NewU: Inside|Out - First screenshots

Black Bean Games has released the first screenshots of NewU Inside|Out, the new fitness and nutrition product for Wii developed by Lightning Fish with the collaboration of Fitness First and You Are What You Eat.

Fitness First has designed the Full-Body workout and has been strongly involved in the development of the game. Each exercise is demonstrated by one of Fitness First's leading Personal Trainers. The Wii Balance Board and Wii Remote are used to provide feedback on user's progress and performance.

Despite expectations, in order to create the six in-game personal trainers, Lightning Fish have used video footage of the real trainers and avoided 3D graphics. For the target market this feels a lot more approachable and authentic than using computer graphics. In this way, NewU offers a choice of six different personal trainers, each with their own personality and the choice of several workout locations.

The exercises and workouts are only half of the story, You Are What You Eat has provided experienced nutrition experts to create a series of recipes that can be used to complement physical exercises, whether you want to put on muscle or lose some extra weight. The bespoke recipes can even fit any personal dietary needs such as vegetarians, vegans and gluten intolerant diets.

NewU allows people to select a lifestyle goal in order to create their custom exercise plans and their custom nutritional plans.

The first batch of screenshots show the main interface where the user can select the activities, set up their profile and access recipes that complete each personal plan.

NewU has a strong yet extremely clear, simple and sophisticated look. More information about NewU can be found on our gamepage for NewU: Inside Out.
