In my opinion, everyone that wants to get in shape or stay in shape during their off-season of a sport should buy this game. You have a selection of 3 goals to obtain in Kinect Training: Get Strong, Get Lean and Get Toned. Each of theses workouts are based on plyometrics. For people that are wondering what's plyometrics it is know as jump training. It's a different way to workout while barely ever using any weights. Some of the major athletes in the world use plyometrics to train their sport. Soccer, Rugby, Racket Sports, Martial Arts and basketball, all of theses sports make use of plyometrics. Basically any sport that has constant moving could be benefit with plyo. This proves that Kinect Training is getting you ready to lose all that weight and become the athlete you always imagined to be.
One thing that caught my attention, is how every week the workouts are getting more intense, to help you obtain your goal you have chosen. Who would want to repeat the same exercises over and over again it just won't be any fun. With Kinect Training it gives you a different variety of workouts such as, you have upper body core and lower body workout. Also, have you ever imagined we would find a fitness workout in technology of virtual gaming because I didn't. Although, once it was released it wasn't that big of a surprise, there was plenty of criticism because of all the glitches. For example, the off seconds, if u moved to the left it would take a second for the kinect to register that movement. Later on, Kinect Training has overcome all the glitch problems like the off seconds movements and was able to release the game October 30, 2012.(1) No doubt in my opinion it is the best Kinect game so far. For those people that want to workout at home and not buy a gym membership and pay that monthly fee you should get this game!
Damn, Justin I had no idea about this, i though that it was all lies, I never thought could help you lose weight, but after this blog post I will honestly try it out, I will probably get back to you with the results after a few short weeks.
ReplyDeleteYa Abdallah this game is not a joke! You get result, try it out and let me know if you reach your goal. Just remember to chose the right goal, cause every goal is a different type of workouts. Anyways have fun and get back to me with your result Abe.
DeleteWow Justin, very interesting post! I’m amazed to see how far we are with technology and how you can actually work out in front of a camera and it tells you if you’re doing the right steps and positions. They’ve really redefined ‘personal training’ by allowing you to get the right tips and encouragement to work out without even leaving your home.
ReplyDeleteI never thought I would see the day when video games would be able to get you active and get you into shape! It's actually quite ironic if you think about, video games making you get off the couch? Other than that, it's awesome to see how much video games have changed over time.
ReplyDeleteI've never been one to play many video games. However, reading your post, it seems like a good way to enjoy yourself and relieve stress in the busy and hectic lives of many people. This video game in particular seems very interesting. I've heard of video games that require moderate hand movement, but I didn't realize that there are video games that can help get you fit. The idea seems pretty neat because I think it could encourage physical activity in people that play a lot of video games!
ReplyDeleteWhen I hear the words "video games", I usually think of the stereotypical games where you just sit there with a remote control in front of a TV for hours at a time. However, now with the evolution of games and people coming up with many different ideas and coming up with things like the kinect training. Now that I see that there are now more games that require movement and people are not just sitting on their butts in front a TV. I am really enjoying your blog!
