Your Shape and Fitness Evolved 2012

Your Shape and Fitness Evolved 2012 includes over 90 hours of activities, so you can design a workout tailored to your fitness level, goals, schedule and preferences. Focus your workouts on specific muscle groups. And choose from fitness activities like Boot Camp, Cardio Boxing, Jump Rope and Kinect Yoga, and new dance classes like Latin, Hip-hop, African and Bollywood. The state-of-the-art motion tracking provides feedback on your moves, and now tracks floor exercises like push-ups and sit-ups. With Your Shape Center, share and compete with your friends and the global community.
There are 4 Kinect Yoga classes in Your Shape and Fitness Evolved,  In yoga, it analyzes your limb configuration with a stick figure drawn over your onscreen image, telling you which parts of your body are in or out of alignment. When you've got it right, the white lines turn green, checkmarks accrue and there's glitter and sound effects everywhere up in the HUD. It's a great feedback mechanism and makes exercising feel more like a game instead of exercise. Nothing beats having a human fitness instructor guiding you, but this is about as close as it gets doing it in your own home.
