Obesity

This is a study over video games and obesity, this time it's a positive correlation. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2005-04-02-obesity-video-game_x.htm It talks about a child who struggles to play sports and has a rough time in general. He changed his diet one week and lost 10 pounds, played an interactive video game called Dance Dance Revolution and lost another 10 pounds. The study is being done by a group called PEIA, Public Employees Insurance Agency. And on top of helping children become healthy, they are looking to install the video game package into many schools for use during physical education class and in the hopes the children will want their parents to get the game for them. It's an interesting concept, and though i'm skeptical i'm sure the game does do some good.

The funny part about this game is that it only sells for $60 including the dance pad. And along with the normal dance feature there is a cardio feature that will track how many calories the dancer has lost during the dance. How can Bowflex compete with this??
