I'm looking to get fit for my wedding this Christmas. I want to supplement going to the gym with maybe some fun ways to get fit with games and such.

Which is the best console for doing so? Wii U or Xbox One? Which has the best games etc.

Thank you in advance duders!

i tried some of the 30min and 10 min workouts, I thought it was alright. There is a lot of free vids (Free for gold members) You definitely need some space for it.

For me no question xbox fitness is the way to go. It's the real deal. Good range of workouts for most levels of fitness.

A friend of mine has sworn up and down that the Xbone fitness stuff is really good. I don't have the room to try it, but both he and his wife are way into it.

I also want to point out that Ubisoft has that new Xbox One game coming out they showed off at E3. It actually looks like it could be a lot of ridiculous fun. It's a fitness/competition game where you compete with others in the room (there is probably also a single player mode) in different exercises, all while on screen crazy things are happening. Like during push-ups, a whale will balance on your back or something. It looks super responsive and actually perfectly recreates your body on the screen, it's kind of freaky.

I think it's called Shape Up!

Could pick up a Japanese PS2 and a DDR pad.

EDIT: Under the assumption that there are more DDR games released in Japan than the US.

Xbox One. Dance Central & Xbox Fitness. I use Xbox Fitness every day now. Lots of free stuff, and even more if you want to throw a couple of bucks down. The Kinect tracking may seem silly at first, but it really plays a huge part in the harder, faster stuff.

Some of that kinect stuff worked for me in the short term. I didn't really stick with it, but it got me moving with direction well enough.

@kylenalepa: I would recommend just getting a PC dance pad since there's Stepmania which people have ported every song from every DDR ever to as well as some new ones.

Play Metal Slug 3 without credit feeding and do some pushups, chinups, jumping jacks etc. every time you get a Game Over.

I used to play Dance Dance Revolution to lose weight. It actually works fairly decently. The music is a bit bland and boring for a lot of the games, but I just muted the TV and played my own music. Yes I realize that kills the rhythm, but it worked fine for me. Plus there are a lot of games available these days so you can have many options.
