This woman doesn’t let up and just keeps pounding away at you until you submit or give up.

And apparently people like that in a gal [or at least a fitness coach] since her first Wii title has sold over 600k games and she’s following those whopping sales with the release of Fitness Ultimatum 2010 [for Wii] and Pocket Trainer 2010 [for DS].

Fitness Ultimate is a boot camp style workout that utilizes the Wii Remote and Wii Balance Board. They’ve also added a “Exercise with Jillian” feature that allows “players one-on-one time with a 3D avatar of Jillian Michaels that demonstrates pre-made or custom routines”.

Pocket Trainer 2010 has two different modes: “Jillian’s Training” and “My Training”.

Jillian’s Training has pre-made exercises while My Training allows players to customize the work-outs how they want them.

The Wii version will release October 6th and the DS version will hit October 20th.

Serious Sam Gets a Makeover

Its definition is simple – its when you sweat it out while playing the game by shifting controls to other parts of the body other than your fingers. A classic example will be that fun arcade game Dance Dance Revolution. If that won’t make you sweat, I don’t know what will.

Game publisher, Majesco Entertainment announced a few days back, about their partnership with reality fitness trainer, Jillian Michaels of “The Greatest Loser” fame. And guess what, its going to be and exercise-themed title for the Wii.

The release of the title will be targeted for the holidays, just when everybody’s a tad bit overweight from all that holiday eating. Majesco CEO Jesse Sutton forsees a big opportunity for fitness celebrities, especially if they would want to see Wii versions of their exercise videos.
