(http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/21/amazon-xbox-360-kinect-nike-bundle/) Redmond is taking this one step further for its next-gen console with Xbox Fitness, a subscription-based service for the Xbox One. Xbox Fitness promises "instant, personalized feedback" on heart rate and form (thanks to the newKinect's innards (http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/20/kinect-a-deeper-look/)), and celebrity trainers include Jillian Michaels (http://gifsoup.com/view/2799102/jillian-michaels-cry.html) and Tony Horton. It's bringing P90X and Insanity workouts, too. The service will be free until December 2014 -- with Xbox Live Gold, of course -- but after that, Microsoft could be locking it behind two paywalls, according to a leaked test-page spotted by NeoGAF's ever-vigilant community (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=686731). We've reached out to the company for confirmation on pricing and will update this post if we hear back. In the meantime remember: Shut up, focus and do the work (http://25.media.tumblr.com/74ad643904f28e2eafaac8bf1d7860b2/tumblr_mjv8iz6TnL1rmxltdo1_500.gif).
