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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
