Your Shape Review | Forums

Is there a list of all the equipment that you can incorporate? Not just accesories for the Wii, but stuff you have at home, like weights and things?
Also, you know how you can choose to target certain parts of your body? Well, I was wondering if you could choose to target multiple areas. And if you can, would they be on different days, or all in one workout?

I'm very pasty pale also and Jenny doesn't like it either so I have to watch my clothing selections. You're right-no baggy items either.

If you're still getting blurry movements try moving back from the camera. The instructions say you schould be 8-10 feet away. I know when I moved back it really made a difference in my "watch your arms" and percentage.

This is my third week of using Your Shape almost daily, and the game has wacked out. Monday and Tusday were the exact same workout, Wednesday, my first upper body workout, expected me to be able to do 6 sets of pushups -- that's 70 to 80 pushups!!! Today, I selected dumbells as extra equipment, and Jenny included exercises using a step. Ubisoft, you'd better be coming out with patches soon.

I've had Your Shape for a week and a half and I absolutely love it!! Although it is pretty picky with the lighting and the clothes you wear, once you get that part figured out, it is ON!! It prompted me to do another evaluation yesterday and I set my major goal to burn my stomach...let's just say I am so sore today I can barely move!! But not just in my stomach, also the entire top half of my legs and my butt.
I'm so excited that it picked up on what I was actually trying to do and it gives me hope that this is THE exercise game I've been looking for. I honestly didn't get any results using Wii Fit for an entire month if that tells ya anything.
As far as the codes...I too have been looking for them and am hoping that after some prolonged use the game itself will provide them.

I was so excited to get this game...and then I "played" it. I got a 96% on my first workout and am pretty consistent in that score. My score goes down considerably when Jenny does some of the planks and floor work, although I am doing the same thing as her I do like her pace, except when you add equipment. All the pauses between to pick up and put away your equipment are too excessive!

OYNNEJ is an extra challenge code that was given to me on Facebook (I became a fan of My Shape on there).

Nutrition Plan:

I am staying between 1,100 and 1,400 calories per day. I plan to eat three meals each day plus two snacks. Food will consist of 3 servings of protein, 2 servings of fruit, 2 servings of vegetables, and 2 servings of whole grains. I will also eat the occassional sweet treat--a cookie or two, pieces of dark chocolate, hot cocoa, etc. because I don't want my nutrition plan to feel like a diet. I am hopelessly addicted to Mountain Dew. I am going to try to keep it to one can a day max and drink only water or low-fat milk the rest of the day.

How are you doing so far? If you tweak your nutrition a bit, your weight will come off faster. Since you are still drinking Mountain Dew, you should cut the fruit out of your diet (too much sugar) and replace it with protein. Protein is the building block of all muscle, which is more efficient in burning fat. Choosing your protein wisely is also important-I'd stick to white meat chicken and turkey. Also, you should eat your grains in the morning so you can burn them during the day. Also, don't forget about sodium. If you take all added salt out of your diet, I promise you'll feel better and look better! Mrs. Dash makes some pretty tasty seasonings that are all salt free (and not chemicals either!!). I would cut the dairy out, since it's difficult for the body to digest, but if you keep it, eat it in the AM. Can't wait for your update!
