Video Game Reviews of Gold's Gym Cardio Workout
Customer Review: Great workout, but some minor issues
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using this for about 10 days now, and so far I like it a lot. I especially enjoy the shape boxing workout. It starts you off with a simple workout, jabs and crosses, and the workouts increase in intensity/duration and complexity the more you use it (by adding hooks, uppercuts, and other things I haven't gotten to yet). I find myself getting an excellent workout.
I'm not so crazy about some of the balance board applications. I'm a pretty big guy, big chest, shoulders. Trying to use the balance board to do pushups just wasn't working for me. Using the board requires me to keep my hands too close together for me to do comfortable pushups. I have just enough room on the balance board to put my feet shoulder's width apart to do squats. Some of the other exercises I just didn't care for, although I haven't unlocked all of them as of yet. But it's ok, because if I stick to the boxing exercises, and do some of the pushups, squats, other exercises on my own, it all works out.
I find kind of silly that you earn gold which can be used to buy shoes, gloves, shorts, etc. And a teddy bear? Not sure the point of that. Maybe as I progress further, the point of it will reveal itself.
Overall, I like it, I'm getting a good workout doing the cardio boxing (and I find it to be a better boxing workout than other ones I've seen, like on the Wii Fit), just some minor drawbacks.
