Kinect Your Shape

Today was my first real day of doing this as I had been doing shred. Must say I'm v impressed, tons of programs to suit toning/ cardio/ sculpting etc & as I bore easily I hope they'll keep me interested long enough to tone up/shift a few pounds.

Anyone else using it/ recommend some of the programs particularly?

Heya Kieragh, we also have your shape and i am loving the cardio boxing, managed to unlock a few of the lessons so far, leaves me out of breath and knowing i have done some exercise, only doing 20 mins of the boxing a day atm but hoping to build on that as i slowly become less tired and able to breath after 5 mins. Havent tried many of the other classes or games, although i did try the hula hoop yesterday and realised how unfit i am even though i do cycle 10 miles a day. Is there any of the games/lessons u have found really enjoyable? I like the idea that some of them are that much fun it doesnt seem like exercise, we also bought Dance Central which has an exercise mode with it but i havent tried that out yet, too busy laughing at myself doing the dancing moves.

I spent most of the session doing the cardio boxing, loved the silver classes as they were faster! Didn't enjoy the zen too much as a cooldown tho. I liked the gym games too as a warm up. I'll try the toning and sculpting sessions next, let me know how u get on and what's working well! Thanks

Love it because of how in-depth it is and I can shut the blinds and no one has to watch me

(hurrah finally a reason to justify my xbox addiction)

I have my shape fitness evolved, dance central, sports and adventures.

the my shape I do the cardio but its more fun to jump about on adventures with the kids

we also have kinectimals and joyride but they aren't too active

I love the idea of the Wii fit but you can cheat on the wee and shake the remote while eating a mars bar, least on kinect you cant get away with it

Lol lol!! I love the picture of someone eating a mars bar shaking the remote, class!! I did some myshape cardio today, got a good sweat up but the fact there is no warm up/ cool down routine bothers me? What do u do for those? Xx

My son's Diversity Dance Fitness Fusion has a warm up Always a good excuse for a lil Ashley Banjo eye candy too
Kids all sick this week so haven't had a chance for workout. Settled for taking the puppy for some extra walks
Back to it once kids return to school and they have passed the bugs to me (oh its going to happen :cry and I'm well again.
