Look and feel your best for the summer months ahead with two EyeToy: Kinetic titles – the original interactive fitness experience.

It's finally time to shed the winter coats and open your arms to the glorious sunshine, so shake off the winter cobwebs and get in shape this summer with EyeToy: Kinetic Total Fitness and EyeToy: Kinetic Total Combat on PlayStation 2.

Using the EyeToy USB Camera (for PlayStation 2) to detect the user's movement, these titles turn your PS2 into an interactive personal trainer, providing individually tailored workout programmes, personalised feedback and fun exercise games for all the family.

Whether you want to tone up for the beach or get ready for a summer of sport, the EyeToy Kinetic titles offer an enjoyable workout in the comfort of your own home, and without the need for a gym membership.

EyeToy: Kinetic Total Fitness

Let personal trainers Matt and Anna create your individual 12-week workout routine across four fitness zones - cardio, combat, mind & body and toning. They appear on-screen to guide you through the 16 different exercise routines and offer feedback and encouragement based on your performance.

The Cardio Zone provides routines to increase your heart rate and improve aerobic fitness; Toning targets a specific muscle group, improving strength and flexibility; Mind & Body features low impact movements from Tai Chi, Yoga and Pilates; and the Combat Zone uses postures and techniques from Karate and Taekwondo to develop balance and agility.

You can also construct your own programme using your favourite routines, set to your choice of music. So whether you want to warm up gently before going for a run or devise a schedule for increasing flexibility, you'll find everything you need here.

EyeToy: Kinetic Total Combat

Martial arts instructor Leon joins Matt and Anna to help you fight your way to fitness, using Hung Gar - a variant of Kung Fu originating from 18th century southern China.

This title uses state-of-the-art Motion Matching technology to compare the user's movements to those of martial arts experts as they embark on a tailor-made 16-week exercise regime across four workout zones - Dragon, Tiger, Mantis and Phoenix.

Dragon Zone introduces the basics of Hung Gar; Tiger Zone develops strength and endurance through kicking and punching exercises; Mantis Zone improves agility and stamina; and Phoenix Zone brings everything together, focusing on accuracy and fluidity of movement.

Within each zone is a tutorial, a sparring session against an on-screen opponent, a boss fight and a series of breathing exercises, ensuring routines are varied and enjoyable. You can even assemble your own regime using Freestyle mode, or compete against friends and family in the fun Co-operative Tag Team mode.

If you want to improve your fitness this summer, these EyeToy: Kinetic titles offer convenient personalised workouts in a relaxed atmosphere. They're perfect for the whole family, and a lot of fun.
