You are graded on how accurately you imitate each move, so it forces you to be energetic and really commit to the dance.
The 2024 release features a new dance workout mode that includes high-intensity routines to your favorite songs. It comes with over 40 new songs, including popular Disney songs as well as groundbreaking songs from a variety of genres from rock and hip-hop to Latin and K-pop.
Although it’s a fun workout in itself, the multiplayer mode makes it even more fun by letting you dance with friends – or challenge them to a dance competition.
New songs are added throughout the year to keep the game up to date and you can subscribe to Just Dance+ to access over 300 songs and in-game events.

A fun game that happens to be an exercise: Till You Fall
Play Station
Until You Fall is a hack-and-slash sword fighting game set in a neon fantasy world filled with monsters and spirits. You play as the last surviving Rune Knight as he fights these creatures using a series of magical weapons.
Combat requires swinging a sword, crouching, and dodging attacks so you can act very quickly, especially when you’re fighting a horde of enemies. Since you’re immersed in a magical fantasy world, it doesn’t feel like you’re struggling with a typical workout routine.
With three difficulty modes to start, you can adjust the intensity of your workout by playing the game on different modes. Monsters become faster to attack and harder to defeat the higher the difficulty level, so it will take faster reflexes and a more powerful sword swing to take them down.
Once you beat the final boss on one of these difficulty modes, you can unlock the Nightmare difficulty level for a more intense workout.
$25 on PlayStation
