My Health Coach: Manage Your Weight is totally adapted to the needs of our modern lifestyles. Instead of putting you under pressure and setting you distant objectives, it is a fun, short and rewarding method to help you and guide you, step by step, to a healthier more balanced lifestyle. After just 10 to 15 minutes playing each day, the coaching sessions, daily challenges, mini-games and quizzes will leave you feeling the difference.
If you take healthy steps, how far would you go?
For the first time on Nintendo DS, My Health Coach: Manage Your Weight includes an exclusive device: a pedometer. Record your daily activity as you would with any normal pedometer, then simply slot it into the DS and transfer your efforts into your personalized health program!
An added fun incentive is that all your efforts and achievements are translated into distance. Eat better, exercise a bit and keep a track of your daily walking distance with the pedometer... and you will soon have traveled the distance equivalent to the Great Wall of China!
Apart from the physical challenges and daily sessions, My Health Coach: Weight Management also features trivia games, hints and tips so that you can learn everything you need to know about proper nutrition and working out.
How does it work?
1. Personalise it
Create your personal profile and evaluate your improvement potential. Then set up your objectives following the recommendations based on your profile. For each profile, the BMI (Body Mass Index) is automatically calculated. The BMI measures your height/weight ratio. It is your weight in kilograms divided by the square of your height in meters (so, if you weigh 65 kilograms and are 1.73 metres tall, you would have a BMI of 65 / (1.73 x 1.73) = 21.7 ). The program will then suggest personalized strategies in correlation with you BMI.
2. Get your daily objectives
Lose weight? Eat better? Exercise more? Choose your way to get a healthier lifestyle depending on your own needs and objectives.
The game includes 10 coaching sessions to help you define your profile and set your new objectives. 10 to 15 minutes every day are sufficient to achieve your objectives.
3. Challenge yourself
Between 300 and 500 fun Challenges depending on your profile and your needs: "Don't use any elevators or escalators for an entire day", "Sit in the lotus position for 15 minutes", "Have two bowls of vegetable soup"...
Accept daily challenges, play games, takes quizzes and track your daily activity with the pedometer.
4. Track your progress
You can constantly measure your achievements (on a weekly basis or overall) through the progression tracking system.
