The Quest for the Perfect ExerGame

This post has been a long time in coming and has been written several times in my head. The end of March saw my teaching commitments for the current academic year come to an end. Last summer was a shortened affair due to change in the academic calendar and it has been a long haul through the winter. The upshot of this all is that I have spent the last couple of months taking some time out to pause and reflect on my progress in the “Quest for the Perfect ExerGame”. It has given me some time to think more deeply about what exactly is so special about “ExerGaming” / Active Video Game and the potential of them.

Spring came earlier this year in the form of some uncharacteristically warm weather in April which coincided with a trip to Fort William in the west of Scotland. The town happens to be located at the bottom of the highest mountain in Scotland (and the UK). The mountain is often shrouded in cloud, but as the weather was perfect I managed to get a good, clear photo.

On reflection, there is still a large mountain to climb in my quest, but at least I can see the direction that I am headed in now. There will be many challenges to face, but I am in it for the long haul. Hey, as the saying goes, “Rome wasn’t built in a day”. However an exercise revolution has well and truly been declared. Now on to drawing up a constitution….
