to listen to. Only a few environments and music genres are available at first, but more are unlocked through regular play. The game includes over 500 types of exercises, although some exercises with variable repetitions are counted as separate in this tally. Furthermore, if the player owns an exercise ball, hand weights, an exercise step, or a heart rate monitor, Maya can incorporate these into the program. At certain sections of the routine, Maya will stop to ask how the player is doing; the player's selection of one of three replies will affect whether the program strengthens, weakens, or leaves the current regimen as it is. Development In a 2006 fitness promotional campaign with the popular fast-food chain McDonald's, purchasers of an "Active Meal" (consisting of a salad and bottled water) could receive one of four Yourself!Fitness DVDs, playable in a standard DVD player, which contains a rigid workout regimen also led by Maya. Each disc is dedicated to a certain theme—Yoga, cardio, strength training, or "core" training—and contains workouts that are 15 minutes in length. Reception The Xbox version received "favorable" reviews, while the PlayStation 2 and Wii versions received "average" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. In January 2006, CiN Weekly gave the game a score of 77 out of 100 and said that, "Though a little cheesy, it's a good way to create a customized home workout with menu suggestions and progress chart." Detroit Free Press, however, gave the Xbox version two stars out of four and stated, "It's a shame that the disc, which offers 4,500 recipes and meal plans also printable at the program's Web site, is so inflexible about allowing other workouts into its tracking system, and that what should be the central focus, the workouts themselves, is so lackluster."
