Hey does anyone that has a 360 with Kinect play/have any of the fitness games? Right now I'm torn between getting Nike+Kinect Training, EA Sports Active 2.0, UFC: Personal Trainer, and Yourshape Fitness Evolved 2012 so help me choose!

Fitness evolved is good. I can't speak for the others though. Check out metacritic.

meh EAs metacritic score = 68
UFCs is 70
Nikes is 71
Yourshapes is 77

damn you martian now you made it tougher but also i'm not a fatty i just wanna add some mass+muscle

goto gym.

Why don't you just get out and run? :P

Actually, try orienteering. If you're like me, you get bored quickly when out on a run. And that eats away at your motivation and then you stop running..

But orienteering, that's cool! Basically it's cross-country running, but with your brain involved as you have to figure out where to go to and what route to take. It also involves an element of fear, when you get partially lost, and an element of cheating - when you see everyone else running into one spot : it must be the right spot!

It's absolutely brilliant!

i was looking at Jillian Michaels Fitness so i could pretend that she was Lara Croft and chase her around the jungle, but i saw her in an interview and decided that i didn't want her yelling at me.

then you need to wait that jennifer nicole lee stars in fitness game.

if you want to really bulk up, you need to either lift weights or know how to do body weight exercises (like P90X)/trx (which can actually get you to quite a decent level). My understanding is that neither of these can really be done via kinnect which is mostly cardio focused. Having said that, I found that the cardio helped me get more out of my strength training workouts as I didn't get tired as quickly.

What is this P90X?

P90X is hell. I made it to day 14 and literally died, this is me risen...but on a side note.. I have a friend that was very overweight and he did P90X and lost the weight and then did it again. Now he is a skinny guy with some muscle.

P.S...i hated everyone on the videos by day 14 too.

P90X is effective apparently. Me + chinups = losing combination though:P

as an aside, weight loss = 90% diet, exercise on its own doesn't help much unless you do a *lot* of it (like 4-5 hours a day). Otherwise you just make yourself hungrier and you need to replace most of the calorie deficit created by the exercise to be able to keep doing it.. (some research actually shows that moderate exercise actually makes it harder to lose weight). Having said that the benefits to exercise are tremendous for a whole host of other reasons. (immune system boost, sex, life span, energy, bone structure, mental acuity etc etc).

I personally am a very big fan of Yoga.

Yoga or Yoda?

both. :P

EA Sports is fun for a while, but as a long term fitness tool, it doesn't really suffice.

I find Fitness Evolved the best out of the ones you mentioned. It will allow you to slowly build day by day as well. You'll want to make sure you have a decent running mat, or running shoes, but I really enjoy their running exercises especially.

Hope that helps!

WIPEOUT! Okay, it's not a serious fitness game, but it's a hoot. And as an extra added bonus, I would pay you to post videos of your most entertaining wipeouts here for us all to enjoy. :p

is it same as that dumb tv-show? yes it is aired in here all thx to fox.

meh. haven't had any yet, but mine would probably need footage from the hood camera of the idiot that was driving on the shoulder right before they send me and my unicycle flipping over the vehicle. course, if i have a choice, I'd rather go thru the windshield while chanting "Kick Like A Deer. Kick Like A Deer. Kick Like A Deer."
