Video Games for Exercise??

Yes it’s true!!  You can play your favorite video games all while getting exercise!! The weather lately has been crazy!  24 degrees some days, 70 degrees the next so since we can’t really predict the weather this year I’ve been thinking of some other alternatives for exercise. I personally like group exercise classes but if we are not members of a fitness center it can be really hard to find a place to exercise. So I’ve been doing some research about video games. It seems like almost everyone has a wii, xbox or play station. Well if you have these consoles you might look into some of these games.

1.) Zumba

2.) Punch-out!!

3.) Active Life: Outdoor Challenge

4.) Dance Dance Revolution

5.) Just Dance

6.) Wii Fit Plus

7.) Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip….works on your balance

8.) The Biggest Loser Challenge

9.) Nickelodeon Fit

10.) Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum

Give them a try!! You might also look at this article and see how exercising with video games is very comparable to hitting the gym!
