Wow i have had this for a week and noticed a marketable deference in my attitude and alertness. i have had a lot of fun working out and the rewards build it to the game keep you interested. the actives and exercises are great and do give you a good work out I have it set to low intensity right know but I still break a slight sweat and it has allowed me to start loosing weight. I would highly recommended this game, i only wish I had bought it earlier so I could have worked out more.
The balance board is not needed but adds some fun "enhancements" to some of the exercise.
