Wii Fit Game Review – Jillian Michaels vs. AmyMac

In this Fit Life, we review the Wii Fit compatible game Jillian Michaels’ Fitness Ultimatum 2009.  I really wanted to see what this game would do for me as far as having fun and being challenged.

We are all looking for great ways to work out cheaper or at home or even in a hurry.  I was ready for Jillian Michaels, best known for her role as hardcore personal trainer on The Biggest Loser, to push me to my limit!
