Kinect and Xbox Fitness does not track non standing exercises

I've seen several successful streams that are almost dedicated to fitness in general. If there was still a big push for Kinect and other exercise games on the xbox it would have been a bit easier of a venture. I was sad to see the Xbox Fitness app go away.

I love when Kinect is tracking you doing floor exercises like, say, situps, and you simply DISAPPEAR from the tracking box and you lose points.

Seems to me they just really messed up the Kinect with this update in the attempt to deintegrate the Kinect as unnecessary, but forgetting about all of us who have it. Problems I have seen:

• Kinect camera/floor setup completely removed/doesn't work anymore
• Kinect voice recognition worse - I need to basically yell at it at times now
• Kinect facial recognition worse - I get the "Sorry, we couldn't log you in, use a controller"
  
• Loses me constantly in the middle of a floor exercise during Xbox Fitness even though it was tracking me fine for the first few reps
  

Sure it may not be as exciting as leaving the house (or as sociable), but it's far more convenient - which is what a lot of people seem to like nowadays. You don't have to spend money on a gym membership or for the gas to get there. It's a huge time-saver
- that's not lazy, that's smart. As far as saying that you don't get as much out of it exercise-wise, that's a load of baloney IMO. As long as your muscles are getting the exact same kinds of movement and stress to exercise them, it does work. I'm living proof
that it can work if used properly - I lost over 30 lbs. in 3 months exercising for 30 min. on the original Kinect with Your Health and Fitness Evolved twice a week (and eating right, of course - we can't forget that) - and that was on the old one! The new
one really does make a difference with more accurate readings and helping you keep track of your heart-rate.
