Alright! Glad you found us. Now, since so far it's just you and me (and maybe a small handful of other Your Shape:FE users), let's start off by talking about what we like and/or don't like about the game. What are your favorite workouts and routines? How often do you play? Have you tried any of the downloadable content, and if so, would you recommend it to others?
Myself, I bought the original YS:FE when it was introduced with the Kinect. I loved it, and played it religiously for about 3 days, then barely touched it again. This past Christmas, I picked up YS:FE 2012 and played it twice...until today. Since I've recently recommitted myself to my weight loss and fitness goals, I've been looking for fun ways to get and stay healthy. I find that too much of a routine bores me, and I eventually lose interest. With YS:FE, I can workout for 30 minutes to an hour with a variety of activities and even classes, and it held my interest. I would like to start using it 2-3 days a week from this point forward.
So far, my favorite workouts are the World Run, Boot Camp, and most of the games. I'll update this list as I try out more of the activities available.
Let's hear it from you!

I love that it GOT ME MOVING! Last year when I first started my weigh loss "journey" I bought the game.....then didn't touch it for about two months O:-). Then I started playing it one day because I got sick of looking in the mirror, and I didn't stop. I played for about a month and a half/two months (then I bought the almighty Turbofire!), lost a decent amount of weight, saw stamina and strength improve. I stuck mostly to the cardio boxing, and tried other things on the game depending on the mood of the day. It was amazing. I got the new one for Christmas, and as I was still acclimating to a new work schedule (full time at that) and trying to get back into working out, I've only just started playing around with it again. I absolutely love it. It presents a challenge getting the moves right on a lot of the activities, and it's fun getting there. I still haven't found anything I dislike about it, any problems or anything. I just love getting the burn from it!

Hi there guys,
I'm from New Zealand and I brought the game last year. I haven't seen world run or boot camp or anything like that. I haven't used the game for a while but have just got back on track recently. I lost 25kg using mostly cardio boxing and running (outside) but over christmas I fell off the wagon and gained back 15kg.
Just reading the back of the game, looks like it's a 2010 version :frown:
Anyway glad to know I'm not the only one that likes this type if thing 0 -
Pinky, I've got both the 2010 version and the 2012. They're both great games, just a few new features added to the 2012. Keep at it and you'll shake that extra 15k in no time!0

I'm going to try the cardio boxing routine today. I've been doing the regular cardio for about 3 months but I'm getting alittle bored with it and it's still way hard for me after the easy level.. wish me luck! and good luck to everyone with the game and your other goals 0

Good luck to you, too, DC. I enjoy the cardio boxing routine. I think you'll like it!0
