Great lens, this is a unique piece of content from Emmaklarkins. Like many fantasy experiences, this fitness experience from fitnesstipsweb.com puts you in the shoes of a newly formed hero trying to rid a magical kingdom of newborn evil. You adventure to varying degrees, fighting dire beasts while earning money and experience to hone your skills. It looks like a typical parlor game.

I remember playing dance center when I was a kid. Try the new online fitness game that uses your video workouts to boost your personal development. Have the community review your videos and generate stars to climb www.fiitizens.com

KathyZ1on October 20, 2013:

Great lens, very informative.

Nebel218on July 5, 2013:

a good way to train the mind from video games.

socialcx1on July 4, 2013:

I can understand why people like these fitness games. It seems they are working.

Pedro Messerschmidtof Port Townsend, WA, EE. UU. on 07/06/2013:

Some very useful information here! I've heard about these fitness games but never tried them... but it sounds like a winner, especially for those of us who really hate going to the gym.

jim moreApril 29, 2013:

Great recommendation. I like EA Sports Active 2 with the heart rate monitor. Very good man.

Drmorkon March 22, 2013:

I am having so much fun with Zumba Fitness! Great lens! Good suggestions.

pilgrim-1on February 21, 2013:

Kinect exercise videos are a great way to get fit with a trainer without the huge expense of a gym membership. Some people will like it, others obviously won't. I think they're great.

laurenrichon January 29, 2013:

This is a great list of Kinect fitness games. You have an excellent selection to choose from and thanks for sharing.

emmaklarkins (author)on January 14, 2013:

@BenJacklin LM: Absolutely! The interest in these games increases every year around this time :)

emmaklarkins (author)on January 14, 2013:

@jonijones: You can't go wrong exercising for pleasure!

Ben Jacklin L.M.on January 14, 2013:

Great lens for anyone looking to drop a few pounds this new year!

ions ionson January 12, 2013:

Fun and exercise sound better to me!

emmaklarkins (author)on December 28, 2012:

@anonymous: The game certainly has mixed reviews. You might prefer Kung Fu High Impact, which offers much better motion tracking.

anonymouson December 20, 2012:

This MMA game sucks. I can't believe it's second place! It's practically not a game, just a guided video. The motion detection is so bad that you have to hit two or three times for the game to recognize that you hit. He doesn't even know if you're throwing a punch or an elbow; only the "something" on the left has moved to the right. For example, if you need to throw a right jab and a left elbow jab, it's better to hit the cunt with both hands and the game will recognize that you got it right. And those repetitive comments from the trainers make the whole experience contrived.

I agree that Fitness Evolved is the best the Kinect has to offer when it comes to fitness.

emmaklarkins (author)on December 17, 2012:

@avigarret: Thanks! It's certainly a great way to get some exercise in without really realizing it :)

avigarreton December 17, 2012:

Excellent recommendations, a very creative and fun way to lose weight.

Vistaazulon December 14, 2012:

Thanks for the great ideas!

cjbmeb14 lmon December 8, 2012:

Some great titles.

emmaklarkins (author)13.11.2012:

@healthyidea: Thanks for the tips, I'll add them to the list!

kiwi girlBy Franklin on Nov 13, 2012:

These are a bit dated now there are Zumba Core and Nike + Kinect workouts they are in my top 5.

anonymouson October 27, 2012:

Ask everyone who uses them, do they really work or are they just kind of fun?

anonymouson October 1, 2012:

Great lens!

Minzmeer26.09.2012:

I don't have Akinect but I love fitness but I love movement games. These titles look like fun.

anonymousam 08.09.2012:

Gentle. I definitely agree that Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2012 is the best. I have a huge stack of Kinect games. Yes, kids love Kinectimals, but I mainly use Kinect for exercise. Of all of them, the one I use the most is Your Shape 2012. With a wide range of workouts available for everything from warm-ups to strength training in specific areas, you can get the results you want. And Ma!!!

emmaklarkins (author)26.08.2012:

@MrMojo01: Glad you like it!

emmaklarkins (author)26.08.2012:

@maxidef: Thanks!

maxdef19.08.2012:

very interesting lens.

Cheers.

MrMojo0113.08.2012:

Nice lens. I have tried a few and have yet to check the others.

emmaklarkins (author)09.08.2012:

@behealthycoupon1: Kinect is great for getting people involved in regular physical activity, something most people just can't get enough of! You can switch to more intense games or even non-Kinect activities at any time. Sometimes all it takes is a little push to "get off the couch" :)

sersaludablecupom1am 07.08.2012:

I'm still not there when I want to get a Kinect. I think it would be more for my family because it's something the mother could do. The only problem is that I think you need to exercise a lot to really make a difference in your health. Movements in most games are quite slow and insufficient.

emmaklarkins (author)on July 21, 2012:

@StewartClan: Yeah, boyfriends/husbands usually want something like that! If you love dancing on Wii, you'll love Dance Central!

Clan Stuarton July 19, 2012:

Well, I'm a Wii fan, but my husband wants to buy an Xbox and you make it look pretty cool. I love all the Wii dance games and I'm sure I would love some of these fitness DVDs. Thanks for a great lens, I really liked it.

benbsimpsonon June 25, 2012:

These are fantastic for losing weight and getting in shape because they free you from having to pay for a gym or trainer to get started.

Wide range of games to choose from. Nice lens.

Rongreenwoodon June 18, 2012:

emmaklarkins (author)on June 7, 2012:

@anonymous: That's a good point. I could add it to the list, but for now everyone who visits this page should know that Dance Central 2 is a great game that gives you a great workout.

anonymouson June 7, 2012:

Dance Central 2 works better than anything else for me. Sure, I feel like a dork half the time, but these hard dances really are a cardio blast.

sonho1983on June 7, 2012:

Great collection, well done!

Sherioz11.04.2012:

I had no idea what it was until I saw the video you have here. I just wander around Squidoo to see what people are up to and I'm glad I found this. I need something like this. Now I have to see how I can get the Kinect, right?

emmaklarkins (author)on February 22, 2012:

@giltotherescue: Well, there are a few reasons why Zumba isn't number 1. For example, the only workouts you can do are Zumba based. So if you are not a fan of Zumba yet, you will not like this game. Plus, it's hard to get the moves "right" unless you already have decent Zumba experience. I think maybe Zumba is getting so much hype because it's not number 1 yet and they want it :)

gil hildebrandfrom New Orleans, LA on February 22, 2012:

Just curious where there was a poll for the games? Given the amount of TV advertising, I would have expected Zumba to be #1.

hossbyon February 17, 2012:

I love Dance Central 2, a fun game and a great workout!

Edutopiaon January 26, 2012:

The founding genre and the easiest selling point for the Kinect. A great way to get the "hardcore" gamer off the couch while also satisfying your gaming addiction haha.

cneely294587on January 25, 2012:

Kinect Sports is a great workout.

CruiseReadyEast Central Florida on January 25, 2012:

I'd like to encourage my husband to play some of these Kinect fitness games.

brada7xon January 14, 2012:

Here are some great Kinect games that will help you get in shape. I'm thinking of picking up one or two for weight loss in the new year. Here are some of the best Kinect games to make that happen too. Thank you!

antonioon January 13, 2012:

Great lens! Positive!

josek47on January 6, 2012:

I've seriously thought about trying Your Shape Evolved... sounds like a fun way to get moving!

jade horseshoeon December 29, 2011:

Very useful lens!

Simon55on December 1, 2011:

@anonymous: You're missing out if you don't already have a Kinect. I used to be very lazy, but now I'm really training.

Belongs_Zazzleon June 10, 2011:

Anything that moves people is a good thing. I hear that Zumba is a lot of fun.

emmaklarkins (author)on June 9, 2011:

@anonymous: you are amazing! You should definitely consider getting a Kinect if you have an Xbox.

anonymouson June 8, 2011:

I don't have a Kinect, but as KM wrote, these games look fun.

spottdrossel999on June 8, 2011:

I haven't tried any of these yet, but they look like fun.
