I just got a Kinect and was wondering if the exercise games were worth the money and do they require lots of extra's like the wii exercise games?

    I just got mine a month ago and bought zumba and your shape fitness evolved and that is all you need! Personally didn't like the zumba. I can't dance I found out! I am liking the fitness one but have only had that one a week so will let ya know later on. Good luck with it. Have fun.

    I have the biggest loser, and if you can overlook the "bugs" then you will enjoy it. I do it every other day, and it gives me a great workout. You don't need any extra equipment, but it does give you the option to put in equipment you have and then it will generate a routine using those. I have the stability ball which I incorporated into my routines.

    one thing I hate.....is the fact that you are working out to elevator music.....you would think they would of put something better. All in all, it's great. I can't wait for the next one to come out (hoping that all the kinks will be worked out).

    I do the Biggest Loser on the Kinect. LOVE IT... there are recipes,you can chose how many days and how long you want to workout. There is so much you can do with it.

    I love the Biggest Loser and Dance Central.. if you have kids we have the Sports one as well and I burn a ton playing with my son. There's track and field, volleyball, soccer, etc. and nothing better than competition with the kids!

    i also just recently got Kinect for christmas.
    I have adventures, your shape, sports, and dance central
    every single one will work up a sweat
    I think its important to have variety or you will get bored
    and i also think its very important to give each one a chance
    at first i thought dance central was going to be difficult but i am competitive a little so kept at it
    after 2 weeks of trying some songs 3 and 4 times each i noticed my scores getting better which meant i was improving
    but most importantly, i noticed i was no longer trying it for 15-20 mins... i was actually dancing for 90mins and laughing my butt off
    i'm in my 30's so to hear songs like push it bust a move and rump shaker cracked me up! lol
    i havent' really had to buy anything to go along with my kinect except tighter clothes :):):) since doing kinect i have lost almost 10lbs from having fun.
    I really hope you enjoy your kinect as much as i love mine!

    Dance Central is awesome :) I use the calories burned that are shown in the workout mode, but I think it's low. Kinect Sports is also great. It has alot of different games on it. The boxing left me sore after. I just got Zumba in yesterday, but I haven't tried it yet.
