Exergaming: The Gaming Exercise PhenomenonExergaming is the act of playing video games that also serve as exercise. There are tons of games on the market that both encourage exercise, and promote using the game each day to lose weight. One of the biggest exergaming games on the market is DDR, or dance dance revolution. You stomp and jump on the arrows to complete the song, but doing so burns upwards of 10 calories per minute. Many teenagers and even adults have lost a lot of weight by playing DDR. It involves a wide range of difficulty too, from beginner to challenge. There is something for everyone. Workout mode makes it easier to play and burn too! Other exergaming games include Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort (which releases on July 30th), and tons of DS titles. One game for the DS even comes with a pedometer to challenge you and encourage you to continue walking or running to obtain the desired amount of steps each day! There has been speculation on whether or not these games work for weight loss, but the truth is, they really do! Each game has its benefits, but all of them encourage activity – which can help those unfamiliar with exercise get into the habit of doing exercises the right way. Wii Fit for example, helps the user by showing on screen instructions with a virtual trainer. New games are being released often, and include specialized plans for your weight loss. The virtual trainers are able to help you pick goals and even set up workout routines to do each day! It’s an incredible way to get fit, without spending tons on a gym membership or personal trainers. If you have space in your living room, then you can benefit from the exergaming options on the market. No one said that exercise had to be boring and dull. Exergaming interests children and adults of all ages. You can get excited about exercising and challenging your body, all it takes is a simple game and a desire to lose weight! Whether its strength training or cardio, gaming for exercise is a brilliant want to have fun and avoid the boredom that ensues after a long time of exercising. These games also burn a lot more calories than some traditional exercises! You end up moving more frequently and trying the game again and again until you get it right. That results in a higher amount burned, thus more weight lost over the course of time. Benefits of exergaming in a nutshell: • Its fun for anyone. |
