Fitness is not a game, people! Now we're having fun with our consoles by keeping fit... or are we. Let's go running and watch counters on the screen! No, let's not. Ok, let's go biking!! What, in a game where you don't actually travel anywhere - no thanks! I think there's a place for fitness games, the ones that offer virtual workouts and electronic exercise programs. That place would be on the shelf, next to the exercise DVD, covering up the exercise videos behind. If you are workout... Read Full Story

  Exergaming, or active gaming, is still a very new concept to mainstream media and within the public knowledge.

The whole purpose of exergaming is... Read Full Story

12 Months of change for active gaming! I keep a close eye on the fitness industry, the video game industry and an even closer eye on the emerging exergame industry. To create and run a company like Gamercize forward thinking is a must, but the worst aspect of being ahead of the game is there are very few people on the same page! Luckily those few are great people to share ideas and discuss exergaming. For those that follow exergaming, I've put these predictions together to give up the head... Read Full Story

Some experts claim it can’t do a whole lot, while others say with a balanced diet can provide the needed exercise for a healthy lifestyle. MLB pitcher Heath Bell says you can. Bell credits the Wii Fit for losing 25 pounds. The San Diego Padre closer went on ESPN’s First Take yesterday to explain how he was able to get in shape during the off season. Bell also plays some Mario Kart: Wii, MLB Power Pros, and Guitar Hero with the kids. Now that’s my kind of guy. Listen to what Heath Bell... Read Full Story

Active games have a fun element, but that depends on what you call fun. You may think that all exergames or active games are pretty much the same. You put a disc in your console and off you go, happy, busy, good. Well, it's not quite that simple. There are different types of exergames, and within these types there's quality and disasters. I like to think this time in exergaming's history has similarities with the great Video Games Crash of the early 80's. I have always approached exergaming... Read Full Story

Active Gaming Consumers Still Being Mislead. I have read Canada's Globe and Mail ever since we were awarded the prestigious accolade of " Most Evil Gadget " back in 2007 and I tend to pick up quite a few exergaming stories from them. The news that a new 5 year study into exergaming is talking place in Calgary is very welcome although, from experience, there needs to be sustainable exergames in the research! Luckily the Positive Gaming iDANCE (although referred to as Dance Dance Revolution in... Read Full Story
