In PewDiePie's latest video, the gamer/YouTube sensation had to "GET IN SHAPE!" with the Shape Up, a new Kinect game from Xbox One.

Shape Up is Xbox's way of tricking gamers into getting off the couch. The Kinect virtually places the player inside a minefield of digital acrobatic obstacles, and PewDiePie had a major case of the struggles.

The demo is five minutes long, and runs through a few of the different workout options available on the game.

PewDiePies first fitness game was to "dodge, jump and crouch while running as fast as possible." Pewds found himself on top of a moving locomotive, ducking beneath overpasses and dodging vertical obstacles.

"I really need to play this game, like every day, to get in shape," he said between panting. Dodging proved too difficult, as Pewds butt is just too big, and sadly, he did not win the round.

Next, he rolled it out in a Derby Skate challenge. Paired with a personal trainer, PewDiePie had to follow the trainers lead in an intense cardio workout. "Yes, I was born to do this!" he shouted.

Squat Me To The Moon was an intense squatting challenge, where PewDiePie found himself on top of a pedestal, rocketing himself through space. "I'll do this just because I want an ass like Nicki Minaj," he said.

The game gives small breaks, where Pewds sprouted majestic, golden phoenix-like wings, and floated through space, blasting space junk to bits. It was awesome.

Lastly, PewDiePie found himself on the top of a mountain, where another round of intense cardio left him completely f***ing done.

While Shape Up is no easy fete, PewDiePie enjoyed himself. "Surprisingly enough, I actually had fun working out," he said. "It's a really cool game, I definitely think you bros should check it out."
