So I'm curious... how many of you play fitness Video Games? If you do, which ones are your favorite and for which console system? I can't wait for the PS4 release, but I'm wondering if they'll be offering a fitness game anytime soon...

    I've only done EA Active and Wii Sports, but I like both.

    I like EA Sports Active 2.0 and Gold's Gym Cardio Boxing for the Wii.

    Wii u Just Dance 2014...though, it would probably be more fun on the PS4 with the eye function. The fun part of the wii u is hoping the strap holds and I dont launch remotes at the TV

    DDR, PS2 is a great one as long as you start on at least standard mode...not sure how easy dance mats are to get anymore though!

    I do. A lot. The only console I have is the Wii so I use that. I've actually found "WiiFit Plus" to be useful. Some of the exercises are low intensity, but not all. Island run is good and I really like Free Step, as they do make me really sweat. Both are from "WiiFit". "Biggest Loser Challenge " is a great fitness game and fairly insense, with an option for it to test you so as to meet your skill level. "Zumba Core" is a lot of fun and I found the tutorial for the steps quite useful. I also like "Gold's Gym Dance" but the tutorial for that one is- less useful so it may not be good for those not used to aerobic type dance or dance in general.

    The Just Dance games are really fun. I play them with my grandsons. Theirs is PS3 (I think). I have some for Wii.

    I have the original Wii Fit games too and I like a lot of the games on there.

    I play hella video games. The ones I reeaaally enjoy require me to shoot at something or someone.

    However, late last year I ventured out and purchased Zumba for the wii. A lot of fun, customizable and you can really burn some calories.

    PS3 has some fitness related games including Sports Champions, UFC Trainer and EASports Active (possibly getting that title wrong). The games are fun but the PS# Move often requires wearing arm/leg bands and/or holding Move controllers. Sometimes, the camera doesn't register your moves - causing you to have to do more (which is up to you if that's a bad thing). I'm with you though, hoping PS4 will offer a worthy rival to Xbox's Kinect for fitness games.

    I am a big fan of the Dance Central series for Kinect.

    Me too. And it works. I see results so fast if I stay consistent playing the game.

    I bought a heart rate monitor, and I burn about 400 calories in 30min of playing on medium and hard level.
