After seeing several videos about The Fight: Lights Out PS3 Move game online, I bought it. It's a great workout, similar to real boxing I suppose. Anyway, I was just wondering if others had used games (this game?) to get in shape? If so, what kind of success have you had? I think the joining of fun and fitness will be perfect for me.

    I was using Wii boxing and burning a ton of calories. Unfortunately, though, I think my body has adjusted. I'm about to try a Jillian Michaels game. It was supposed to be a combination of workout and role playing with Jillian as the star. Seemed kind of weird but I needed to try something different.

    I just recently brought a wii and LOVE it.. I brought the zumba game, wii fit plus, and also a couple of the just dance game. I use them a couple times a week and all I can say is that I'm addicted, lol but I do see that I workout and enjoy it more with the games then when I go to the gym or use DVDs
