I have The Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout (BLUW) and Your Shape Fitness Evolved (YSFE). I'm a huge fan of the BLUW! I'll be honest, I haven't played it in four months because it's been so nice outside, but now that the snow's falling I'd better dust it off start up again! I also like Kinect Sports, especially boxing, for quick workouts that don't feel like workouts. I've been thinking about getting a dancing or zumba game. Any thoughts or recommendations?

    I have BLUW, Sports, Adventures, Fighters Uncaged. My favorite is probably Sports but I use Sports & BLUW the most. I like table tennis, soccer, volleyball & boxing in Sports plus the Target Practice. For intensity out of this lot I reckon it'd go something like Fighters, Adventures/Reflex Ridge, Sports/Target Practice - they all really get the heart thumping LOL.

    Can't say I'm overly impressed with the Demo for the New Sports 2.

    I reckon Fighters is unreal but you have to watch it not to do yourself some damage LOL.

    Not sure on the dancing - I've only tried the demo for Dance central and felt like a bit of twit :O

    We have EA Active For Wii and Wii Fit.. thats it. The only time I feel like I am getting a good workout with Wii Fit is hula hooping... I have to figure out actual calories burned for EA Active. I want to get some new ones soon.. I wonder how our downstairs neighbor would feel about that! haha

    Your Fitness evolved 2012 (X Box Kinect) is a great 'game'. Game? It's serious stuff for 75% of the time but has some fun stuff too. It's the best personal trainer and dance teacher I have ever had. It soon tells me if my squats are not low enough, or my arms are not straight enough!!!

    With it's warm up. workout, dance routines and games it scores a 10 out of 10 with me. The 'game' tracks your progress and calories after each task/workout and totally.

    I have set a goal over 4 weeks and I have achieved 35% of my goal, so i know I need to put a little more time in each week to meet that goal. With this game and this website, i have it sorted!!

    I have Wii Fit and YourShape: Fitness Evolved (not 2012 yet) for Kinect. I really like Fitness Evolved, and will probably get the new one when I have the cash.

    My favorite is Dance Central 2. I always get my heart rate up and dance until I'm way out of breath but its so fun I want to keep playing even though I'm really exhausted.

    Currently, my favorite workout game is Your Shape Fitness Evolved. I love the variety and the game offers an excellent burn.

    So far Kinect Adventures is my favorite with Sports 2 close behind. The skiing in Sports 2 is really fun- there's a free mode where you ski down a mountain and have to jump/duck and side step obastacles- I like it better than Reflex Ridge on the Adventures because I don't have to jump for it to go faster- just crouch. Tennis is super fun too. Darts is too twitchy but golf is relaxing. Wish they had hangliding. Maybe for Sports 3- Xtreme? lol

    We tried YSFE 2012 and Hubbs liked it but I found it freaky (the drill sergeant - I hated that. Quit the game over it.) and twitchy. So he will get that one for his birthday.

    Folks who liked the Biggest Loser one- I've never seen the show and never done one of their workouts. Do they yell at you? Are there a lot of floor exercises (difficult for me because Kinect can't track my cane)? Is it fun like Adventures and Sports?

    My favorite is Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2012. I have the original one too, but 2012 improved on it in so many ways. I really like the variety and the control. I've also been having a blast with the African Dance class. I've heard a lot of good things about the Biggest Loser game. I'm toying with picking that one up once I have the extra money.

    I love and adore Wii Fit and Wii Sports. I know you can play Sports sitting down but I always get up and move--especially Bowling and Tennis. :D

    We had Yourself Fitness for original Xbox and it was pretty cool at the time, but Wii Fit really does it for me.

    I have wii fit, wii sports and sports resort, zumba, just dance 1,2 and 3, kinect adventures, kinect sports, EA sports active 1 and 2, biggest loser challenge.

    EA sports active is good, but sports active 2 is even better as it has a heart rate monitor. Not sure if it's an accurate one but it's a good guide.

    I like biggest loser challenge which is ok, but sports active 2 is the best one so far for me. None of the others feel like a workout.

    I have Kinect Sports, Dance Central 2 and Jillian Michaels Fitness Adventure. I do NOT recommend Jillian Michaels if you have weak joints or anything like that. My knees are bad and the game really put a strain on them.

    I enjoy Kinect Sports. I do the track events for a good fun workout, and Dance Central 2 gets my heart rate going (and I love their fitness option that tracks everything).

    I am thinking about getting the BLUW soon!

    So far Kinect Adventures is my favorite..................

    I agree, Kinect Adventures blows away any other Kinect exercise game.
