"Few of us will ever reach the athletic prowess of a Lebron James or Rafael Nadal, but now technology is ready to help us train a little more like these sports superstars. Nike announced Nike+ Kinect Training for Xbox 360 during Microsoft\u2019s E3 press conference on Monday. It\u2019s a custom training program specifically designed to help users, whatever their fitness level, reach their goals in the comfort of their own homes. \nUsing the Kinect motion sensor technology, virtual personal trainers can assess a user's physical prowess, see what needs improvement and create a personalized workout plan for achieving that personal best. There\u2019s real-time feedback so if you\u2019re not performing up to snuff, you\u2019ll hear about it. After a few weeks of workouts, there's a re-assessment. \nThere\u2019s also real-time motivation. The Nike trainers have worked with some of the world\u2019s greatest athletes, so they can deliver high-level expertise along with what Nike calls a \u201Cfun and inspiring\u201D experience right in your home.\n\n\nSEE ALSO: Xbox Music Will Bring 30 Million Tunes to Your TV, Smartphone, Tablet\n\nMost of the other fitness and workout videogames keep the action in the home, but Nike+ Kinect Training will integrate with Nike\u2019s other systems, specifically the smartphone app and the Nike FuelBand, as well as Xbox Live. That way there's always someone to train against, no matter the hour.\nNike+ Kinect Training will be available in time for the holidays. \nWhat do you think of the Nike/Microsoft partnership?
