Nike+ Kinect Training buddies?

I just finished my first week. And i am liking it so far. The works outs seem to be the right intensity for me so i guess we will have to wait and see. Add me if you like My ID is nachos74

Got this for me and my wife this week too. But the calories burned at the end of workouts seem a bit wacky. Did a 35 minute workout, and it said I only burned 102 calories, but when I go for a run with Nike+ for 35 minutes I burn over 400 calories. I was definitely the same level of sweaty after the Kinect workout. My wife did a 28 minute workout and it said she only burned 67 calories, which she could've probably also done walking for 10 minutes.

Pretty discouraging to see such a low number, hopefully they get the calories burned more accurate with updates. And Nike did make up their own arbitrary calorie system in NikeFuel to make you feel better.

Dogeball91..I'm on session 3...done ll session over all (5 minute sessions)

Ok, I hear ya on the calories now. I check my heartbeat at the little rest times and it's usually about 150 bpm so I calculate my cal based on that. It probably assumes athlete heart rate while you're getting athlete fit haha. Probably in a year they'll be the right number of cals.

I started it a couple weeks ago, but since I already do cardio, I'm using it primarily for strength (took me a bit to figure out how to do that through the Quick Start program). I'm using it 2-3 times per week and would welcome friends who are also using it, especially for strength training.

Curious, have you done anymore looking into the calories on it? I ask because I have always thought it seemed a bit low, and today I bought a heartrate monitor, and the app that tracks my heart rate and the kinect were wayyyy different in calories... Kinect said about 110, my monitor said closer to 350 after a 30 min cardio workout...so I was on here trying to see if others were getting the same results

I am on week 1 of my second round. I have really enjoyed Nike+ Kinect Training. My only complaints are that there could be a little more variability of the exercises within each round, although this second round has been interesting, and I don't like the fact that you can workout with other people via Xbox Live but you can't workout with people in the same room as you.

I lost 5 lbs using this as my main exercise regimen during the first 4 weeks (round 1). My program consisted of 3-4 workouts per week. This time around, I am shooting for 5 workouts per week and I am adding other strength training exercises.

In terms of the number of calories burned, Nike+ Kinect Training is very inaccurate. I always wear a heart rate monitor during my exercise and the number of calories I burn is usually between between 350 - 450 for a high intensity 35-45 minute session. If you are like me, the amount of sweat produced when you do the sessions correctly is the big clue that you are probably burning more calories than the low number reported by the game.

Just did my assessment tonight. According to the Kinect I burned 72 calories in the 30 mins assessment. I think that's likely yo be way off. I'm not as bad as I thought I would be, but it did make me realize how much strength and balance I lost in my legs dealing with osteoarthritis. I was barely able to do the one legged squats without falling over.

Just starting the Nike Kinect Training week 1 Tonight. I am doing it 4 times a week with 2 mile runs on the oposite days. Feel free to add me if you would like.

I completed one round of the Nike Kinect Training and I must say that I was really impression with my improvement, although small. I didn't really see any weightloss but i did increase my stamina. When it came time to do round two I quit after a week because the workouts where starting to get very boring and the same.

Honestly I quit sall workouts for about tewo months and I have now decided to restart and man am I sore. If anyone is interested please add me my gamertag is Twitchycloud558

Just got this, and it's pretty cool, going to use it as a supplement to my marathon training.

The calories burned with Nike+ Kinect are not right, nor are they at all consistent.

50 minutes of strength burned about 150-200 calories, which sounds about right, but 30 minutes of cardio burning only 120 calories, and then 5 minutes of dodgeball burning 65 calories is just not at all comparable lol.

I don't count calories, so it doesn't really matter to me, but the calculations are definitely not right

I just log the Nike + training as Calisthenics. When you look at the workouts they're giving you (Planks, lunges, squats, jumping jacks, running in place, etc.) it's the same as any calisthenics program you would be given.

I found that plugging in Calisthenics for the calories burned to be more accurate and closer to what my HRM gives me than what the Xbox is telling me. Hope that helps someone.

Anyone still using this and seeing good progress? I'm considering using this program to supplement running and biking.
