That's the fault of the BMI. What happens when a kid goes to get a checkup at the Doctors? They're going to tell you are overweight based on the BMI. The BMI needs to change not the game.

Kids are lucky to work out on something fun like this, and have a father who doesn't like what the machine says about his daughter.
When I was a boy, my father used to get behind the wheel of a panzer tank, run it at me full speed, and the only thing I could do is stop it with my bare hands.
