is a virtual personal trainer and you actually schedule dates with her to work out. The work outs consist of yoga, cardio, core and a little strength training.

The company had some problems and stopped making the game... we keep hoping it will come back for a second version. It was really popular a few years ago. You can still find it on eBay and Half.com pretty regularly.

oooh I like the look of that. How hard is it to use the Eye thing?

I think that it looks like fun. much funner then DVD's I love the idea of having fitness with a game.

Thanks for the idea. I like to use Dance Dance Revolution at home but it would be nice to try something different for a change of pace.

well how cool is that!?!? Don't you know my son never mentioned this was available. lol

I've played DDR once. We got the Eye Toy a few years ago to hopefully help my son get SOME exercise. It has wishy/washy where you cleared the screen by doing big arm movements - that was a workout!! Some karate stuff and so on.

What Eye thing???? I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Oh the Eye Toy... I don't know if it works with the Eye toy as I only have the Xbox and PC versions of the game. The PS2 is in my son's domain so I don't ever use it. I did however hijack his Wii for the main TV and have taken it over as my system :-) He's not thrilled with it, but loves that I actually spend money buying things for it. Now if Yourself! Fitness would be released for the Wii I'd just love it!

have a PS2 that I have never used...lol I bought it for like 75 dollars and it came with a ton of games and controllers but I have never used it I wonder if I would use it with this fitness thing. It sounds great! but I wonder if I would use it.

I have a PC hooked up to my big screen in the main part of the house. It's a lot of fun to do and it's a true workout with a trainer. The only thing is that the trainer is not physically there with you. However, there are "models" that show you exactly how to do each movement correctly and you can access those at any time. You are also able to track your weight and it tracks your workouts. It asks you how you feel periodically and adjusts the workout to your level and you also have to go through a series of tests to establish just what level you should start at before beginning the program. As you get more proficient your level increases. You can also tailor your workouts by using a step, a ball and hand weights. It's hard to explain all that this program does, but it's amazing. Oh and there is a whole program that's all yoga so if you don't want to "workout" you can just do a yoga session. If I was less lazy I'd definitely use her more than I have in the past. If you want something other than workout videos this may be the thing for you, if you can find it.

If you have any questions on her I can try to answer them for you.

P.S. I have been known to cuss Maya out while working through the program... it's safe to do that because, unlike Bob or Jillian (Biggest Loser) she won't beat me up!

Never heard of it, but the kids got a Wii for Christmas and I had a go with the boxing - I was stiff the next day, lol!
