My Workout Buddy
September 24th, 2007 by The Grey GhostMy DS has been a fantastic tool in getting me to the gym more often. Most of the time, I’m on the bike machine, since my knees are in bad shape. If I bring in my DS with a nice RPG plugged into it, I pass time there soooo much better. Especially with games like Final Fantasy VI, where all I have to do is walk around and level up. Only 20 random battles and suddenly my timer goes off!
In the past few years, Dance Dance Revolution has been the top gamer workout of choice. Unfortunately, I really suck at rhythm games like that. I don’t imagine all that jumping and stomping being too healthy for my knees anyway. But playing a game while doing a traditional workout? That I can do. It’s not much for cardio, but it gets me moving, breaks a sweat, and helps my knees. So if there’s any one that finds 30-60min a day to get in some game action, by golly you to can work off that fat ass at the same time!
