I hope I'm tracking my Dance Central and Yourself Fitness workout correctly. Does anyone else do XBOX Kinect workouts?

I logged DC as Dance aerobic today, previously I logged as dance general.
I logged the Yourself Fitness a aerobics low-impact.

Thanks:flowerforyou:

    *Yourself Fitness Evolved - the correct name of the game

    I use the YourShape 2012 game, my wife uses YourShape and DanceCentral. We log them as custom activities and just enter the calories the games display.

    Do you mean Your Shape Fitness Evolved?

    I love that one, I have the new 2012 one and it is pretty good, the only thing I wish it had was a stretching section, or a cool down.

    I also love UFC Trainer, it is by far my favorite!

    I play Just Dance 3 all the time- If I log it, I log it as aerobic.

    Yes, I do! I do zumba fitness, dance central and just dance. I have a heart rate monitor and that really gives a more accurate calorie burn..

    I've tried Zumba, but I don't get it. I honestly just play the games, kinect adventures is so fun and you don't realize youre actually working out! I love it

    Yourshape 2012 has a cooldown add on you can purchase and download on the Xbox. Haven't tried it yet myself though. I use yoga or Zen as cooldown workouts.

    i love Your Shape, and log it as aerobics. I do the same thing with the kinect adventure games, though I doubt that's very accurate (certainly the obstacles game burn more the underwater game, etc). I guess an hrm can be useful to get a clearer idea, but for now I just log the time a little less than my actual work out as I find the calories on here to be fairly generous.

    I really like the standard Adventure game that comes with the Kinect. I also like using the Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012.

    Just a WARNING to everyone. I do Zumba on the Wii and was logging the cals it was
    giving me until I got a Polar ft4 HRM and the cals I was actually burning were way
    lower. Just be aware and try and invest in a HRM for true cals burned.....
