While The Biggest Loser: Ultimate Workout may seem like another fitness knock-off, the fact it has so much health-related content packed into it, along with mostly good interactivity with the Kinect, make us feel like it deserves a recommendation.

This Loser will make you feel like a winner-if you're strong enough. Official Xbox Magazine UK. But if you want to lose weight, and your mind throws a fog of delusion and twisted justifications in your path, then the numbers and tips of The Biggest Loser might just break that spell. I ended up tracking my stats manually for weight height, neck etc and input them as opposed to using the body scanner.

Im currently working on an ultra-slimming program and find it challenging to do the workouts every day after not doing much but walk between my work parking lot and the building. This program is a good educational program to increase knowledge on diet, calorie intake and burning. The downside is the precanned comments from the trainers. Its good coaching at first but gets old after a week.

This is a plus and a minus as you get constant feedback from both trainers at once. One encouraging one straight up well how do you put it sarcastic and rude. Side note - Its difficult to navigate through the menus due to the speed at which it selects an item; I select an item to read it and it sometimes selects it before I can finish reading it to know what I have selected. Can be difficult to get to the right menu when you just want to get on and work out.

As a side note you can chose one trainer over another. I think this is my next step. For all of you who think the pixels are better on the TV then outside.

Good Luck and God Speed. There are 4 comments. This is a fitness tool designed to get you to lose weight, build muscle, and burn calories by simulating the experience of having a personal trainer at home in your own living room. When you first start, you have the option of starting a new 4, 8, or 12 week fitness program, or you can simply jump right into free play and start exercising.

The game encourages you to start a fitness program, however, and if you do so, you will go through a body analyzer and fitness test to gauge your initial fitness level. Once this is done, the game will craft for you a fitness program tailored to your goals, whether they be burning calories, toning, etc.

Whether you start a fitness program or go into free play, you always have the option to change your workout options, such as workout difficulty, length, or type.

Depending on your initial fitness level, Light, Moderate, and Challenging may not really test your fitness. Hard is appropriately named however, and Intense is freaking hard, even for someone in very good physical condition. While I am very impressed with the variety of exercises available for the different fitness routines, I am a little disappointed that there are only the three basic types of workouts. You can also choose to add in additional fitness equipment into your workout, such as a fitball and resistance band.

So how is the actual workout? Well, I consider myself to be a pretty fit individual, and for me, a 30 minute Circuit Training exercise on Hard difficulty was very tough and got me sweating and breathing hard. Being the Biggest Loser, the focus of the exercises is weight loss rather than building muscle, so there is lots of cardio involved, but to be fair, there are a lot of body resistance exercises mixed into the cardio sets to make your muscles work.

And how does the body detection work? Well, I would say that it works pretty well almost all of the time. It does struggle on some of the floor exercises though. One thing that is notably lacking from the game is a local co-op exercise mode. You can play co-op online if you like, however. It offers healthy recipes, daily tracking tools for calorie burning and calorie intake, and an overall health calculator.

It also includes challenges that you can do in addition to your workouts for increased overall body fitness. Everything is pretty straightforward, but I should mention that the menus are extremely clunky and the sensor has a hard time picking up your hand placement — thank goodness the body tracking in the workouts works way better than the hand tracking in the menus!

There are a few different backgrounds for the workouts, but in general, the game is designed to look like a fitness video. You can choose either Bob or Jillian the trainers from the show to run your workouts. Music is purely background fluff, though. It would have been nice to include a feature where you can load music onto your hard drive and use that in game, but no dice.

I recommend having a stereo nearby to play your favorite tunes if you plan on doing long or frequent workouts.
