Ubisoft Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2012 - Kinect Compatible (Xbox 360)

Would highly recommend. Have had this game for about a year now and i'm still finding new things to do in it. I have a tendency to get extremely bored with workout games/dvds as i crave variety but this has not happened yet and i don't think it's going to happen for a long time! If you want a 'proper' workout you can choose from cardio, sports training or do a dance class, or if you would rather target certain areas there are options for legs, bums, arms, abs, etc. You can choose timed workouts anything between 5 minutes to over 30 minutes and while you are doing these workouts the countdown timer is on the screen which, for me anyway, helps me to keep going until the end. It also allows you about 10-15 seconds between 'moves' to catch your breath or grab a sip of water which is great. Moreover, if you prefer to do a more relaxing workout, there is Zen Energy (Tai Chi) and Yoga which i highly enjoy as the Kinnect scans you to make sure you are in the right position. I always like to end my workouts with either one of these as they can act as a cool down. Or if i've had a stressfull day the breathing always calms me down. There are also fun activities such as skipping and wall punch which doesn't even feel like a workout because you concentrate so much the task. With everything you do it measures the calories you've burned and saves your progress and you can also set goals for yourself. Best money i've ever spent on an exercise game as i'm still getting my money's worth.

Hat bisschen lange gedauert aber CD ist ok. Hat sich gelohnt zu warten.

Molto coinvolgente e molto interessante. Ti sprona a fare sport anche senza dover uscire di casa. Ero un po'scettica prima di prenderlo ma lo rifarei altre 100 volte

jeu très agréable, reconnaissance kinect efficace, les exercices sont bien pensés et permettent une progression d'entraînement. les exercices sont sympathiques et permettent de suer et de sentir que l'on se dépense beaucoup. à recommander. Kinect indispensable

I have done 10 sessions, each over 60 mins long and felt it was time to review. I really love this game, there is a lot of variety and as you explore each activity you learn how to put together a workout that is right difficulty. I have lost 2KGs in a month, from 85 to 83KG, mainly thanks to this. I do not see myself tiring of this in the coming months. If you sign up for an online weight tracker like HealthyWeightTracker you can keep the motivation going. It is not perfect, some of the workouts are too tough for me (e.g press ups) and some of the dance routines are near impossible (bollywood). I also find Yoga surprisingly difficult. I really enjoy Jumprope but I think the music is slightly out of time with the game, which makes it difficult for people like myself with natural rhythm, because I tend to skip in time to the music rather than the game. Also, the 'calories burned' info is quite dubious, for example Wallbreaker tends to offer really high calories burned compared to something like 'Boot Camp' which I find much more intense and fatuiging. Some advice. I would advise you to input your age and height etc when starting the game. At first I didnt do this and it was rewarding me with very low calories for each workout. After inputting my age etc it started telling me I was burning about 3x more calories than previously. Despite these minor niggles, which will no doubt be fixed in 2013 version, its great. Microsoft really ought to promote this game more in tv ads and tv shopping as it is much more fun, value for money, and time efficient than going to a gym.
