My Weight Loss Coach is a program designed to focus on taking positive steps to maintain a healthy lifestyle and is developed by Ubisoft’s Montreal studio under the guidance of both a fitness coach and a nutritionist.
The game creates customized coaching sessions based on skill level, and, for the first time on DS, includes a pedometer. Other game features include an Input Reward System, where you log your progress on a daily or weekly basis, and a personal profile creator that helps you track your progress.
My Weight Loss Coach features include:
* Personal Profiles: Create your personal profile and evaluate your improvement potential, then set up your objectives following the recommendations based on your personal profile
* Input Reward System: Log your progress on a daily or weekly basis, tracking your physical activity and nutrition habits
* The Pedometer: A peripheral device that comes with the game and can be easily updated through your DS, it’s the best way to control your daily physical effort, challenge yourself and balance your food intake
* Real-Life Landmark Checkpoints: As a reward, all physical activities you achieve and good nutrition habits you acquire are converted into distance. Didn’t you notice you’d already been traveling the distance equivalent to the Great Wall of China?
* Mini-Games:
– 10 coaching sessions, with different themes like alimentation and physical activity, help define your profile and give you strategies
– 300 to 500 fun challenges, depending on your profile and your needs
– Four trivia games, featuring about 300 questions with learning and awareness objectives
