Amazing Work Out Day After Day
This is the funnest Work Out video I've ever done. The initial set up is soooo neat! You go through your vitals and then do a regime of exercises and go through your vitals again and then she designs a workout program to fit your goals. She even suggests what she thinks you should focus on, but you can still chose whatever you want. As you go through the program, you have several different selections that become upgraded as you progress through her workout on a daily basis. She also checks you again after your 1st couple of weeks and takes you through the Vitals and Stamina Regime to see how your improving. Another neat aspect is the chart that you can go and look at to see a progress chart of your improvment.

Whenever I started this program, I was out of shape, and I still am as far as what my goal is set for. But I've already lost a little weight and some inches. I can get back into my jeans already and I'm feeling more confident about myself daily.

The other neat thing about the program is - during your workout - she stops for a break every now and then to see how you did on that part of the workout - she will give you 3 different things to chose from and based on your reply - she will make changes to the workout to best fit your needs.

I like the way she is set up and how she encourages you daily - even if you miss some workouts - she doesn't scold you too bad - but she does remind you how important it is to maintain commitment in order to reach your goal.

One last thing - My kids have even set themselves up a workout routine with her and they love it!!!! They like meeting the goals and getting rewarded with new workout areas and new music.

Has room for improvement
I have been using yourself fitness for two months now, and am generally satisfied. It gives me a good workout at home, makes me push myself, and I'm doing some new and different exercises. If you are looking for something like an exercise video that mixes it up so you don't get bored, I would recommend it. However, it could use a lot of improvement.

The most annoying thing is when you are doing exercises in which you cannot look at the screen and also keep proper form, she doesn't count or say anything such as "right leg, down, left leg, down" to let you know how long you are supposed to hold a position, or how quickly or slowly to move, so you end up either guessing or hurting your neck trying to watch her while doing the exercise. I read somewhere that they didn't want to make her too repetitive, but when you're doing exercises, you appreciate some verbal cues.

Another thing is that sometimes the exercise sessions are a little uneven. I found that the first time I did a lower body strength session it was pretty well rounded. The second time practically every exercise was some form of squat or lunge....so I decided in the future if it's harping on one area too much, I'll just do a different exercise on my own.

There are a couple of other little things, but I don't want to rag on it all day because in the end I'm still using it. I've just been disappointed in some areas. I would recommend it as better than videos, but don't expect too much.

Great for Workouts at home for those with limited time
I use my Yourself Fitness XBOX game atleast 3 times a week, and because fo the changing workouts, scenery, and excercise, it has kept me excercising. I'd highly recommend this for those wanting to work out but don't have time to go to the Gym.
