Jillian Michaels’ Fitness Ultimatum 2010

In Jillian Michaels’ Fitness Ultimatum 2010, players enter a Hell Week-style boot camp packed with new features and energetic workout modes that fully utilize the motion capabilities of the Wii Remote(TM) and the Wii Balance Board(TM) accessory. Under Jillian Michaels’ expert guidance, players engage in lively one-on-one workouts featuring all-new core exercises in Cardio Training, Strength Training, and Balance Training superset routines.

The game features many new modes, including “Fitness Resolutions” and “Exercise with Jillian.” In “Fitness Resolutions,” players plan their routines for the next six months by creating a training calendar, while “Exercise with Jillian” gives players one-on-one time with a 3D avatar of Jillian Michaels that demonstrates pre-made or custom routines.
