The problem is you have to use the program quite a bit before the longer sets become available. Early on, the offerings are too easy unless you haven't been exercising recently in any capacity.

After unlocking everything, I found that the best MS exercises were the jackknife competition (100 reps for 100%), the push up competition (100 reps for 100%) and the plank competition. 20 rep sets (20 @ leg) for lunges are also good. If you can do multiple sets of all of these, you should be moving on to a tougher exercise regimen involving free weights that will allow you to get more MS training accomplished in less time.

Doing those same exercises does get stale after a few weeks though.

I did the running in place for weeks as well. Half hour sessions started to strain the metatarsals so I had to do it with running shoes. But try doing that for a few weeks watching your Mii run around the SAME island course and you'll be screaming to start running around outside for a change of scenery. I ended up watching TV shows while the remote monitored my progress. Basically, a poor man's treadmill that does little to improve your actual run times (no stride or elevation changes involved). It just burns calories.
