Xbox One getting Xbox Fitness app

Microsoft has revealed plans to release an Xbox Fitness app for the Xbox One.

The service will take the world's most popular fitness videos and make them interactive for people at home to follow.

Famous names from fitness brands like Insanity's Shaun T will be included in the videos, and they'll be available for free to players with Xbox Live Gold accounts.

Xbox Fitness uses Kinect to read heart rate, see which muscles are most engaged and track your performance.

"What makes Xbox Fitness so innovative is the feedback it gives you," said Shaun T.

"The Kinect sensor can evaluate your form, tell how high you're jumping, how hard you're punching and even read your heart rate.

"It's that little missing piece of validation that hasn't been possible for home fitness products before. Xbox Fitness completes the puzzle."

Xbox Fitness launches at the end of 2013.
