Anyone use Kinect for working out?

Never was really interested in the Kinect for gaming, but I'm seeing a lot of Kinect themed workout 'games'. Like UFC and Zumba. Was wondering how effective it is for working out. I play DDR every night for 80 minutes for the past 5 years but I'm getting burnt-out and need to try something different.

I bought my brother one for Christmas and he's been using it every day for 30 minutes (forget which game) and says it kicks his ass. Lost 10 lbs so far but that could be related more to his diet than the Kinect.

If you use Kinect to work out, what titles are you playing and how much weight have you lost?

no, but mine makes a good dust collecting paper weight

Sounds like my Wii.

I occasionally use mine to work out either by playing UFC: Personal Trainer or Your Shape: Fitness Evolved. But you can pretty much get a workout playing most Kinect games. Go play Fruit Ninja for 20 minutes and try to act like your arms aren't sore afterwards. Even with proper stretching Kinect games can be quite a workout.
