Another new phenomenon in the same area of the market as the Wii Fit is the Virtual Gym. it is a CD/DVD like all fitness programmes. It claims to have the best instructors in the UK and you can have these masters of fitness in your home.
Unlike other, more conventional, fitness programmes where the instructor leading the routine goes at one pace and you at home are expected to keep up it doesn't have a fixed programme. There is a on screen libary of classes to suit everyones capabilities and needs. You chose the exercises that you feel suit you and you do them in your own time and at your own pace, stopping when your tired or at the end you can compile a programme that is tailored to your prefernces. Also by putting it onto a CD you can take it wherever you go. This shows how versatile technology has become in the last 10-15 years.
The programme even acts as a personal trainer. It asks you questions on your health, lifestyle, fitness and diet and processes this inforrmation in order to suggest a programme that will suit you. The added bonus is that if you feel that you are not doing the positions corresctly or if you missed a part of the routine, then as it is a DVD, you can easily rewind and double check to make sure.
The response for the new product was very positive. Although the results may not be as positive as if you go to an actual class but it makes it alot easier for those people whos life does not allow enough time to do regular exercise.
There was one minor criticism in that the programme, does not have a system in order for you to keep track of your progress, so if you are progressing, there is no way of knowing what level you have reached.
