Video Game Reviews of Active Life Outdoor ChallengeCustomer Review: You WILL sweat and laugh with Outdoor Challenge! Summary: 5 StarsThese Wii fitness games are revolutionizing the way people work out. And with a little encouragement from parents, can really help beat the epidemic of childhood obesity. I have lost 85 pounds in the past two years through excellent nutrition and exercise. In addition to walking, the elliptical and other cardio, I have two different personal trainers for lifting weights and circuit. I have my own gym (treadmill, rower, spinner, medicine balls, Pilates Reformer, bench, free weights, bands, Bosu...) and also kayak, bike and do aqua classes when I can. And I have a full library of workout DVDs that I keep in a separate case and even bring when I travel to use with my laptop. In other words, although I am still overweight, I am fit.
But this game had me sweating in no time and is lots of fun. Can't afford a trainer? Get Outdoor Challenge, Wii Gold's Gym (mostly boxing), Fitness Coach, Wii ACTIVE and you're on your way. Variety will keep you motivated. I was not sure about this purchase, since Outdoor Challenge seemed aimed at younger kids. I'm 50 and have four teens. But it's a great addition to my workout regimen! The entire family can enjoy it and the games progress from simple to very difficult.
The game uses a special mat similar to that in the Dance Dance Revolution games. Mine cart is an amazing balance challenge. The whack a mole is a blast and helps with agility. Kayaking is a bit awkward though...I didn't feel the game responded as well to my movements with the remote. I love the rollerblading and obstacle courses. Jump rope and sprinting will definitely get your heart rate up! The game is motivating and I haven't unlocked many levels yet but it's PLENTY challenging. The different modes, such as Free Play and Exercise, allow flexibility for different users' goals. A fantastic addition to your Wii fitness library! Highly recommended for all adults AND children.
