We recently asked whether people prefer the Wii Fit over the gym – although the Wii Fit won the vote, there was lots of debate. You may be asking: What does Exergaming mean? Exergaming means the marriage of physical exercise with video gaming. And although it wasn’;t coined yesterday, it’s definitely increasing in mass appeal
This year CES featured several exergaming newbies who showcased their latest creations at the Cardio Play Zone. Attendees were really working up a sweat on the advanced workout contraptions. But these are still very expensive. The more affordable choices like the Wii Fit, the Sony Playstation and the Xbox have several exercise games that people are choosing to use versus frequent gym visits.
The question now becomes, can these games replace good old fashion exercise? I do think that exergaming has its place. It’s a fun way to introduce activity into many people’s currently sedentary lives, many of whom already enjoy playing video games for hours on end. It’s also convenient and alleviates the pressure of the gym atmosphere. Personally, I prefer the outdoors. But its an easier option for me since I live in Southern California where the sunshine is plentiful and the climate is comfortable. Technology has impacted our lives in so many positive ways, but it’s still important to embrace the outdoors when possible and connect with our own rhythms through exercise. Whether that is cycling, running, playing basketball or soccer or something else, these activities give us time to think things through, to sharpen our motor skills and if it’s a team sport, develop camaraderie. These qualities are all very important for our overall well being.

There are tons of mp3 players on the market these days, although for me, it is all about my Apple iPod. I will be fair and run down the top 5 mp3 players on the market and hook you up with some of my favorite playlists. But first, here is the story…
It all started back in 2005 when I graduated from college. One of my graduation gifts was an iPod mini. I happily used my iPod mini for just about everything. I enjoy working out and nothing is more effective than cranking tunes to get the most out of an exercise session. I also bought an adapter so I could listen to my favorite music while driving. And I would have been lost without my iPod mini while traveling, especially on the trip I took to Europe for 3 months. Eventually, my iPod mini had enough and died after 4 years. That is when I bought my Apple iPod nano. I was not messing around this time, I purchased 16 GB of listening pleasure, as my mini only had 4 GB and I was desperately adding and deleting music to accommodate its limited capacity. I would be truly lost without music!
I listen to a lot of different genres, but here are two of my favorite playlists at the moment, as they often change and evolve… as for now, check ‘em out!
