Xbox Fitness is a new piece of fitness software for Xbox One. The software builds upon the previously existing fitness titles released for Kinect and makes use of the Xbox One’s Kinect 2.0. Full of recognisable faces such as Shaun T, Jillian Michaels and Tracey Anderson, Xbox Fitness will be available for free for anyone who subscribes to Xbox Live Gold.

“What makes Xbox Fitness so innovative is the feedback it gives you,” Shaun T stated. “The Kinect sensor can evaluate your form, tell how high you’re jumping, how hard you’re punching and even read your heart rate. It’s that little missing piece of validation that hasn’t been possible for home fitness products before. Xbox Fitness completes the puzzle.”

Xbox Fitness will feature variable length workouts, with them lasting as little as 10 minutes or long as 1 hour, social features for comparing with your friends and heart rate monitoring from the improved Kinects new functionality. Xbox Fitness is due for release this holiday season and will be free through until December 2014.
