Yourself Fitness - Xbox

I bought this because I was using the Kinect system and read some reviews saying this was the best workout for a video game system. It is for the original XBox, but will work with the 360 system. Here's what I found and what I compare it against: Pros: 1, The Kinect workouts are nice but they have a lag in between exercises that can be a mini-cool down. I don't want to slow my heart rate, so I don't like this. I want consistency. 2, If using the Kinect routines that have a heart monitor it often times will inaccurately read, or not read at all (especially while running in place). So this routine can be used with a nice heart monitor system. 3. It will adjust to your needs by asking questions and has an easy to use interface to get you on the right path for what you want. 4. Inexpensive to purchase. Little equipment necessary. Gives a great workout if a person is motivated to keep-up. 5. Doesn't need to read your movements. Sometimes the Kinect can make me crazy with trying to keep my movements visible enough to track. Cons: 1. The only drawback to this program is that it's not the newest. It won't download to the 360 hard drive. If the system fully powers down (is unplugged) the settings are lost. My overall opinion is that if you are like me and have little time to go to a gym to workout, but really want to exercise and want the extra motivation a video gives, this is for you. It's very inexpensive, requires little set-up, is pretty accurate with your degree of fitness if you're accurate with your info going in, and does give a really good workout. As you progress the games intensity progresses. When my disc wears out I will buy another.

This isn't a game, it's a real deal work out video. My gf had the pc version, so I bought her the xbox version and I found it to be pretty cool. If you have neighbors below you, however, you may not want to use this. She has you jumping up and running in place, etc. This is a great workout or even as an alternative for added work out variety to your routine. Not sure why they quit making this...I think some sort of legal issue. It's interactive...you enter in all this info about you and your current workout "status" (you do a work out test) and she builds a program for you based on that info and what it is you're looking to do (lose weight, bulk up, etc). This has yoga, too, and it works great (never thought I'd say that). Maya will kick your butt, that I can promise you. Only issue we've run in to is you do set up a schedule. For example, you'll end a session on Tuesday and she'll end that session by reminding you that she'll see you Thursday. Pop this in Thursday and she sometimes (not all the time) thinks it's another day. But not sure if that's my xbox clock or the cd?

Love this game. Bought it for a 2nd time as I lost it many years ago. Still great!

Was not clear that this was for an xbox only, not xbox 360 or xbox one. Nobody even uses that antique anymore, and when I did a search for yoga workouts on xbox 360 and kinnect, this was slipped in under the radio as a "good deal." It is totally worthless to me. Buyer beware.

Probably my fault for not reading closely enough but this doesn't use the kinetic with my xbox. It never occured to me that any of these fitness games don't anymore. I got it for the yoga but was having trouble finding that aspect, but that could be user error. Overall the lack of technology integration knocks it down a few stars.

I thought there was more individualization - NOPE ... if you can't do a medium grade cadio workout, this isn't your program. I can't do impact exercise - the initial "see how your fitness level is" STARTED with ... JUMPING JACKS ... I did about 10 ... then there was no way to personailize it to say "I couldn't DO this" ... other issues of the same type - I'll be selling mine - I have not found anything for the x box and also using konect to say "placement is correct" - oh well. I hope this is useful to you... i'm 57 years old btw.

im not a small girl I just lost two babies due to still birth in a row so i gained weight and feel even worse for having a tummy and no baby to explain it it sucks getting asked when Im due....yeah my baby dies but thanks for bringing it up also feel too self concious to go to the gym plus im poor as ffffffff right now! this game/ trainer as long as you follow it is amazing ive used it for years and had to replace my old copy as mine got scratched Ive allready lost weight just depends on your dedication! buy this!!!!! It really works and saves you embarrassment plus its fun making my boyfreind do yoga hahah :)

I was expecting a basic workout routine without much variety. This is not the case. One really can personalize this and the workouts are fun and yes challenging. I recommend this to anyone looking for a workout to keep from getting bored with the regular routine. I use Nike Kinect too and my home ellipitical and free weights. This workout incorporates the weights, my step bench, my heart monitor, and, a nice stretching routine/yoga for 15 minutes afterward. I really enjoy it.
