LMAO. It tops out at 10.000 kcal - thats like ... nothing.

I honestly don't get the point of these games. Do half the "workout" you could get from just doing cardio for thirty minutes, but pay for it! It's not like the majority of the people who really will do this will eat right either, which is 95% of weight loss (it's as simple as a calorie deficit, God damnit). "Wow, what a workout, I need a reward. Time to gorge myself in pizza!"
 
It's depressing, really.

Personally, I think it's better to have a workout and then gorge yourself in pizza than to just gorge yourself in pizza.

I guess it's time to start S ranking Kinect games.        :P

Well, I decided to give it a try...we'll see....often workout videos aren't tough enough (although I have tried some of Mindy Mylrea's videos and they *are* tough.)  The other thing is that a video is obviously a set routine as opposed to classes where the instructor can vary things up a bit (and most make it a point to do so.)  I'm hoping this new genre of "games" can provide workouts that are both challenging enough for people already fit *and* not become rote.

lol, what?  You can be thin and still be completely out of shape.  "

forget all this kinect fitness business or gym memberships and just go outside and ride a bike

" From a medical point of view burning 10.000 calories in a day is deadly. Professional athletes burn far less on a practice or game day. Even professional cyclists (Tour de France) burn around max 8000 calories/day.   "

Just spend the first evening with this game. It is suprisingly challenging. There are some fidelity issues which allow for cheating, but I am actually looking for a good workout. That being said I took the fitness test 3 times in a row (bug?). What is a little bit of a let down is that it does not really give you a varied program you can follow. You just go down the route you initially selected.

They should've put a "gain 30 pounds" achievement into the game as well, just for shits and giggles.

This thread so far:
 
 
The Kinect player yells at the Rock Band player: "Get a real instrument!"
The Rock Band player yells at the Kinect player: "Get real exercise!"

Cool achievement, this game looked cool. I'm not in terrific shape so I might get this when I get a Kinect.

I always find it interesting to check the achievement progress on games, see what percentage of people beat the third level of a game to what percentage finished it.  It's going to be real depressing to see a ton of people with the 400 calories achievement and then slowly dipping down from there.
 
I'll try.  I was overweight in high school, and then I spent six months eating basically nothing and dropped 70 pounds, and stayed around that weight for a couple years, now I feel like I'm heading back up the hill.  See if I can combine a semi-regular Kinect schedule while lowering the frequencies of the cookie binge.
 
Don't think I can stop the three energy drinks a day, though.  My kidneys hurt when I drink them and my brain hurts when I don't.

I thought this meant 10,000 kCal, since in nutrition kCal are usually just called Calories. But if it just means 10 kCal, then that is super easy.
