I've had my kinect for a couple years now but haven't really tried much as far as the workouts go... in fact, the poor thing only gets turned on a few times a year when the nieces come over... Tonight I decided to do the Your Shape Fitness game. I went through and chose about 15 minutes of exercises. I have to say that I am surprised at how much of a workout I got! By the time I was done, I was out of breathe and sweaty. I don't plan to use it a ton, mainly on days that I just don't have time to go to the gym (about 30 minute drive one way) so I can at least get some kind of workout in.

    The tracking tends to get messy when you are working out on the floor which makes it frustrating for me. I tend to put on Just Dance 2014 and pretend I'm not sweaty and half dead after 3 songs

    I don't go by what the game says I did. My living room is tiny so the tracker doesn't always work properly anyway. I just do the moves the best I can. I've been tempted by the Just Dance games but haven't given in to trying one yet.

    I've been thinking of picking one up for our Xbox, they're so cheap now. I'd like the dance one.

    I love Just Dance!

    I also use the Nike Personal trainer game and it is always a great workout but it drives me nuts when the trackinf gets messed up, especially mid plank.
