I just got this today!! It totally kicked my butt... I set the level to intermediate, and decided to just leave the 30day goal thing how it was set ( next month I'll up it!!) I agree with most of the pros and cons so far. I realized too, that I had to wear the leg band high up on my thigh. Also, the type of material in my workout pants mattered a HUGE deal. Started with windpant material, ended with shorts and the strap on my skin.

The rollerblading was brutal for me, as was the running. Overall I like it!! I like the goals, I like the trophies. The sports drills are pretty cool.

Best part: Don't need the expensive balance board!! I will definitely be joining the challenge!!

I struggle with the rollerblading too. The first time I tried it I did 2 tricks (not sure how) and now I can't get any. And my quads are killing me from squatting to get the speed up then jumping. but, I like a challenge so I amdetermined to figure the tricks out! My pants are a kind of slippery material for the band as well. I'll try shorts tomorrow.

I love that exercise is now a game. That's really the push I needed to get off my butt and get moving again. I'm a videogame-a-holic. I get so excited opening up new items and getting little pixel trophies, and when I finally win this game, it's going to be a lot more rewarding than beating Zelda or Mario!

Mine just arrived and I will be pulling it out tomorrow (it is after midnight now and I am worried that starting now will not let me sleep tonight!)

I can't wait to see how it works for me! I have been using Wii Fit for some time (you know...off and on ) and hope to add this to the mix (I don't think I want to completely give up the yoga!)

Does anyone know if the rest days on the 30 Day Challenge are firm or can I change them to better work with my schedule?

Your question got me curious, so I just went to play with the menu's a bit. It doesn't look like there's a way to change it manually. But it seems to adjust if you create your own rest day (by not "playing"). I just missed two days due to pain, and it marked those down as rest, put me on the day 4 workout, and set up rest days for the remainder of the challenge.

I didn't pay a lot of attention to what the rest days were originally though. I'll keep my eyes out for it now though, and maybe even read the manual

That's good to know. I'm a stickler for a schedule but there's one day coming up that is goig to be crazy busy. I will likely find time to do it but in case I don't at least now I know what the game will do. I am bad for not reading manuals or doing tutorials. I really should read through it too I suppose.

Oy my aching legs! Those squats and lunges and calf squat were killers yesterday. I didn't feel it too much while I was doing it but this morning...OY!

Not sure about what will happen today

I know how you feel. I did a lot of leg work yesterday and I'm still feeling it today.
