Hello ALL!
I am fairly new to this.. Let me just start by saying I have a loonnng way to go!!
I go to a gym twice a week, but our weather has been awful & dont like traveling in the snow so today I bought a KINECT, I had played the Adventure game that came with it for appx 30 minutes & I had never gotten so sweaty at the gym! Has anyone else tried & been successful with the KINECT fitness & losing weight?
Thanks!!

    I haven't used it myself yet but a friend of mine just bought it and said its amazing. Surely if you're moving and sweating its got to be good?!

    Yep! I do Zumba, Your Shape, & Dance Central. I incorporated them in with my cardio along with the treadmill in January. Lost 16lbs. This month I'm only doing Zumba. I want to see how much I lose doing only that.

    Yes, yes, yes!!! We have the Adventures, Zumba, Your Shape and Dance Central. You can burn lots calories and the games are fun!

    We've had more fun with Adventures but Your Shape has kicked our butt! I've done Zumba in a studio before, so changing it to a game has been interesting... Dance Central seems like it would be fun, but I haven't have time to really play with it...

    No regrets here! We already had the Xbox, so we just bought the sensor and with it came the Adventures. We had to buy the other three separate. Look for sales on these, sometimes you can get a discount if you but 2 or more (like at Best Buy)...

    I just got kinect two weeks ago so I could incorporate something new into my regiment. I like the game that came with it but I also got the biggest loser and it is a workout. I have zumba for the Wii and it gives me quite a workout so I can imagine the one for kinect does too.

    Yes, I did the Adventures game with my son and it is a real workout. You get good cardio because of all the jumping and moving around. It is a way to make working out fun for me since I have not done it in years. My sister has the Wii Fit and she said she is having wonderful results with that game system also.

    I love my Kinect!!!! I have a goal to lose at least 100lbs and I have lost 7lbs in just 10 days using dance central for one hour and a 30 minute circuit training on the biggest loser game. I still cant do all the biggest loser stuff but I definately seat my butt off and have lost inches in my waist too!!!! Great Great product!!!

    Kinect is awesome! I got it for Christmas, along with Dance Central, and I LOVE it!! It's so much fun that I can go an hour without even realizing it.
