Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012 (Xbox Kinect)

So I recently bought Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012 (Xbox Kinect). Amazon had it on sale for $35. I really like it, the exercises are fun and can get your heart rate going. My biggest issue is this. There is too much time for the machine to load in between exercises that your heart rate drops. I can get a better workout jogging or doing the elliptical for 30 minutes than I can playing this game. I can't seem to find a circuit option either. So you do the exercise and then you have to choose to continue or go back and choose something else.

So the verdict is... It's a nice game, has some good exercises, its fun, it gets you off the couch. But as a serious training tool, I think it's lacking a very simple feature. The ability to set it to automatically do a X minute workout without me having to interact with it.

It's good for a light workout on your off days to just have some fun.
