Obesity is Growing!


Dr. Ernie Medina“Exergaming Evangelist”

"We believe the time is now to be proactive with one’s

healthcare – as it’s no secret that Americans are gaining

weight despite the latest in medical research and technology.

Sadly, the most sobering prediction by health professionals is that

this generation of kids is the first generation predicted to die

before their parents.

The combination of growing weight, living longer, and


The combination of growing weight, living longer, and

decreasing workforce is being called the "perfect storm"

that is predicted to wreak havoc on our healthcare and

financial systems. Ironically, the very "enemy" that is often

blamed for being a major factor in the obesity epidemic is

now being used to help in this fight: video games.

Video games are being used to get kids and adults moving

more. This latest intervention is called “Exergaming" because it

combines exercise with playing entertaining virtual reality games

featuring the latest in video and computer technology."

“30% of school kids in this country are overweight or obese. As a

PE teacher for over 35 years, I used to think video games were the

enemy…but when I started using “Exergaming” equipment with

my students (over 10 years ago), I recognized the time had come

to embrace video games and understand we could use

“Exergaming” as a great tool to motivate all the couch potato kids

to get up and exercise. It works and the kids are having fun!”

Richard Coshott“Gamercize CEO”

“Video games are a growing part of modern day lives. With

95% of young people playing games and the average age of the

game player now over 35 this technology is not going away. The

smart thing to do is work with games for exercise instead of

against them.

Video gaming has accrued approximately 100 million years of play

in the last 5 years. Exergaming is the natural path of evolution


in the last 5 years. Exergaming is the natural path of evolution

that has started with the Nintendo Wii. From these humble

beginnings more exercise and better games are being combined,

expanding into Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 with our latest

exergaming technology.

I have personally seen Exergames adopted across the globe by

teachers, fitness professionals and individuals as a way to make

exercise fun and sustainable. What’s more I have seen it working

in helping people be more active, loose weight and improve

fitness. Exergaming is a huge element in the future wellbeing of

the population.”
