Motivation for Competitors September 12, 2008

This game is an excellent motivational tool for those couples with a competitive nature. If if you don't win the points for the week or month, you can still win in making excerise a habit and loosing weight. I've lost 7 pounds in the first two weeks of "playing."

One Word: MOTIVATION! August 1, 2008

My husband and I are ultra-competitive when it comes to athletics -- so I was a bit concerned that the game would create more fights than fitness. Instead, it's been so fun and and, because of our competitive streak, definitely motivating. The first week, he wasn't so into it -- but when I won the week (8 to 5), he ramped it up the second week, which is where we are now. On days when normally I would have wanted to just sit in front of the TV after a long day at work, I am motivated to get moving to earn my stars. We're playing the instant-gratification version, so the one with the most points at the end of the week wins a smaller prize. The cards are way fun, and I love that they include things for kids so the whole family can get involved. When we have kids, they're totally going to be playing this with us!
Well thought out exercise program July 2, 2008

I convinced the women in our neighborhood book club to each buy this game to get us to exercise. I had already played it with my husband and loved it. Our book club tried group diets before but to no avail. Seems like we all start out gung ho but each week, more and more drop out. But this game works by having you play against just one other person. So we paired of 2 by 2. It not only brought out our competitive spirit but it became a matter of pride - we didn't want to lose to our partner. We finished our eight weeks and everyone had so much fun with it. Some exercised more than others but we all felt that we were winners because we all exercised at least three times a week for the eight weeks - a far cry from what we used to do.
As for the quality of the game - it is really well thought out. The rules are simple to understand. The game board hangs upright. Most of us put it on our refrigerator (it comes with magnets.) It was fun when we'd go into each other's homes and see how many stars were on their board. The game is reusable. In fact, a lot of us are already planning to play it again for another 8 weeks. You track your exercises by peel and stick stars and they worked well. No one had any problems with any of the game pieces. Even when my kids slammed the refrigerator door, my game stayed in place. Great concept!

Hubby and I are having fun with this,trying to outdo each other for stars! My only complaint is that I wish our kids could do this with us(instead of just 2 at a time). Also, the stars don't stick to the board very well. Mine fall off. I have to keep sticking them back on and remember where they were! Good motivator,though.
