I’ve mentioned before that I’m a fan of video games. And I’ve also talked about some of the issues I think about as a Christian gamer. But one of the other issues that stereotypically goes along with being a gaming junkie is a sedentary lifestyle. One of the weight-loss/fitness “tools” being marketed to gamers and folks in general is Nintendo’s Wii Fit. This game (if you can call it that) leads you through several exercises including pushups, situps, lunges, and running in place. It sounds like it could be useful, and I’ve heard it’s being utilized by some hospitals to aid in patients’ physical therapy. That’s good I guess. But really, when you get down to it, is this really exercise? Take a look at this little bit of satire, feel free to have a laugh, and let me know what you think.
