Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2013

Description

Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2013 is divided into Workouts, Classes, Program, and Activities. Workouts contains 49 short exercise sets lasting approximately five to fifteen minutes, targeting areas such as the abdomen, legs, back, and upper body, alongside warm-up, cool-down, and routines intended for children or older participants. Classes provides 53 longer lessons covering kickboxing, dance, yoga, Pilates, power training, and Zen exercises influenced by martial arts.

You start by setting up a profile: age, height, weight, and usual activity level, with the GamePad camera used to add a photograph. During exercise, an on-screen trainer demonstrates, visual guides show the required pose, remaining repetitions, and performance feedback. Most routines involve a Wii Remote to track arm movement and estimate how closely the exercise has been followed. Program mode creates a personalised schedule after the player selects a goal, such as losing weight, improving stamina, reducing stress, or toning a particular part of the body. The number of weeks, sessions per week, and preferred exercise style can also be selected, allowing the game to combine different routines into a continuing plan. Activities are less formal with dance routines accompanied by music from pop artists. Completing sessions awards coins that can be spent on additional exercises, trainers, and music, while medals, challenges, records, calorie estimates, and an online activity feed encourage regular participation.

The GamePad is mainly used for the interface including exercise information and monitoring progress, while most physical movement is detected through the Wii Remote. The game does not support the Wii Balance Board and lacks the full-body observation provided by earlier titles in the series that used a camera or Kinect. This reduces the accuracy of assessments, focusing on the movement of the hand rather than the complete posture. Despite this it provides a comprehensive package with extensive content and more than 150 recipes, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, child-friendly, weight-management, and stress-reduction options with nutritional and preparation information. This reflects the overall maturity of fitness titles, which had move beyond a gimmick to featured exercise packages.
