New fitness game released for the Wii

More On: Jillian Michaels’ Fitness Ultimatum 2010
If you’re a fan of using your gaming console to get your daily workout, you might be interested in Jillian Michaels’ Fitness Ultimatum 2010 which was released yesterday for the Wii. In succession to the previous game, Ultimatum 2010 will include one-on-one training with Jillian, new exercise routines, and a Resolutions Mode. You will also be able to customize a 6-month calendar to keep your training up to speed with your needs.

The workout routines include cardio and strength training with warm-ups and cool-downs to recreate the essence of a typical and in-depth training session. In the game, you will train on a tropical island. To my knowledge, this seems to fall in line with many workout videos whose setting makes me more likely to want to take a trip out of the country than to workout to. Nevertheless, if workout gaming is your thing, this “game” might be right up your alley. Is it just me, or is Nintendo beginning to backing itself up into a genre corner?
