Christmas came early to my house this year! My roommate Toi has been talking about getting a Kinect for what seems like FOREVER – and she finally brought one home as her Black Friday splurge! It’s turned out to be my reward too!

I’ll admit, I’ve never been a real video game player, so I was skeptical that I’d enjoy playing it! WRONG!!! Oh my gosh, I am loving it and the fact that you use your entire body to play! Who knew?

I can’t tell you what a great cardio workout we’ve been getting every evening with just a few dance songs and other fun games. If you’re looking for a way to involve your entire family, plus get in shape (without realizing it), I recommend you invest in any video game console – they’re certainly not like our old Atari! Frogger’s got nothing on me!

Our winter is going to be filled with fun while we melt some pounds; and just maybe, I’ll be ready for bathing suit season next year!
