Microsoft really wants to extend the use of its forthcoming Xbox One console outside of just games, and this weekend it introduced another component of that plan – Xbox Fitness.
The program will be offered free of charge to all Xbox Live Gold subscribers, and features a number of trainers with specific programs, including Jillian Michaels, Tracy Anderson, P90X, Insanity and many others.
Xbox Fitness works with the system’s Kinect device, tracking not only the player’s movement, but also their heart rate, to see if they’re working too fast too soon. The video below highlights some of the workouts that will be available on the first day of the program, November 22nd – the same day that the Xbox One hits stores.
The program will be free under December 2014. After that, it’s likely to be accessible via a subscription fee.
