Your Shape Featuring Jenny McCarthy: Product Review

This is a new way for people to get the same benefits that you would get from the Wii Fit at a lower cost to you, especially if you do not own a wii. It combines both webcam and specific exercises to hit those target areas that you might need a little help with. Here are some of the things that you can look forward to when purchasing the Your Shape.

Your Shape Body Scanning And Finding Those Problem Areas

When you first set up Your Shape, you will have to stand before the webcam that is connected to your computer. They will do a full body scan. They will ask you first to stand with your back towards the cam and then you will turn and they will scan the side view and, lastly they will do a front on scan. If you never really thought about what your body shape might look like this is a real eye opener for some people. There are no secrets here you can see all the areas that you might find to have a little more bulk then you would like. Then once the scan is done they will give you an option to choose which parts you think needs work and then whether you want to burn or tone those areas. Toning areas means that you want to build up the muscle that you already have. If you find that you have too much weight in your rear end or thighs or any other problem area then you might want to take the option to burn, because this will incorporate cardio into your workout and that is the only way to really get rid of fat.

Your Shape Exercise Program

When you get to your exercise program you can choose how many days a week you want to work out and for how many minutes. These can be changed, but they will not go any lower the 15 minutes in a day. This is a good way to keep on schedule and plan out what kind of exercise you want to do for the whole month, most will recommend at least trying to get in 30 minutes 3 times a week to stay healthy. You can choose what level of exercise you want to do sedentary which means that you have not done a lot of exercising and are just getting started and move your way up to the more advanced moves. This is a way to get started without over exerting yourself in the beginning. Then while you are doing the exercises it has a clock that will count down the minutes that you have done exercising and it will tell you how many calories that you have burned. These are all based on your movement through the webcam. It will tell you when you need to work on a certain area. Like if you are not moving your arms up and down like it shows the avatar is doing, then it will tell you arms. So if you ever wonder whether or not you are doing an exercise correctly, this is a perfect way to find out. The other plus is by knowing when you are doing something properly it lessens the chance of you getting hurt while doing it.

Your Shape Score System

This is where it gets fun, and is one thing that might keep you motivated to come back for more. There is a scoring system to the Your Shape and it is all based on how well you did the exercises. It is kind of like being in school, the scores are F for fail and you need to try harder and you get an A when you have done all the exercises correctly and get 100%. You can check out your percents while you are exercising. At the top the screen it will show were you are at, so if you do the exercise correctly you will see the percent go up and if you do poorly you will see it go down. This is something that might appeal to the average person who really wants to get that A on the test. When you are all done with the exercise it will go through and grade all your work and tell you the score that you had received for that day and what you can do to improve the next time. This can all be checked out on the stats page of your profile.

Your Shape Extra Challenges

There are some of other challenges that you can choose to add to your daily routine like the outdoors activities that include walking, running, jogging, swimming, cycling and other outdoor sports. This is a great if you are a walker because it can help you to incorporate that into your profile. Then there is the option of a secret challenge that you can choose to do that you have to add a code into the box and lastly they have their Nivea challenge that were you can use their bio slim complex for extra baby weight and then if you have some cellulite problems they have a product for that as well, you will receive a $2.00 coupon off the purchase of any of the 3 products that you would like to add to your challenge.
