Get fit at home with fitness video games!

Kinect is another motion gaming console from Xbox 360. It doesn’t involve any controllers or remotes but just detects your movements and responds according to how you move. This means, you can move, run, jump, kick freely as you would in the park while playing any sport. It also corrects you if your form is wrong. The sensor is activated with your hand wave which then displays your avatar on the screen. There is also a feature called Nike + Kinect Training which gives you real time feedback with elite coaching and personalised exercise programmes.

Just like Wii, Kinect also has a number of fitness games available. Some popular ones are:

• Your Shape Fitness Evolved
• Dance Central series
• UFC Personal Trainer

These gaming-cum-fitness consoles help you work out just as a trainer would in the gym, making them an ideal option for people who do not like gyms or want to exercise at home. Getting fit was never this easy!
