Xbox Fitness Pass (paid subscription service)

Thats really cool, even if its just partial access - P90X is ~$150 and Insanity is about the same, so to receive them for free is very cool.

:lol:

I would love to give Jillian Michaels a good workout.:twisted:

I feel genuinely bad for anyone who got suckered into doing P90x or Insanity. Ninja-Hippo

Wtf! People still think P90x/Insanity are viable starting points for any form of bodybuilding? Push/Pull/Leg split or gtfo. OT: So this is what MS get up to instead of securing indie titles and building a half decent first party and in between wrecking their own first parties (rare/remedy am cry for you).StriateEnd

[QUOTE="XxR3m1xInHDn3D"][QUOTE="ImBatman-"]This. I feel bad for anyone who actually paid for those programs. You're much better off doing research and you'll get much better results in the gym.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="mulalatum"]I'd like to promote my own new fitness pass, its called ''put some shoes and run outside'', the best thing, its free. mulalatum

I grew up in the country. I went to school with kids who barely had what would qualify as shoes, but by god they had a camaro.

Pretty good offer. Both Insanity and P90X are great programs that shed alot of fat.ManInFlames

They suck for putting on muscle though, if you wanna get bulky and ripped.

[QUOTE="XxR3m1xInHDn3D"] Or you could buy your own weights and not use crappy machines at a gym like most people do XxR3m1xInHDn3D

heart rate with the all new Kinect

j2zon2591

Hi there. Not a question for you TC, but one for MS from me, Senior Lab Technician for Exercise Physiology at a Major University. :

How the hell can Kinect2 measure Heart Rate? Apparently it does so by skin temperature? If true, there's just no way it's accurate. Seriously, the option to buy a Polar bluetooth strap would be far more intelligent. A person serious about their training wouldn't pay a blind bit of attention to any HR Kinect reported if that was it's method.

[QUOTE="BoxingandGaming"]Its also been proven Microsoft pays shills to FUD forums. Its such a despicable practice by Microsoft.superclocked

hahaha. Obviously you jest but if it were actually sensitive enough to detect a pulse that way it would be amazing. 

Sorry mate, I can't stand stuff like this. It's basically a lie. It's not measuring heart rate, it's estimating it. Estimating HR from Skin Temperature.... I don't remember reading about that in The Lancet. 

You ready for Shawn T?Mr-Kutaragi

WTF? Is that his boyfriend...

Wow his husband. Would have never guessed that.

Yeah if you are not really serious about.

This home, does it have a bench press? squat rack? decline bench? dumbbells to 60kg? treadmill? cycle ergometer? bio impedance analysis machine? chin up bar? enough weights for a 150kg deadlift?

Hmm. 

But I'll play devil's advocate - the gym costs money, you have to travel there, it can be intimidating etc.

I have all of that stuff except cycle ergometer, treadmill, and analysis device.... which are not required at all (jogging and steps bro).

A benchpress and squat rack all in one aren't that expensive.  The weights are also cheap (300+ for Deadlift).

Wow man. That was really really awesome. Good job. I am better educated about available technology now. 

There was one part in the video which really hit home for me, and that was Christian Bale breathing. It's subtle, but you can tell the heart rate is slightly faster when he breathes in, compared to breathing out - this is physiologically normal and I expected it (respiratory sinus arhythmia), so seeing it like that is very convincing that the technology works. That pretty much convinced me that the pulse rate of a human could be measured, not estimated, but literally measured directly from video footage. 

Thanks heaps RR360DD, that was very very impressive. Assumming Kinect2 has this ... wow. That's like, the easiest non-invasive way I have ever seen to directly monitor physiological effort. Fitness games will be amazing on the system.

Damn, that's a good set up. Attached is a quick pic of what I've got. 

 Squat rack, adjustable bench, basic stuff.
