Advantages: Three or four really great sporting games Disadvantages: The need to 'calibrate' Wii Remote
Let the games Begin...
As a game which came free with the Wii console, 'Wii Sports' had little to prove - a title designed to show off the ingenious controls of the new machine, which at times meant that it felt like a bit of a glorified tech-demo. The sequel 'Wii Sports Resort' is tied in with the release of MotionPlus - the little white box that plugs into the bottom of the Wii controller, offering much more accuracy and finesse of controls - but does the game make the most of the new technology, or is it a missed opportunity?
Set on the tropical island of 'Wuhu', Sports Resort allows you to compete in twelve different sporting disciplines, each one designed to push your skill and co-ordination to the max. In this review, I'll take a look at each of the sports, whilst briefly explaining and summarising my feelings towards them ...

I have currently started the 30 day challenge, where I am completing workouts with my new personal trainer.
So far I have completed a high intensity workout which was very challenging, so definately for anyone who thinks they are a gym bunny!
The low intensity work out is more toning, but the resistance band enables you to feel toned but not sweaty!
I have used this product for a week now and think it was well worth the money compared to a gym membership, my muscles are telling me so! ...
