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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
