Exergaming Goes International

Earlier this year, I reported on NexGym—a youth fitness franchise that keeps youngsters moving through video game-inspired workouts. It turns out they're not the only players capitalizing on kids' fitness by incorporating video games. Canadian Bulldog Interactive Fitness and Colorado's XRKade are getting in on exergaming, too.

It is clear tha tht egaming generation needs to have exercise put into terms it understands and that is a avideo game I uess whatever will get them to burn calories is what counts. The innovation in all of this is that games by nature are entertaining and engaging and that is really the defining criteria ... no one ever said you need to or don't need to sweat. Seems like a case of years of pigeonholing the Game.

Hello,

I'd like to confirm your report on Bulldog and XRKade joining forces. Where did you get that info, as it's not mentioned on either of their websites. Thanks!
