Motive Fitness RTX8 Air Rower

Advantages: Durable, versatile, heavyweight, fully programmable
Disadvantages: Very heavy, need to be plugged in for computer to work.

...I have found this to be an excellent rowing machine, especially after using the concept rowers at gyms. It compares very well against them. The computer gives you the ability to really up the tension as you progress. It also offers you bespoke programmes similar to that in treadmills and cycling machines for overall cariovascular workouts. You can even direct the air back on you to provide some much needed air whilst you are woking out. It needs to be plugged in for computuer to work, but its a great all round machine. The seat runs very smoothly and the pulling mechanism is seat-belt like material, so very durable. It is extreemly heavy and so not easy to move, but the seat running bar can be unlocked and lifted upright to make storage easier.... Read review

These games are in theory less strenuous and less serious than the other sections available yet they really do improve your muscle strength, balance and even posture. Fit Cash For anyone with a competitive nature, obtaining high scores on the scoreboards for each game and competing against family members is plenty of motivation. However, you are also given additional encouragement through "Fit Cash". When you first set up a profile... Read review

Disadvantages: Can't think of any.

...some crap they seem to have made up to encourage you to the yoga activities every day. It's really how balanced you are, for example my balance was 48.9% Left and 51.1% Right at the last test so I've got almost perfect balance. Next up is the optional Athletic Tests. These are also a measure of your balance but are used to determine your Wii Fit age. My last Wii Fit age was 19 - 3 years older than I actually am! The balance tests include walking on the spot and twisting and turning to try and hit blue squares with your red dot. Once you've completed the daily tests you get a stamp on the calendar. This is similar to Brain and Sight Training for the DS, where you get a stamp for every day that you use the software. There are 8 stamp designs to unlock. The final one is unlocked when you've collected 30 stamps and it's a picture of your... Read review
