Hi Guys/Gals

Wondering if i could get some help, recently picked up a Kinect for the xbox 360 as it is much cheaper than the gym membership i hardly use! I was wondering what fitness games people use and if they are any good? Have thought about getting either EA sports active 2 or Your Shape Fitness Evolved. Any one played these? and if so are they any good?

    I have biggest losers its wonderful. The kinect sports is really good to if you do track or volleybal I always sweat when I play those. I also have dance central you can put that on workout mode and it will tell you how many calories you are burning and its fun. Fighters uncaged is good to its like kickboxing that usually gets my heart rate going. I love these games just cause you can burn calories and not really pay attention to it cause you are having fun.

    I have the Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout and Your Shape. I love the Biggest Loser! I got it because I didn't like Your Shape. I play The Biggest Loser 6 days week. It gives good positive and corrective feedback during the workout. It includes a stretch cool down after every workout, that's something Your Shape doesn't offer. Also with the Biggest Loser you can in corporate resistance bands and a stability ball (not included with the game, but you can use any kind). I really enjoy working out every morning with the Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout.

    I like YourShape fitness a lot! One of my complaints is that you have to unlock the workouts...but at the same time if is a good thing because you learn the workout easier that way so by the time you are doing the entire class you have learned all the steps. When I do the cardio boxing I start with the first 12min class for a warmup, and go through all three levels. By the third 12 minute class, you are really working out. Done back to back you will be definitely feeling it! I have not yet purchased the add ons that you can but I plan to soon.
    The Zen yoga classes are okay...I like them but don't love them. They are a nice stretch though.
    I also like the games that you can play on it. I think once I get the add ons I will like it more, but it is definitely a good start to workout games. I am planning on getting the Biggest Loser one soon as I have heard awesome things about it.
    Oh and if you like dance workouts I absolutely love Zumba for Kinect and Dance Central. Dance Central has a workout mode that will add up calories burned...and it is fun!

    you should get dance central, I log it under General Dance on here...it's actually quite fun. I have Your Shape, and it's great, but the personal trainer kind of sucks. I like the cardio boxing for sure. I haven't tried Fitness Evolved though. Also you can get the Adventure games that make you work up a sweat, and there's a sports one too that's pretty good. I like it better than Wii for sure
