Hey guys,

I have several Xbox 360 Kinect games that I play regularly, Kinect Adventures, Kinect Sports. I also have Dance Central (all), Zumba Fitness Rush and U-Play Your Shape. Why is all of the Wii stuff in the Exercise database and nothing for Kinect? What do you log Kinect Adventures as when you're jumping and side stepping for 2 hours entertaining the kids as?

Just curious.

Namaste,
Nika

    Hi Shop,

    Search on "Zumba" and you will find it. It's not linked to Wii, Kinect, etc., since the console doesn't really matter. It's Zumba whatever console people use.

    There are several choices under "Dance," but none say Wii, Kinect, etc. Again, I don't think it matters what console you use.

    So my guess is that the Wii games are there because they are different enough to warrant their own mention, e.g., Wii baseball is not like regular baseball, Wii bowling is not like regular bowling, and Wii boxing is not like regular boxing, but Dance Central is just like dancing so it doesn't need a listing by console.

    Hey Scott,

    Thanks. I was wondering about that. I play a lot of Xbox and the Kinect has it's own line of "sports" as well. I play those and they aren't like playing "baseball" "soccer" or track and field or volleyball. I mean the movements are all the same but I was really more concerned with how to log it under my exercise journal lol.

    I'm no good at guessing my caloric burn.

    Namaste,
    Nika
