Console games which get you fit?

I picked up a second move controller and 'The Fight' on PS3 at the weekend. Not a bad game but after a couple of days of playing I feel like I have been to the gym... My arms, shoulders, chest and stomach all feel like they have had a proper workout which is great!

My GF has bought 'Dance Star Party' at the weekend too and she is definitely feeling the benefit.

What other games are there out there to help keep in shape?

Don't have a Wii anymore... just a PS3 with Move.

Zumba on the ps3 then, or ea sports which is ok.

Turn the games off and have more sex. Epic fitness regime.

I'm interested in this too, I've got all the consoles now (xbox arrived today) + Kinect, Move and Wii Fit.

What's the best game to get so the Mrs and I can slim down for our wedding photos? lol

No sex before marriage.

I have arthritis so there are a lot of machines I can't move because I can't move my left arm properly, so I'm not up for joining a gym.

If you can't move your arms then cycle, it's a great exercise to burn fat and increase cardio.

or you could just walk on the treadmill, something i do as ive got a dodgy ankle & knee

but you could also look at the UFC trainer, ive not played it but it apparently gives a full body workout which might be problematic with your left arm. not sure if you can tailor the workout at all

lmao... Games consoles are for playing games. you want to get fit, down the controller and go outside and have a walk or go to a gym, or as said - have more sex.. much more fun lol

Never understood this use a games console to get fit rubbish. Nintendo have a lot to answer for..!!

I lost 30lbs earlier this year with dieting and:

Yourshape Fitness: Evolved
Dance Central
Kinect Adventures

and most importantly: EA Sports Active 2 and the 12 week program on medium. That'll sort you out.

Zumba is epic on the 360 with kinect, not sure about move...

Seriously hurting after using that for an hour!
