The yoga fut coins routines are hosted by a creepy virtual woman who says enticing things like “let’s do the warrior pose together.” There’s also a slalom skiing mode, where you lean forward to go faster, and lean back and forth to steer.
While leaning around on a plastic box might sound kind of lame, the Balance Board is surprisingly sensitive, requiring more finesse than I initially expected.All of these exercises are wrapped up by a series of charts that map your weight, your body mass index, and leaderboards that tell you what your best performance in each minigame is.
While I’m not sure if it’ll serve as a terrific workout device on its own, it certainly strikes me as a fun way to stay (or get) active on a regular basis, and I’ll probably put in some regular time with it when it’s finally released.
