Nintendo hit a gold mine when they announced the Wii Fit balance board for the Wii gaming system. It took a risk, and it paid off huge, because many people enjoyed the interactive nature of video games when it comes to their fitness endeavors. The problem was that people had to hold onto to remotes, and they also had to step on the balance board in just the right way.
That is why the newest accessory for the Xbox called Kinect, will be able to take workout video games to the next level. The Kinect is a camera that will be able to track your movements for the video games, so you don't even need to use a controller. This will revolutionize video games that are based on fitness. The Kinect workout games will be like an interactive fitness DVD that gives you real time feedback on how you are doing on your workouts. Want to know if you are doing a certain exercise properly? Kinect will be able to see your movements and tell you.
Here are some of the Kinect fitness games coming out:
