    It's a fun motivational tool, and a neat little package that we're surprised even released considering the peripheral pack-in, but it's no Wii Fit, and Ubisoft's own My Word Coach software feels much more at home on DS than this.

    As an actual coach it really only works in general terms: there's no way to finely tailor the experience for your own capabilities in ways that an actual person could, and there's not much to commit you if the determination lapses. My Health Coach is a fair package for those who treat this as a first small step in getting off their plump behinds, though it's not essential.

    All of the information and progress is efficiently stored, which beats writing things out by hand. Alternatively, running for a while and checking some forums could be just as effective for many people.

    Not a game but an interactive exercise manual. My Health Coach: Weight Management might help shed the pounds if followed to the letter but it won't do very much to entertain you along the way.

    I love this game and I do think it makes healthy living fun; however, I already ruined the pedometer. It fell into water (don't ask) and shorted out. I cannot seem to find a place to purchase the pedometer separately and I strongly encourage Nintendo to make this option available.… Full Review »

    THis has some good features, and I like the interactivitiy of the pedometre, however, it is too lightweight to be a truly useful tool. I'd love to see them include weights of food, for example, using the weight watchers methods, or something similar. Now, any food you input is too general to be measurable. So too with the activities. This could be made to be far more useful for those of us on real work out and nutrition schedules, but it doesn't allow for any real schedule tracking. A workout calendar would have been an aweseom addition. I see it as a great start, but hope it is enhansed, and less dumb downed.… Full Review »

    It's very educational and definatly puts the ball in the player's court when it comes to accountability for your own health. It';s good if you want to get really in-depth with your activity and nutrition levels, or if you only have a couple of spare minutes in your day to pop open your DS and check what you should do later on in the day. Although it's kind of sucky that it only allows one player profile, it's still well worth the money.… Full Review »
