I be first disappointed because I have really high expectation and after my first workout I be already have the issue with the workout not register . well , after work out a handful of time , I do not have any of the issue any more . here be my advice before you get frustrated and start berate the game : - make sure the arm band be on the right direction -lrb- it do not work well upside down -rrb- . - make sure the sensor be face correctly : the leg face forward , and the arm face outward . - make sure the arm sensor be not behind you arm . - find the most responsive distance from the television ... mine work best when I be about 5-8 foot from it . - hold the wiimote when you be do band exercise . - use good form . after do the exercise a few time , you 'll know the best form . I never think I could have this much fun work out in my living room . I start yell and cuss when I have to do a lot of jump squat right after the linebacker challenge -lrb- right after lunge haha -rrb- ... this be a real workout . I love sport and I love football , so I guess I be bias toward the game . but now it be really easy to burn 250 calorie in 30 minute and mix strenth training in . I combine this with lifting weight in my garage right afterwards , and I be get in way better shape than when I use to just run and lift . go ea !
