    I just put n Xbox fitness on the Xbox one to see what it was all about.

    But being a 30 plus year old who does minimal exercise and is carrying a few extra stone around, I found the first two videos I put on too much. It wasn't the level of exercise, it was the complexity of the moves. "and over to half moon"

    Has anyone used this and knows of a fat bloke program?

    I'd say ignore half of the muscled bloke ones that have names like 'sweat till you puke' or 'this will make you want to die'. (insanity / p90x, etx).

    Some of the simpler ones are the 10-min workouts for cardio to get you started. Most of those are things like jogging on the spot, stretches or lunges and generally get you moving and warmed up to tackle other ones one a few weeks.

    You could be in trouble if the platinum achievements are along the lines of "Do 5000 squats without stopping" :pac:

    I use it a few times a week, just the 10 minute cardio "blasts" after going to the gym. There's no particularly challenging moves in them.

    I stuck on some of the kickboxing ones, but I felt like a right wanker doing all the punches and kicks in my room.

    Might try one of the insanity/p90x ones at the weekend to see what all the fuss is about.

    And yeah, easy achievements :pac:
