  Shape Up, a new fitness game from Ubisoft, is coming to the Xbox One, and will use the console’s Kinect peripheral. The goal is to make fitness fun by turning it into a game.   One of the mini-games demonstrated, Piano Step, involves you dancing atop piano keys, pressing them with your keys, hitting notes in a fashion similar to the Guitar Hero games.   Another mini-game involved doing push-ups, while the image on-screen showed the two competing players with elephants, tanks and whales on their backs.
