    I didn't know they had Zumba for Xbox but that dance party is great as well as the sports one. However I bought my Zumba dvd's from Zumba.com and it is definitely fun. The husband, kids, and myself be in here having fun doing it. Definitely a great family time thing to do, and I even enjoy it when I do it by myself.

    I was kinda bummed there weren't any reviews on Amazon for the game, but it does look like fun!

    Santa has already stored Kinect in my closet.....They say they have 17 titles for it....my lil guy wants it for Kinectimals......I saw the fitness stuff and said.....maybe that could be fun. Have they figured how to track on here yet?

    The kinect is also currently being stored in my closet :laugh: As far as tracking the fitness stuff on here, I would use my HRM to track my calories burned.

    So far I have Kinect Adventures, Kinectimals, and Kinect Sports.

    I've had no issues with the games at all and found them easy to use and extremely fun! I'm hoping to get the new EA Sports game for Christmas as well!

    I do know after using the Kinect sports for a couple hours just messing around with friends I could barely move my arms the next morning since they were so sore!!! It's a blast and definitely seems to work out my body alot more than the wii did.

    Kinect Adventures came with my sensor, so we will have that right off the bat. I would like to get the Kinect Sports for my son, I think he'd love that one...we both would :)

    I haven't tried the Zumba yet but if you get into the intermediate levels of the RallyBall on Kinect Adventures it's quite challenging and really gets the heart rate going along with the battles against each other where you have to jump continuously to make your sled go faster and dodge obstructions by moving to the left-right, ducking, or jumping over the object. Also we have Dance Central. I'm not very good at it but gets the ol sweat rolling too!

    Thank you! That's good to know :) I am pretty excited to try it out now!

    So I bought this yesterday. I'm still trying to really understand the menus but I will once I get you to messing around with it.

    It had me sweating within the 1st minute. I truly enjoyed doing it. It is now going to become a permanent fixture in my exercise schedule.
