Kinect PlayFit arrives today
Are you ready to get fit? Perhaps for some the question should be are you ready to get “more” fit with Kinect? Kinect PlayFit is a new fitness dashboard that aggregates and tracks the calories you burn as you play a variety of Kinect games, from “Dance Central 2” to “Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012” to “Kinect Star Wars.” And it’s a free download.
“Ultimately, Kinect PlayFit is a motivational tool. We want to motivate people to change their behavior and be more active.” – Chuck Frizelle, executive producer for Kinect PlayFit.
Kinect PlayFit lets you view your personal stats over time and see leaderboards that show how you rank against Xbox LIVE members across the globe. Get credit for the calories you burn while having fun with Kinect, and earn Kinect PlayFit Achievements, Gamerscore and Avatar Awards.

After the Zumba fail, I am always leary of the kinect fitness type games but I am going to try this in hopes that I will find a fitness games that I do like.

Twylyght, try Your Shape Fitness 2012. It has a pretty good variety of workouts. I use it myself. The floor exercises can be a problem depending on how your Kinect sensor is placed. But other than that it’s ok.

Thanks! I will do that! I was so disappointed in Zumba, I looked forward to it because the nearest Zumba class here it about 40 mins away.

this app is cool, also has achivements. Yes I recommend Your shape. Love that game. I lost 30 lbs using it, but sadly I lost my motivation and gained it back. I am now starting to use it again.
