Ha ha, great episode Ellie.

I think 90% of people who are going to buy this are fooling themselves if they think they'll use it regularly or it will actually do much for weight loss.

Hmmm, looks like another braintraining to me. Fun for a while but ultimately doesn't keep you fit.

If you really want to get fit - without spending much money - do what I do, 100 situps every day after work and some weightlifting. Only takes 10 mins and gives you good results within 2 weeks.
Also, running for an hour or 2 or walking 20 to 40 kilometres in the weekend works like a treat.

Besides, all the hot chicks do that as well. *cough*

I love the way EGTV presenters are just totally balls to the wall, reminded me of JM's unashamed geek-gasm in the Lucas Arts special.

And the Rock Band thing. Lols!

Hasn't sold me a thing mind, but still, kudos :)

Nice review Ellie.
Maybe I'll buy one when it's in the bargain bin, doesn't look too bad.
No, not the lager.

Hopefully they pay you a lot for putting yourself through that.
Not really able to make fun of how silly the tree move in the yoga looks when you are wearing that get up though. :P

Great review!

Bloody aweful peripheral. Or well, maybe it's just the games that suck. Hopefully someone will come up with something nicer than this, which is certainly no brain training or anything like it.

I feel your pain! I put on a few pounds recently as well! Wii-fit age 29. Real age... well, it'd be rude to ask!

Is it just me, or did none of those exercises seem in the least bit... energetic? I guess it's primary purpose it to shame people into losing weight. But society does that already;and it doesn't force you to spend sixty quid on a small white step.
