Can I add the time I'm playing with Xbox kinetic as an exercise

    sure, but I would get an HRM to track it accurately. I think plenty of folks actually overestimate calories burned during games. You can burn calories doing anything, but if you can't track it.. what is the point of adding it, ya know?

    If you're working at it, sure. I wouldn't rely on it as your main exercise and I'd only add it I you're doing it for a sustained period and with reasonable intensity.

    As long as it gets your heart pumping, of course!
    I use my Wii quite often for cardio exercise, and use my HRM to figure out the calories.

    Even if i don't use it as cardio, I figure that as long as it gets me up off the couch and moving, and not munching on junk food, then it's a good thing! And it's fun!
