Play and Sweat

The advent of exergaming has spurned video gamers to take an active lifestyle, where they can play and at the same time exert some physical effort and sweat! Exergaming combines the fun of playing video games with the function of an exercise. Among the games initiating this trend is the Dance Dance Revolution by Konami and Wii Fit by Nintendo. With Dance Dance Revolution, the player stomps on the pads in sync with the music to stimulate aerobic activity, while playing the Wii Fit involves the motions of doing active sports like tennis, bowling, golf, and boxing.
