Well, my wife picked up this program for the xbox (not a game), and she likes it a lot. It's a virtual trainer (mostly aerobics and Yoga). I figured that I'd post this in case any of ya'll had questions about it that I could answer.
that doesn't sound that bad. I go to yoga, so I'm good to go, but an aerobics game isn't a bad idea. I must have my sexy abs!

Does it have anything about Weight training ?
can you use it to record your weight training program ?

Can you earn sexy outfits for the girl, like a thong?

yeah, actually - I know that was a joke, but my girlfriend will get bored with it if she can't at least change workout outfits for the trainer.

Nope, but it does ask you if you already have hand weights for use in aerobics. It can incorporate handweights, yoga ball, a step, and a heart monitor into your workouts.
I don't think so.

I don't think that you can't change outfits, but you can unlock different workout locations. You start out with 3 locations, and you can unlock more by keeping up with your workout schedule.

it's more like a customizable workout tape that changes each time you play it.

Trigger, it's at the EBGames site.
Like goLUCKY said, it's more of a really extensive workout tape.
Nothing really interactive about it, but it does show you a lot of things. They've spent MILLIONS on developing this, and it's not really target towards gamers. You should be able to find it at Nordstrom's this Christmas : P
Or was it Macy's? I'm pretty sure Nordstrom's.

my gf has worked at both Macys and Nordstroms and she does pilates and yoga and all that crap. I mentioned it to her and she seemed somewhat interested. I may pick it up for her. She bought a dance mat for DDR and used to work out with that. This may be better.
Oh hey - can you use your own music from your personal xbox library? That may be key.

Not etirely true, usually before you start working out and after a workout set, F!Y will ask you how your feeling. By using this information it may change the next set.

This sounds like one of those offshoot games that will be worth a ton of money down the road on ebay.
