With the previous generation the fitness was completely on the honor system. The game had no way to make sure you were actually doing the exercises. This game adds more realism. They have included several incentives to keep on track and the side-by side workout screen was very helpful. I have to say I was impressed by the depth of this game and the flexibility. I would only add the ability to select exercises from all the workout styles, adding all my favorites into a single routine. I have to say that this game challenged me but it will keep me coming back to get fit. http://naildbiter.com/bhpDA
