I made this thread when this forum was new, but it got lost for some reason.

Anyway, I wanted to use this thread to high-lite new active video game products you can use in your fitness rooms, etc.

The 1st is Samba De Amigo:

We recently added this game to our fitness room and it is outstanding. Make sure to get the maracas attachments for both wi-motes and nunchuks.

It is a DDR style game except you use your arms shaking the maracas to the beat in 6 directions.

It is a really good arm workout....and my students LOVED it. They were dancing while shaking the maracas...to funny.

The songs are all latin based and there are some terrific songs.


The 2nd game is:

Active Life Outdoor Challenge

While we haven't tried it yet, it got a nice review from USA Today:

I'll post in this thread as new games come out.
