Hello I am doing the Just Dance 2 tough workout programs daily for part of my exercise regimen. Does anyone else do Just Dance 2 or any other games for exercise

    Hey there, I like the first Just Dance for workouts, I try to do 1 hr at a time and do the harder songs. I also have Just Dance 2, Im still learning the moves to those ones tho! Definitely a fun way to work out! :smile:

    I switch on and off monthly Zumba, JD2 & Gold Gym's dance work out.... I don't do the gym. For now I want to do my cardio at my own speed. We even got my daughter in on it these days.

    I don't do the dance games but I do use games for my exercise. I have a Kinect for Xbox 360. I play Your Shape: Fitness Evolved and Kinect Sports right now. In about a week my next game comes out which is UFC: Personal Trainer

    I love doing Just Dance 2, especially with friends - you can make it into a competition! But it's still just fun by yourself. When I hear a song that's on the game, on the radio, I start trying to do the moves. It's kind of silly, but it gets those calories burned!

    I have Just Dance 2 for Wii, as well. Right now I'm doing the Zumba Fitness Challenge on MFP 3 days a week. On my off days I usually walk, go the gym, or pop in Just Dance 2 & burn 1000 calories or more with the tough fitness program. :wink: WELCOME

    It's nice to know that others are using games to workout too. I have thought about getting Just Dance, but haven't yet. I got DDR and the pad doesn't keep the right time or something?? I'm on the beat and it's saying that I'm off. So, I mostly do the wii fit. I just got an accessory for the board...I just used it for the first time tonight. I love it! It makes the step 3 inches higher, thus making it 4 inches total. Now, I get more of a workout doing Free Step :)

    I love just dance two!
    Dance is my favorite way to exercise(:
    just make sure you add up the number of minutes that you are actually dancing, because on just dance two there is a ton of rest time between songs.

    I have EA Active and Just Dance 2. Love them both! I love that EA active mixes up the workouts, helps you set goals, and tells you how many calories you burn. Have you tried Rasputin on Just Dance 2?? I break a major sweat on that one!

    I have never done just dance. Did zumba once and didn't care for it. But as far as games go I now workout to UFC PERSONAL TRAINER on Kinect xbox and LOVE IT! my husband AND my teenage daughter have joined me! it's a fun workout that doesn't feel like you're doing a workout until it's over and you are drenched in sweat with your heart racing! It has a multiplayer workout that we love. It keeps track of you data and even takes before and after snapshots. Anyway, if you like to virtually punch and knee people.... then you would enjoy it !

    I started dieting in June. The only exercise/workout I have been doing is just dance 4 and just dance 3. I've lost 24 pounds.
    With just dance 4 it gives a pretty good estimate for calories burned.
    If you're doing sweat points a lot of websites say that you divide by 4.2 to get calories. But that's totally incorrect. I divide by 4.2 and then take a 3rd of what it says and then take an extra 10-20 calories off of that... So if i have 3000 sweat points I divide it by 4.2 and get 714, take a 3rd of that, which is 237, and then take about 10 or more of of that depending on the workout and get around 227.
    It's pretty fun.
