Fight the Fat!!
PostedJanuary 3, 2011
This is truly a great workout! I only have done light workouts for 20 or 30 minutes and every time I am sweating like crazy and truly felt the aching muscles. My very first time, I was whooped! My whole body was shaky and my muscles were feeling it! But as quickly as day 2, I felt like I had more stamina, and it made me feel good. The only two issues are space and the awkward menus. You need a large amount of space for this game! I have about 6x4 feet of space to play in and I am unable to do any floor exercises. It just wont read me, not sure why the kinect sensor doesnt move for those ones but it just doesnt I suppose. The other thing is the menus are very awkward. The options are all so close and very small for a Kinect game. I often go into the wrong section because it moves so quickly and overpasses the option :/ All in all, if you are wanting to lose some weight and need a motivator, this is your game! The trainers are talking you through it and you feel good after you finish a workout.
I bought this in January to get me started on my workout. It is a great way to get you started but not a long term program. First the body scanner never works. The on and off accuracy of the sensor will drive you nuts as you get into more serious workouts. Not much customization on what type of workout you want to do or what days of the week you want to work out.

Not At All What is Expected.
PostedJanuary 1, 2011
So, being a really big fan of workout games in general. I was really disappointed with this release. Trust me, I didn't play the game for a minute and come to this conclusion. I gave it a fair shot over a two week period. First off, the sensor reads you extremely poorly. There were times I wash matching the trainer and it would not pick up. During some of the challenge games, It will not read your kicks. The graphics were extremely generic and the trainers have about a 5 sentence motivational vocabulary. All in all after the two weeks of following the workouts, I found out that I had wasted fifty dollars.
I have been thinking about getting a workout game, but would like to get a good one. You sound as though you are a fan of this type of game, so what would you suggest as an alternative?

It's a workout game using a brand new technology based on a TV show...you really expected a bit too much. Go buy a personal trainer instead.

Wow what a workout!
PostedDecember 28, 2010
I got the Kinect for Xmas and i couldn't wait to play Kinect Adventures or Kinect Sports. I got the BL to see how workout games on this would be. I was a bit skeptical because i have owned every workout game for the wii and while tyhey are fun and i lost some weight with Wii fit it didn't do what i wanted it to do. I can say that BL is exactly what i need. This is a great workout with good set of breaks and it tires you out with out making you want to quit. The exercises are perfect. The body analisys wasn't the best but you can change the numbers so that they are more accurate so that isn't to much of a problem. I didn't play any of the other workout games yet so i can't compair and I am not a fan of the BL on TV but I love this game and will be using it for a while.

Good Workout
PostedDecember 8, 2010
The exercises are great for all shapes and sizes. They will kick your butt. However, the interface is not very intuitive and is difficult to navigate. It is not always clear what you should do next or how to get there. The in game trainers are just as annoying as the TV show but are at the same time a good motivation to keep going. Overall, if you want a good exercise program this is worth the price. Save some money and buy the pre-owned version. If you are looking for a game buy Kinect Sports but it will not work you as hard as this title.
