Updated on December 6, 2010

Getting in shape and staying in shape is definitely something that a lot of people struggle with. But what if you could really workout and get a good fitness regimen going with video games!? The Nintendo Wii already proved how popular fitness games can be, and with Microsoft's new Kinect for the Xbox 360, fitness video games will be taken to a whole new level.

Kinect is a new motion-control camera that will be able to see all of your movements and translate them into the video games. What does this mean for Kinect fitness games? It means you will not only get the ability to work out in the privacy of your own home, but you'll also be able to get the valuable, real time feedback from the Kinect games telling you how well you are doing the various exercises. If you're doing the exercises wrong, you won't see the benefits from them which is why a personal trainer is nice. Kinect fitness games will be like having a fitness trainer right there in your home to help you get some good Kinect exercise with these Kinect exercise games.
