your shape p90x dlc coming soon

[Chubear]

This is SO HARDCORE!!!!!!!! .... lol

[HairyArse]

Ha, can you imagine? That would be intense.

[Christopher]

I'd buy it if it did come. Love the p90x program.

As far as the article, this is far from the hardest achievement. It just takes a long time. Personally, 180 calories burned in a session is not enough. I tend to burn at least 300 calories with each workout.

[jerethdagryphon]

the fitness challenges in both systems are rediculas

get fit with mell b for instance has burn off a large pepperoni which works out at 4k

but these are not do it in one setting challenges but acumulitive

[swift_monkee]

that would just be completely unhealthy and defeat the purpose of a fitnees games. they say it takes around 3500 calories to gain a pound so you would have to lose close to 3 pounds in one sitting.

[Spydr07]

Um, that's closer to what you need to burn to lose a pound of body fat. You have to eat around 4,500 Calories to gain a pound.

FYI, this is because once the fat is stored as body fat a percentage of that weight is water.

I have no idea where you took math at, but if you're trying to burn off one large pepperoni at 4,000 Calories, that would be just over one pound.

just do some real fitness. go job outside, do some push ups and sit ups, lift some weights.

why the hell do you need t do it infront of a screen at home, so sad

[Rainstorm81]

Yea its not like people ever work out at home in front of a tv........Oh Wait!

People have been using fitness dvd's tapes and shows for ages from Tae-Bo to Richard Simmons ... motion gaming has just introduced fitness via a new another medium...... Gaming

[Cherchez La Ghost]

@Raiinstorm81

I was about to say the same thing. People here are just flaming just becase it's Kinect. I would not be surprised if Move will advertise exersise game soon if this will sell for Kinect.

Watch some talk show on TV will be using this game soon. I just see it. God forbid it'll be on Opra.

[DeFFeR]

20 hours?

How is that "the toughest achievement ever"?

For people who are fit, and who work out - this is nothing... 2, 3 weeks?

I spent more time trying to do Mass Effect/Dragon Age/FFXIII/Oblivion runs for less than 50 GS.

[princejb134]

this is a excellent achievement
especially for achievement whores
alot of achievement whores is problably lazy and spend hours just gathering them sitting down
microsoft should add more achievements like these to get them of their seat and working out

If it takes 20 minutes to burn 140 to 180 calories, how many minutes would it take to burn 10,000?

20M = 140 Calories
20M = 180 Calories
M = 140 calories/20 minutes = 7 calories
M = 180 calories/20 minutes = 9 calories

So for every minute playing Your Shape: Fitness Evolved, there is 7 - 9 calories burned.

10,000 calories/ 7 calories = 1428.57 minutes
10,000 calories/ 9 calories = 1111.11 minutes

1428.57 minutes /60 = 23.80 hours
1111.11 minutes/60 = 18.52 hours

If someone was going to play for exactly 2 hours a day, then they would have to work out for a minimum of 9 days, and at most 12 days.

thanks professor

@Ro0:
It's basic high school algebra, not NASA rocket science.
Although my high school physics teacher taught me rocket math.

As a side note, EA Sports: Active advertises getting fit in only 20 minutes a day.

( http://www.youtube.com/watc...

So if it would take 9 - 12 days to burn 10,000 at a speed of 7 - 9 calories per minute working out at 2 hours per day, how many days would it take to burn 10,000 working at 20 minutes per day?

2 hours x 60 minutes = 120
120 / 20 minutes = 6

6 x 9 days = 54 days
6 x 12 days = 72 days

72 days / 7 days in a week = 10.28 weeks
54 / 7 = 7.71 weeks

10 weeks/4 weeks in 1 month = 2.5 months
7/4 = 1.75 months

So it will take 1 and 3/4 - 2 and 1/2 months to burn 10,000 calories.

It takes about 3500 calories to burn 1 pound of fat. So

10,000/ 3500 = 2.8 lbs.

So it takes 2 and 1/2 months to burn 3 lbs.

Lol they don't really say how long it will take to get in shape.
I want to hear the marketing team say that in their advertisement. "EA Sports: Active - Get in shape by working out only 20 minutes a day and lose 3 pounds every 3 months."

Silly advertisements.

It is pure easy anyway you slice it. The last and only thing in this world that is hard todo as far as your body goes is having clear skin/face. even doctors dont know how to solve it for everyone at this point. Fat people need to just shut up and people who need to loose weight do to.

[visualb]

and/or health related issues.

certain people CAN NOT do exercise due to bad health, as for others have a bad metabolism and thus have it harder off

im lucky I have great metabolism and am in great health, but you can't generalize like that.

however I agree, MOST fat people are fat because they are lazy. but not ALL

[Chris_TC]

You're talking about a tiny, tiny minority. Almost all overweight people could easily lose that weight if they got off their humongous butt.

A slow metabolism doesn't mean it's impossible to lose weight. It just means you need to work out more or eat less. Also, working out accelerates your metabolism if I'm not mistaken.

[Venatus-Deus]

@ Chris_TC & TM

While I agree to a certain extent… just remember that a lot of fat people are likely to have Type 2 Diabetes (thats about 20 million).

While there is a chickhen and egg arguement when discussing this, I think they have a right not to be included in that generalization

@ visualb

metabolism has nothing to do with being obese/fat. If anything a slower metabolism means a person can eat less.

[Dday141]

You guys are just lazy assholes. I usually burn 320 calories in 30 minutes. One workout session for me is an hour. I can do up to two workout sessions a day, meaning 2 hours of exercise. So I usually burn 1,280 calories a day. So it can be done in about a week. Even two weeks if your kinda lazy.

[Spydr07]

Yeah, put down people on the internet! You feel better? Lol. 1,280 in a day isn't that impressive--especially if you're doing two hours of work.

[Hades1337]

Sounds pretty "hardcore".
