    Nike+ Kinect Training
    This game gives you a personalized workout from Nike's expert trainers. It starts with a fitness assessment where you define your goals: to get strong, get toned, or get lean. The workouts continually adjust based on your progress, delivering real-time feedback to make sure that your positions and movements are correct. To keep you motivated, every 4 weeks you are given an assessment of your strength, endurance, and overall fitness. You have the option to compare your results against other members of the Nike+ community or Nike's own stable of athletes, if you dare.

    When you have a baby in the house, it's not exactly easy to find time to make it to the gym. "Me time" is few and far between, and typically in short bursts. Whenever you do get an opportunity to have someone else watch the baby, the last thing you want to do is waste it on something like working out. So how do you lose the baby weight? The answer to that question just might surprise you. The answer to your fitness dilemma: video games. Yes, really! The Xbox 360 + Kinect allows your body to act as the controller -- giving you a fun and no-frills way to get into shape this winter. You can workout along with virtual trainers on the screen and get instant feedback as to how you're doing. Here's my favorite video games to get you in shape without leaving your home! - By Rachel Faucett
