When I was growing up, video games held NO appeal, at least to my girlfriends and I, who were the “sporty girls” in school. For the boys at my junior high school though, Pac man & Donkey Kong kept them busy through many a lunch hour at the local arcade! Besides the exercise involved in actually WALKING to the nearby “Happy Pop” store to play, not much fitness was gained. That was sometime back in the 80‘s...Can today’s video games offer playing time with fitness combined? The short answer is YES.
The long answer requires some explanation of HOW you could use a fun tool like Wii Fit to help you achieve your fitness goals. As with other types of exercise- to build fitness, you need enough intensity (or challenge), for enough time on a regular basis (3-5 times a week at least) to get fit.
