Thank you Ubisoft
I have done 10 sessions, each over 60 mins long and felt it was time to review.I really love this game, there is a lot of variety and as you explore each activity you learn how to put together a workout that is right difficulty. I have lost 2KGs in a month, from 85 to 83KG, mainly thanks to this. I do not see myself tiring of this in the coming months. If you sign up for an online weight tracker like HealthyWeightTracker you can keep the motivation going.It is not perfect, some of the workouts are too tough for me (e.g press ups) and some of the dance routines are near impossible (bollywood). I also find Yoga surprisingly difficult. I really enjoy Jumprope but I think the music is slightly out of time with the game, which makes it difficult for people like myself with natural rhythm, because I tend to skip in time to the music rather than the game. Also, the 'calories burned' info is quite dubious, for example Wallbreaker tends to offer really high calories burned compared to something like 'Boot Camp' which I find much more intense and fatuiging.Some advice. I would advise you to input your age and height etc when starting the game. At first I didnt do this and it was rewarding me with very low calories for each workout. After inputting my age etc it started telling me I was burning about 3x more calories than previously.Despite these minor niggles, which will no doubt be fixed in 2013 version, its great. Microsoft really ought to promote this game more in tv ads and tv shopping as it is much more fun, value for money, and time efficient than going to a gym.

Great fitness game for a rainy day
Would highly recommend. Have had this game for about a year now and i'm still finding new things to do in it. I have a tendency to get extremely bored with workout games/dvds as i crave variety but this has not happened yet and i don't think it's going to happen for a long time!If you want a 'proper' workout you can choose from cardio, sports training or do a dance class, or if you would rather target certain areas there are options for legs, bums, arms, abs, etc. You can choose timed workouts anything between 5 minutes to over 30 minutes and while you are doing these workouts the countdown timer is on the screen which, for me anyway, helps me to keep going until the end. It also allows you about 10-15 seconds between 'moves' to catch your breath or grab a sip of water which is great.Moreover, if you prefer to do a more relaxing workout, there is Zen Energy (Tai Chi) and Yoga which i highly enjoy as the Kinnect scans you to make sure you are in the right position. I always like to end my workouts with either one of these as they can act as a cool down. Or if i've had a stressfull day the breathing always calms me down.There are also fun activities such as skipping and wall punch which doesn't even feel like a workout because you concentrate so much the task.With everything you do it measures the calories you've burned and saves your progress and you can also set goals for yourself.Best money i've ever spent on an exercise game as i'm still getting my money's worth.

Fun workout
I don't have the time to go to the gym. Where I live most of the time is either too cold or to hot to go out jogging. This is the perfect answer to these problems. It needs quite a bit of space and that may be a problem, but it's completely worth it.There are exercises of many kinds, and they are quite a challenge as I am not very sporty, but still when you don't play the game for some time you really want to get back to it.I usually get from this game the so called muscle fever, and that is great because in the next couple of days depending on the exercise you will feel in your muscles all the work you have done.In one week I lost a kilo and I ate much more than usual, and a lot of fatty food. The zen-tai chi exercises and yoga are great to put an ending to each session.If you have a pair of dumbbells they will be very useful, especially if they are low weight like 2-3 kg. You can then proggressively use more weight.The cardio box exercises are really fun and tiresome. At the end of each session you will end up completely sweating your shirt.I never expected this game to work so well and be so useful doing exercise. I have to say I bought kinect mainly for this game,as I realized it was much cheaper buying kinect and this game than going to the gym, and I am doing it much more often than when I used to go to the gym, as I play this at home and I dont lose time going anywhere.Hope this helped. This is a must buy for kinect!

Game could be good
Game could be good but the you shape servers are no longer active so many functions no longer work. The game itself is good.

Actually makes work outs fun
I'm not hugely into working out and decided the Xbox might be the perfect was to get a little more movement into my life.I've not played the previous edition of the game, but I was encouraged by the many positive reviews on Amazon. Have to say I'm really impressed with this. There are so many different work outs for you to try and they can really get your heart going. If you just fancy a general stretch there is a really good yoga section. Having owner a Wii fit I can say this is a lot better. The kinect does an OK job of tracking you and your movements and the instructions are good.Perfect for the new years resolution of getting a little fitter, the game also comes with the option of setting yourself goals which create a personalised plan for you.If you have a Kinect and want something that is not only enjoyable, but will genuinely help with getting more active, then this is the 'game' for you.
