Your Shape Fitness Evolved: Week 4 Diary and Giveaway
This week, I tried out Your Shape Fitness Evolved’s Humana Health series: Strengthen Your Heart, Active Kids, and Aging With Grace. Each of these is targeted to a particular demographic/purpose.
Strengthen Your Heart had me moving with squat punches, knee-up punches, tap backs, jumping jack punches, kick crosses, jab knee-ups, dumbbell squats, goblet squats, and triceps skating. All of these workouts burned 49 calories.
Next up, I tried Active Kids which is targeted more towards the younger set. Though I did these by myself, I could picture my son doing the squat kick combos, knee-up punches, shuffle cross punches, front kick punches, squat punches, jab knee-ups, combo arms switches, jumping jack punches, and kick crosses with me. This workout wound up burning 56 calories.
If Active Kids is aimed at younger folks, Aging With Grace is geared towards an older crowd. This workout wasn’t strenuous but still managed to burn 49 calories using step touches, knee fronts, tap backs, Z-Steps, Open-Close, squat punches, dumbbell squats, scaptions, and braced squats.

Great post and the new 2012 version sounds even better than the version I have. Especially love tracking my progress on #YSC where I can set goals and challenge other gamers – It’s a good community! Unfortunately I bought my Xbox Kinect bundle in Oct ’11 which came with the original YSFE and not the new 2012 version so I’d love to win the latest version to be even more motivated!
I love that they have a version geared towards the “older crowd”. I have a ruptured disk from a fall while I was out hiking. So I have to be careful not to aggravate it when I exercise. So it is nice you can still burn a decent amount of calories with the less strenuous version.
I am so excited to try this! I keep seeing all the downloadable content they keep adding.
The Active Kids sounds fun for my 4 and 6 year old.
You can tell by your photos that it is getting easier for you (and you’re enjoying it more!).
this workout seems really fun
Just wondering if you’re noticing much difference after 4 weeks. How many times a week have you been able to do it without getting bored?
The Aging with Grace one sounds perfect for those who need low-impact exercises.
Pretty cool there’s something for every age group. Some of the previous weeks’ regimen sounds tiring.
Oh how fun with the younger set – I’m with you that I could see my son doing this with me. Great practice for his tkd perhaps?
