Anyone "workout" with their kinect?

Now that I am hanging up the pump I figure I better get my butt in gear working out or all of my milk weight loss will come back.  I figure the kinect is a good place to start since it is cold out and about the only time I have that I can work out is after dd goes to bed so I am limited to a video or kinect.. and kinect sounds more fun.  We have the sports games which are fun but I want something more workout like.. do you have one that you particularly like?  I'm looking at Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout, Your Shape Fitness Evolved and EA Sports Active, but am open to others.

Re: Anyone "workout" with their kinect?

  • I am planning on doing the same as a form of exercise, but I am not too familiar with video exercise games. I do have been hearing about "zumba" dont know if this is the title or what from acquaintances. From what I hear it is a fun little work out.

  • My 2 thoughts: I didn't like it because the technology jut wasn't great at picking up my movements. I love Zumba and it was just frustrating to me. Secondly, it might depends on your fitness level. When I was very fit, the Zumba game couldn't get me to break a sweat. Great casual exercise but nothing terribly high impact. Thirdly, my Xbox was in the basement so I was doing it on essentially the concrete slab. Duh, terrible idea and big ouchie for the knees!
    If you're looking for a good DVD series, I recommend Yoga Booty Ballet. Hard as heck and fun IMO.

  • I actually have the Zumba one. I enjoy Zumba in a class setting and found the game kind of flat after going to such dynamic instructors in real life :. I may have to do videos instead.
