I'm doing a lot of my excercising by playing with the Xbox 360 on their new Kinect gadget, and it's fantastic! I bought it from work on Friday (I work in a games store, hehe, discooount!) and for two nights, me and my friends had FIVE HOUR DANCE OFFS. Literally, one would get up and do a dance track, then another would, then the third, then back to person one. The dancing gets really intense on the harder difficulties, and by 9/10pm we were drenched in sweat and couldn't get up for another go, haha.

I also bought EA active 2 (the one on tv, where David Beckham is advertising it) and I'm starting that today. Kinect is amazing!!

I love my Kinect. I haven't had a chance to try any of the dance games or anything, but so far Kinect Sports is fun and Kinectimals is great! Kinectimals actually has a lot more physical activity than I thought it would. They had me do a "star jump"! I wish I could play it more often but it's not easy with two little ones (and all their toys!) underfoot. My next purchase is going to be the Zumba game. In fact I traded in over $100 worth of games and equipment to the local GameStop just so I could get it. :-)

How are you liking EA Active 2? I was thinking about buying it, but don't know anyone that has tried it.

I played on my brother in laws kinect.... it was AWESOME! I was just playing the game that came with the package, it just had a bunch of mini games. I was so out of breath and sweaty but I was having so much fun. I have an xbox but cannot afford a kinect at the moment Definitely plan on getting one as soon as finances allow.

I'm in love with the Kinect! We have Dance Central and Your Shape, I tend to vary which one i use when I work out just so I can have some variety. Even with just those two I get a really nice workout, though the hula hoop game on Your Shape often irks my nerve.

I think the Kinect is great thing for people that want to get a good work out but maybe aren't comfortable enough to go to different classes at the gym and such. I don't fit into that category but I won't play DC if anyone else is in the house simply because I look like a fool.

I was looking at getting the EA Active 2 just don't know anyone that's used it so I'm on the edge.

I bought the EA Active 2 and started the 9 week program. I thought I was in some-what decent shape but oh man!! It was really tough!! I was out of breath almost the entire time (except warm up and coold own). I am super sore today, hurts to walk! Well worth it!!!!!!
