    I love my Kinect, all the games on it are bound to have you jumping around and burning those calories!
    I got Zumba yesterday for it and it's a lot more sensistive then the Wii version I tried, gets you working a bit harder =]
    I love it.
  • oh thats good to know just going to get the hubby to buy it now lol thanks

    bump as I don't know whether to buy the wii version or the xbox version and I'm interested in the replies :)
  • I have Zumba on the Wii and on Xbox Kinect and I can say, hands down, Kinect is better. It watches your entire body and you have to do the moves and keep up, where as with the Wii I can just move my one hand around and it doesn't really encourage me to keep up. After having taken actual Zumba classes, it took me a minute to get used to the Kinect but now I can't get enough of it. You can set up a work up calendar and pick what routine you want to do. I love it!

    It's not just Zumba though, every single games gets you up and moving. I have played for four hours without realizing it. It's a blast and probably the best investment I have ever made.

    I play Dance Central on Kinect. Not got Zumba yet but I may have to after reading these positive comments. :):)
  • Just be careful in a smaller room, I have over zealously walked in to the living room wall.... :)
