Really! No wonder there is so many unfit people these days. They really need to make the time to do real exercise. Grab your tennis racket or your golf clubs maybe get on your bike turn off the TV and go outside.

They do get you fit if you keep up a schedule, it also depends on the amount of exercise you perform.
A gym is not a work out heaven, you can do it anywhere.

As for the article, no not the future but i can be part of the gaming culture.

3 - Next you'll be selling vibrating butterfly ab crunchers
The only thing you'll get from using your games console to work out is RSI. There is no secret to being healthy and in shape, you just need a balanced diet and to do interval cardio to burn off the excess.

Fitness gaming is just exploiting the fact that many gamers are couch potatoes, and some of them are self conscious enough to fall for this scam. Probably the same people with a butterfly vibrator strapped to their abs while they swallow liquid meals in a weight watchers carton.

4 - I dunno. The article references Wii-Fit alot. And I seem to remember a Miyamoto quote that says Wii-Fit isn't a fitness game.
And even so, don't be lazy. Get your ass outside and exercise. Don't be a shut-in and do it inside cause that's just lame. I play alot of games, but I also go to 24 fitness 3 times a week as well.

8 - Simple answer.......
For free -every other day run down your local roads (circular circiut) until you get back home again, make your run last 20-30 minutes (or less if unfit and work up to that).

When you get home enjoy a proper gaming experience relaxing on the couch for an hour or two.

Rinse and repeat for about 3 months = fit person playing proper games.
