I technically wouldn’t call “Just Dance” a workout when it’s a party of one. If you’re at home playing by yourself, the moves are pretty easy and you won’t break too much of a sweat. But this game is meant to be played with others — when you bring your friends into the mix, things get crazy.

I almost knocked a girl over trying to get to my spot on time (Just Dance likes to make you switch positions with other players). I’m pretty sure she hated me by the end of the song, but I got the top score and that’s all that matters.

This game is perfect for those of us who like working out with other people. The simple moves make it fun for everyone (awesome dance skills not necessary) and the competition encourages you to give it your all. Plus, the newest version of “Just Dance” has One Direction and Katy Perry’s newest hit “Roar” in it and who doesn’t love that?
