Kinect Fitness Games

Top Kinect Games Fitness

Check out some of the top Kinect Games for fitness, you will never need to go to the gym as some of these fitness routines will put you back into shape in no time. Coming up late in the year, Kinect Sports 2, Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012 and in December 2011 we have Get Fit with Mel B to look forward to, this is a fitness and nutrition package all in one a really does look very good.



The kinect fitness games so far is”Kinect Sports”, this game has many different sports games for you to play. Sports like soccer, beach volleyball, bowling, table tennis, track and field, and boxing. But not only kinect sports can give you a workout and there are several other kinect games that get your heart pumping.

“Your Shape and Fitness Evolved” is another kinect fitness game that will improve your fitness level. You get a personal trainer and find out which fitness level you are at, the game asks a few questions and you get put at a certain level, then you get to choose which class you would like to take for the day. Classes like Yoga, Martial Arts, or Tai Chi. You can play with one player or with up to 4 players, this game will challenge everyone and it really is so much fun.

This game is a great workout and it tells you when you are doing something wrong and gives you good tips and words of encouragement. There are different programs for different goals such as toning, weight loss, after baby workouts, they have really thought of everything and I highly recommend this game if you are looking for a top kinect fitness game.

“Zumba Fitness” has had mixed reviews, there are 30 fitness routines to choose from with nine different dance styles: Reggaeton, Merengue, Salsa, Cumbia, Hip-Hop, Mambo, Rumba, Flamenco and Calypso. This game is fitness with fun, but the kinect controller seems to have trouble tracking some of the moves, it’s about finding the correct position so the kinect controller can track your movements.

“EA Active Sports” is another kinect exercise game but you get to build muscle with exercises like squats, lunges and bicep curls, and also included in your routine is a large range of fun fitness activities from mountain biking and dodge ball to boxing. Step aerobics and boxing is a lot of fun. Intensity is not a problem with this game. I completed medium intensity workouts and my heart rate stayed at about 70-80% of my maximum.There is lots of statistics, if you like that sort of thing.

But the number one kinect exercise game is “Kinect Sports”, it’s so much fun for everyone. The game is meant to be a family or friends game because as you play in single player mode from boxing to table tennis it almost feels like you are running in circles, while it's fun to see who gets the higher score when you compete against a family member or friend when you compete against the A.I. of the game it just feels like you're seeing if you can get past this point of the level of difficulty. This really is a must in your kinect library.
