X-Box with Kinect

OK, so I just got my X-Box, and am getting a Kinect in about a week. Does anyone have any game recommendations for good exercise? The whole reason I even bothered to get one of these gaming consoles was so that on lazy days, I could still get a decent burn in.

Muchos Gracias in advance!

    I don't, but I'm thinking of getting one for the exact same reason!

    I only have 2 games, the Kinect Adventures that came with it and I purchased Kinect Sports separately. Adventures is a nice warm up to get you used to the gaming system. I have found with Sports, if I set the difficulty level higher it becomes extremely challenging to beat the computer. Granted most of the Sports games are a set time limit so you would have to do repeated matches to get a good workout. I ended up with a few blisters on my feet and some scuff marks on the walls trying to play soccer and volleyball. Make sure you have a decent sized room for it.

    Your Shape: Fitness Evolved got me sweating. It's actually a really good, all around exercise and they even have a Yoga section for before and after the strenuous stuff. Kinect Adventures (which comes with the Kinect) is also great, though not nearly as much of a workout, it is quite fun! :)

    I love Dance Central and on days I don't have time to make it to the gym that is what I do!
