My son got a new Kinect for Christmas and is having a blast with it. I was in the store looking at Kinect games and ran across the "the Biggest Loser: Ultimate Workout" with that Jillian chick. I have had it for a few days now and everytime I go to unwrap it, I chicken out. She is pretty intimidating to me with her big ab muscles on the cover. Has anyone else tried this out????

    I have EA Sports Active and More Workouts, love them, just got back from picking up Active 2, All for the Wii system. They are great and don't be intimidated if you need to stop you pause the game unlike Jillian herself. LOL

    I am using Your Shape Fitness Evolved and loving it. You don't have to be ultra coordinated and it still kicks your butt.

    I just got a Kinect but only have the kinect adventures game.. the obstacle course is fun & got me sweating. I really want the biggest loser or the EA sports active. I really like the kinect so far it's fun and I enjoy not using a controller.

    Ok peeps here's the skinny on "shape up fitness evolved" kinetic DVD I did the cardio portion with the personal trainer (mine is male lol)...I am sweating bombs, my legs are jello, but I only burned 272 calories in 45 minutes...Zumba DVD's definitely make me burn more, and it's more fun...but I think I can alternate with this...Kinect can be my "easy" days and Zumba can be my hard days...my goal is to work out at least 5 times a week. Also the calories burned on the Kinect is WAY different than my HRM...it said that I only burned 66 calories...I do that breathing:ohwell: What do you guys think?
