    I played Shape last year a lot and it worked wonders! Not to mention it was fun! Unfortunately, my xbox broke so I can't play anymore :(

    I use it! I use it with the same fitness games although my zumba is the original not the rush. I do want to get th Rush and the Core versions though since I love the original so much! It's definitely fun and lets you do your thing without feeling 'watched'.

    There are so many fitness games it is absolutely crazy! I also play a lot of kinect games that are more interative than you'd think, like rise of nightmares. You have to run, slash, kick, grab , punch... pretty much everything in that game while fending yourself against zombies.

    I have your shape (which I have done 3/4 weeks of the weightloss progam in) and nike (which I haven't yet touched) and between it and MFP/Fitbit, I have lost just shy of 8lbs this month. I love them!

    I have YS12 and Zumba for Wii which I don't think tracks it as well as the kinect.
    Edit to correct 12 NOT 13 version of Your Shape Fitness.

    I use the Nike fitness training - it came with the kid's Xbox. They call him "Mommy's mean trainer". LOL! I like it. It is a good workout. I have only just recently been able to finish a session.

    I used the nike+ quite a bit during the winter but now that it is warm out I use it on rainy days I cannot run.

    I use my shape fitness evolved, just not the newest one as the older one was cheaper. I use it sporadically as I would rather run but will use it occasionally when I'm not running or lifting.

    :laugh: I love finding other girls that play FPS games. I suck at them, but love them still. I just bought my Xbox around the time COD: BO2 was fairly new, and it's the only game I own so far. I borrow my bf's games when I want to play something else. lol

    I work out my thumbs playing Halo with my hubby. (: Haha!

    But seriously, I didn't even know that the 360 had these games available. All I ever hear about is WiiFit, and we don't have that either (no money right now to be spending on new video games.) I think "Xbox 360" and I think of Fable, Halo, Soul Calibur, not exercising.

    Is there a major difference though between playing a "work out" video game and just doing a work out DVD? I just do the 30 Day Shred, but my husband and I love video games.

    I'm gonna have to check this game out!! Sounds fun!

    I use my XBOX for FPS and for fitness. I am currently in the process of moving and it is packed but I use MSF and love it. I really want to get the new NIKE one.

    I luv using my X-box(well the kids) too work out. I have the 360 with Kinect & have the original Zumba which I use as part of my workout regime. I do use the Wii as well:)

    Even though I like AC, and all the Tom Clancy's, I always end up on my all time favorite as well: Rsix... been playing since Black Arrow!
    OUH! Feel like playing now!
