XRKade Video Game Gym For Tween and Teen Fatties

We have all heard the stories about childhood obesity and how parents often blame the problem on distractions like television and video games. However, Denver-based iTech Fitness aims to turn those distractions into solutions with their new line of XRKade gyms for kids.

XRKades mix physical activity and video games to make exercising more fun and engaging. In order to achieve this, they utilize activities like climbing walls, recumbent bicycles, DDR machines, snowboard simulators, and padded obstacle courses.

After witnessing the success of the Wii and the potential that physically immersive gaming has for fitness, this idea seems like a no-brainer to me. So parents will soon have to look for another scapegoat to cover up their negligence. � Sean Fallon
