There's been a time when video games were only making our fingers do exercise. But the other day,when I looked at all the different choices of games we have, I realized that playing a video game can bring you so much further now. And what if I was really doing the character's movements? And what if I could do exercise and even lose weight while having fun playing on my favorite platform? That's why I came to ask myself : would I be able to get or stay in good shape by playing video games?
From my part,I've tried Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) and the Wii Sports but I also heard about the Wii Fit and the Nintendo DS My Weight Loss Coach (sorry if there are any that I forgot to mention).

I don't see why not
It looks like a really good way to get in shape. I think it's always
a good idea to walk or swim along with your exercise routine but.. this does look sa-weeeet.
The chick dancing along while her man is up on the wii fit cracked me up
1I think Wii Fit really helps. I've lost 12 lbs. since I got mine.

2I think it would help at least.. not sure if it would be maintainable since there aren't a lot of different exercises. But if they keep coming out with more, it should be good!
3It would definitely help for people who do want to get in good shape but have no guts on doing traditional workouts .
4I've been able to get in good shape by playe DDR for quite a while. For about six months, I was dancing on my pad without even thinking about the idea of losing weight or getting in good shape. But it didn't last. I didn't like to play alone also but didn't have place enough to put another pad. Also, I found playing with another person and waiting till his/her turn is over really annoying (considering the fact that I was having fun only when the exercise was getting harder).
But I've been to video games events and tried the "Two Players" option a and then really enjoyed playing with other people. So I guess I should try another kind of game to play at home. Did anybody try or heard about the Nintendo DS My Weight Loss Coach?
