Best kinect game for fitness JULY 2011

Your Shape is way better than EA Active, was sick of EA Active randomly pausing mid exercise and going into menus that I didnt want it to so |I got shot and got Your Shape.

This. Was has the worse tracking of all of the fitness games. Lost 2 stone using ys:Fe at the start of the year. Looking forward to ys:fe2 next year.
 
Never had an issue with EA active, its a far more intense workout than Your shape. I use a combination of both and seem to be getting good results.

I would recommend if you have carpets a cut off or matt to do the workouts on otherwise you will wreck your carpet.
 
I had issues with EA Active tracking too, never had any problems with other Kinect games in the same setup/environment though.

Just too frustrating to play when it can't track what you're doing.

Yup exactly my problem, only have issues with EA Active. Nothing more annoying than being mid routine lying on the floor for it only pause so you have to stand up and sort it out.

That reminds me, the other day I had the 360 in the background while watching the TV and when I flicked back to the 360 it was on the confirmation page to buy a family gold subscription. Close one! :p
 
Just did my first Your Shape session, absolutely shattered. So I guess it must be working, body movements track with no problems and it's far better than Wii Fit.

These fitness games sound like a good way to burn some calories whilst doing what I love most - playing games and earning cheevos! Just waiting for kinnect to go back to £79.99 and I'll probably bite :)

lol, the incentive for you is gaming achievements?

I try to look better for sex, but each to their own :p

Surely something like this can't be a substitute to going to an actual gym? Still, I suppose it's cheaper in the long run, convenient, and it's better than nothing

Muy motivation to play games always wins over my exercise ambitions!
 
Your shape is the best one there is, also, if your feeling bored just put adventures or sports on to mix it up a little bit. Great titles, and do improve your health as well, weight wise not sure, but stamina and just general lazyness is gone! :D
 
Can't you just get a heart rate monitor or does it do something special?

Anyone got any experience with the Your Shape: Fitness Evolved DLC? Any of it worth getting?
 
Ooooo..... :mad:
Starting to get frustrated now.
Got home last night, had a decent shoulder and arm workout, put the kinect on for some cardio on YS:FE.
The ******* instructor kept telling me i was out of rhythm doing sumo squats!!!! Was i ****, the useless ****, i'll **** him up. I was knackered, but i was totally in time with him and the good-for-nothing ****-wit kept telling me to keep in rhythm. i must have done treble the reps i was supposed. I was yelling all sorts of obscenities at him, lol. ****didn't listen though! :(
God, i was throwing kicks and punches at him, flipping the bird at him. I even mooned him at one stage to vent my frustration. in the end i gave up and beat the snot out of the computer opponent on EA Sports boxing.
Had a total of 2 hours workout.
What ****** me off is that i was totally facing the sensor, all scanned in right, was perfectly in time with the ****** iinstructor to the side of me, well inside the sensor zone.
I have noticed though that they tell you to raise your arms higher or squate deeper yet the lazy ******* instructor doesn't, and i was following his shining example!
Know way am i getting EASA2 if the reports i've read about it losing you on the sensor are true. God it would drive me nuts.

Aaaanyway.....comic rant over.....for now. :)
