So, just curious-- anyone ever use video games for their exercise? I just got an Xbox one and JUST DANCE 2014 and set it for 20-30 minutes and holy crap do I sweat a lot and it is FUN! And even better, my 7 year old loves it and can join me.

    I did when I had a wii and when I had a Kinect. Loved it. It's definitely a fun way to get a cardio workout in.

    I have the Xbox one and do P90X on it when I deploy. Also have the Just Dance game as well, but haven't really tried it yet. I like the XBox Fitness, lots of choices there and the kinects keeps score on your effort. However, it's not really that much better than just running a DVD/video and I would not buy an XBox one just for it as I am not really a gamer.

    yeah ive used just dance, and also a game called DDR (dance dance revolution) that has a dance pad with it. I burned a lot of calories on that dance pad.
