in Fitness and Exercise
I'm quite literally in love with my Kinect right now.
Dance Central specifically.

I was wondering if there are any other lovers of the Kinect games as a form of exercise? I've found that they're really helpful because you're jogging on the spot, jumping around etc.

    I love my Kinect. When I am not in the mood to exercise but know I need to do something I just throw on one of my games and burn some calories while having fun. I love Dance Central and Fighters Uncaged. Your shape fitness evolved can really kick your butt. I haven't tried the Zumba game yet but I want too and I alos want to try the new UFC personal trainer :-)

    I love my Kinect! I'm amazed at how much of a sweat I break while playing the games. Lol

    I have the Your Shape Fitness, Zumba, and Dance Central. I am considering the MMA and Biggest Loser but I've read lots of mixed reviews about them. What are you guys take on them? I tend to get bored with the gym so the Kinect is a great alternative and a quick morning workout without the commute. Happy Kinecting!!! :wink:

    Ahh I have the fighters uncaged one but it's my boyfriend's so I've not actually played it yet.
    Might have a go later lol.

    I'm quite tempted by the zumba one, I figured that seeing as I love Dance Central maybe I'd like that too. It's being able to scrpae together my pennies for it though.

    Fighter's uncaged is pretty much what you would think from the name, a fighting game. You fight with different computer players by punching and kicking. It registers what type of punch you are doing as it takes different ones when you are different distances from the person to beat them. It definitely makes me sweat because you are boxing non-stop. I just got a HRM so I'm curious to find out how many calories I actually burn playing it.

    I do the workout game on there (I can't remember the name for the life of me - active something or other). The dance game was fun on demo mode, but I've got DDR on wii and gamecube (ha!) and so I figure I can use those for dancing type things. But I love playing the demo :)

    The Biggest Loser is not a bad game, the only thing i hate about it is that sometimes it can be a little buggy at time and won't register your reps. I play it everyday and it beats going to a gym. I still have UFC and Dance central wrapped up.

    If you really want a workout with the Kinect, I highly suggest Zumba and the UFC Personal Trainer. :)
