Lose Weight with Video Games
August 26, 2009
If you have been a fan of video games and can spend hours with your console this write up might be of great interest and use to you. A bless to people who want to lose weight and love video games is the new age video game like Wii Fit and EA Active. These have been designed to keep you fit and active, while having lots of fun.
Video workouts have come a long way, for a really long time group workouts were done with help of DVDs and videos. These workouts are great for your fitness and health but the problem is that they tend to get monotonous at times and people skip working out once they get bored. Workouts were also available then by pay per view or on demand TV; these do turn out to be expensive. Now technology has become so advanced that you can work out while playing a video game, and have lots of fun.
Video games now are a new and improved way to stay fit and healthy.
A great example if the Dance, Dance Revolution, which has become really popular. There isn’t any option available that you play this game sitting or standing still. The only way you win is when you get the maximum dance moves right, this game is highly addictive as well.
Talking about WiiFit, it is really simple to use, with simple graphics; but it works because it is effective and really fun to play. Though it is really expensive but is an investment worth every penny. You can spend hours at a stretch playing golf, tennis or bowling. You stay active, burn calories but don’t realise that this is an exercise session. In this at times you have to mimic the activity going on the screen. Wii Fit comes with a whole range of accessories where you can do your strength training, cardio workout or yoga. It also has an interactive channel where you monitor your weight and BMI.
My Weight loss Coach isn’t actually a video game, but it is a great way to monitor your diet and exercise.
EA Active is the new thing on the block and is expected to shock its predecessor. The exercise regimes are highly intense and it comes with a Virtual trainer who is equipped to guide you whenever you slip. You have a Thirty Day Challenge alternative where you get a new workout every month and the intensity of these workouts rises slowly.
