Today we played video games such as DDR, Wii, and Wii olympic games. I think that these activities are definitely made for fun more than the workout itself. I do think that these games are better than the traditional games to get kids up and moving and they also help with coordination and cognitive thinking, however, I don't think that we can honestly call them a workout. I did not get my heart rate into my "zone" at all, and I barely broke a sweat so I don't technically think you could call this type of activity a exercise. I think that of the three, DDR got my heart rate moving the fastest and made me think the most. The other two games don't get you moving long enough before you have to stop and read more directions.
