Your Shape - Wii (E) Your Shape is a revolutionary new fitness product that is laser-focused on you, ensuring you get the most personalized, effective and fun workout possible. The Your Shape camera comes with the game and, using proprietary fitness tracking technology, scans you, giving you a full body shape analysis. The game combines that analysis with the results of your fitness test and your goals to create a personalized fitness program to help you meet your goals as efficiently and effectively as possible. Unlike any other fitness product, when you begin your workout, the camera projects your image onto the TV. Because the camera tracks your movements, your coach can give you real-time input on how you’re doing and advice on how to do it better. And, you get all of these benefits without having to hold a controller as you workout, leaving your hands free to focus on the exercises. In fact, the game encourages you to incorporate your own exercise equipment (weights, balance ball, etc). Just tell it what you have at home, and your coach will add it to your personal workout. No other fitness product provides this level of personalization and interactivity while leaving your hands free.Unprecedented Personalization—A full body scan diagnosis, fitness test, and your personal goals combine to create the most personalized workout plan possible. Your unique plan is developed to help you reach your goals within the time that you have. With Your Shape, you can easily create a multi-week program that adjusts as you progress. And each workout flows seamlessly so your heartbeat is up from beginning to end. Get the Most Out of Your Workout—The proprietary camera technology projects your image onto your TV, then displays motivational visuals on-screen that adapt based on the rhythm and tone of your workout, so each workout is fresh and exciting. Your coach is by your side helping you perform the exercises. As you exercise, your coach will give you verbal and visual feedback to make sure you get the most out of every minute you invest in your workout. And, if you’re having trouble, the game offers tutorials on all of the exercises—your coach will show you exactly how to perform the move correctly. Exercise Hands-Free—For the first time ever, you can experience all of these benefits without having to hold a controller, strap on a band, or stand on a board. The camera sees you, so it works without requiring any additional hardware, leaving your hands free to focus on the exercises.Fun and Motivational—Choose from 6 color schemes and over 75 music tracks; You’re never alone. Your coach is with you the entire time, encouraging you and pushing you to do your best; As you exercise, the game regularly displays how many calories you’re burning, giving you the motivation to keep up the good work!More Exercises Than Any Other Fitness Game—Compared to 25 exercises in EA Sports Active, and less than 50 exercises in Wii Fit, Your Shape’s 480+ exercises blow away the competition. The incredible breadth of exercises means a more focused and personalized workout. Plus, you’re workout will change regularly, ensuring you’re never bored.
