I'm finding it hard to know what to log this as.. I spend a good 50/60 mins using the kinect, but have no idea what to log it as.
The sports games, go through track and field, boxing, beach ball, football, and a few more. also use adventures which has lots of full body movements too.
I know this would come under cardio, but I can't really create myown as I dont have a HRM to know exactly how many calories i would be burning, so in general what would you log it as ?

    I was thinking that, maybe as Aerobics General ? There's plenty on for the wii but atleast the wii helps give you some idea of the calories you use, xbox needs a feature like this :indifferent:

    get yourself EA Active for connect, it actually comes with a HRM that is very accurate, I just used it the other night!!
    It has all kinds of training circuits and things as well, and it tracks your calories burned based on your height and weight and gender and your Heart rate.

    We have been using the Wii Active sports with HRM! I know that I am burning more calories than what it says at the end of the workout. Mainly because the HMR doesn't alway respond. You can go to any store nowadays and get a fairly cheap HRM/Calorie burner counter and create a XBOX KINECT excersise thread. That is what I did. Just remember that your body may be burning more than it records. Which is a good thing. I don't mind undercutting how I log, I know my body burned more. Good Luck!
