I'm getting Xbox 360 Kinect for Christmas (I already know :P) and I want some good workout games! Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    Oh hell, ANYTHING done on the Kinect is a workout. lol
    I have EA Sports Active 2 and it's good. I just got Biggest Loser...did it once. Still not sure about that one. I really want to try the dance ones - Zumba and Dance Central. They look fun. :happy:

    The Kinect Adventures game that usually comes with the sensor is not technically a workout game but it WILL give you a workout! LOL. There's a cool obstacle course program with lots of jumping and squatting.

    We have Your Shape Fitness Evolved and I really like it - there are several different options from solo games to a personal trainer program. I hear the new 2012 version of the game is supposed to be even better.

    I've also heard lots of great things about Zumba, Dance Central, and the Jillian Micheals Fitness Adventure game. Haven't had a chance to try those out yet. And if you want to up the intensity with any of the games, you can pick up a set of weights to get more out of the time you spend playing.

    I just switched from wiifit (which I love, but is now too easy for me) to biggest loser on the kinect, and I am wore out!! I really enjoyed it, though and the feedback is much better... It gives you a "fitness test" when you first start to see what level you should start at... I also have fighters uncaged and zumba on the kinect. Zumba is fun, but I'm uncoordinated, so it's harder for me... :-)

    Can't speak too highly of Your Shape 2012.

    But CMmrsfloyd is right, the Kinect Adventures will give you a heck of a workout, too. Rally Ball is fun. If you don't mind looking like a complete fool, you can also put the river rafting one in and then dance while you do it. I love doing that, although I'm not sure I should be jumping around with my spine all gimped like it is. So far so good though, and I can do that one for 20 minutes and hardly notice the time passing. I suspect I look like Baloo the Bear meets Jack Sparrow (physique of Bear+graceless stagger of Sparrow!).
