Dance Central, Just Dance and Zumba



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, sorry if someone already posted a topic like this but I just want to know what you think.

I have Your Shape, Kinectimals, and Kinect Adventures for the Xbox Kinect and Wiifit and The Biggest Loser for the Wii.

Does anybody own the Xbox 360 Kinect or the Wii?

For the Xbox 360 Kinect, do you have Dance Central ? If so what do you think about it, is it fun, is it a great workout? I want this game, it seems fun

What do you think about Zumba for the Kinect?

And lastly, What about Just Dance?

Is there any other fun workout games for these?

Thanks for your help!

I don't have a kinect, but I do have a Wii and I've got Just Dance, Just Dance II, and Zumba. I like these games and I do work up a "sweat" but I don't think that it compares to taking a live class. I also have Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatim and I like it as well.

I think that these are good work out tools, since i love music and always work up a sweat when doing the songs in a row. I use them everyday too add to my weekly workouts. plus there fun and dont feel like exercise. just dance 2 is my favorite!!!

I'm like you I have the Wii but would like the Kinect. I'm just waiting to see what other games they come out with for the Kinect. I do have the Biggest loser, Just Dance, Just Dance II, Michael Jackson, Wii Fitness, Zumba and Country Dance (I believe that's the name) and they are fun. I also get my kids to do this not realizing that they are working out a little....lol.

Nice! They all sound fun and I know nothing can compare to real workouts and stuff but hey, its a start and they always say do something that is fun and anything that gets your heart rate up is exercise. With the kinect, it makes me sweat and with the Wii (I only have Wii fit) it also makes me sweat. So I'm planning on getting some dance games because I'd like to dance but without all the people watching me, you know?

I have the Kinect and I love the Dance Central game. I also have the EA Active 2 and it really makes you break a sweat. I did try the Zumba demo, it seems like it would be a fun game.

I love Wii Just Dance II. I also have a bodybugg which tells you exactly how many calories you burn doing whatever you happen to be doing. After doing one hour of Just Dance II I burn over 700 calories, sometimes upto 800. This is more than a one hour Zumba class at the gym, but that's only because some of that hour is used toward warm up, cool down and stretching. Otherwise they burn about the same. I was shocked when I discovered this. Don't be fooled, like I was, to think that working out to a "video game" doesn't count as "real" exercise. Have fun!

I have the kinnect: dance central 1 & 2, just dance 3, Zumba, biggest loser, fitness evolution, and some others! I think it is great doing an hour of the dance game my body bugg registers me burning any where from 1000-1200 calories and it fun I alternate these in for fun and for times I don't feel like hitting the gym! Hope this

Helps!

I have the wii and have played all the just dances. They are very fun except I tend to get bored with the songs so I decided not to buy them. I am really wanting to try The Biggest Loser game though!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
