Today I want to talk about my favorite weight loss games.
1. EA Active 2 for Kinect
This game really does a great job of working your total body. It's fun to play because there are so mnay different workouts and scenery settings to choose from. Personally I enjoy the mountain biking simulation where you alternate between running, squatting, and jumping to get over hills. It comes with a heart rate monitor that is more or less acurate. Everytime I play this I am sweating and gasping for air, in an awesome workout way of course!
2. Zumba for kinect
This one is probably my favorite one to dance to. I love it because the music is upbeat and gets you moving and it makes you feel all sexy and sassy too. The bar at the bottom fills up if you do the moves correctly and the main dancer critiques you on how well or poorly you are performing the moves. I only wish there was more variety and that it gave you some more lee-way in terms of performing the dance moves. If you don't do the dance move right little red marks appear on the body parts you aren't moving correctly. Sometimes it's frusterating because you can do the move perfect and it will still say you are doing it wrong. All in all, a great game.
3. Dance Central for Kinect
This one is a little more mild and better for beginners. It's fun because you just DANCE and there are tons of songs that you know. This one makes you feel like you actually know how to dance (where my white people at??!!) because most of the moves are easy to follow. I love the colors and characters and music. There is also an option of turning on "workout mode" that tells you how many calories you burn per song, though I don't know how accurate it is. This one is great because it plays like a fun video game should but gives you that feeling of being active and tricks you into thinking you are burning calories!
