The Quest for the Perfect ExerGame

On the flight back to Edinburgh last night I spoke to an accountancy alumna from my the institution where I work and who knew one of my former students. We started by discussing the possibility of using points- based incentive schemes to effect behavioral change (hot topic at the moment) since she was after all a bean counter!

We soon moved on to ExerGames, which she latched onto, being an avid “Wii Fitter”. Since she was also a gym regular, I was keen to establish if she had experienced any in a gym setting. “No“, was the answer, but not being a fan of group classes, she was always on the look out for something that “KEEPS YOU MOTIVATED“.

ExerGaming – defn 2. Something that keeps you motivated.
