ANOTHER HEADLINE WE ADMIRE… —- by Steve Nadis
Glad to hear that the folks at the University of Michigan Health System are earning their keep, as is abundantly evident from the press release they issued earlier this month (March 3, 2008): “Virtual Gaming No Replacement for Real Exercise.” A brief summary of that press release follows: “Video games like Wii Sports and Dance Dance Revolution can play an important role in getting kids off the couch and involved in physical activity. But U-M fitness experts say they are not a replacement for traditional exercise…”
Does that mean we actually have to do some exercise to gain true fitness benefits? Does that mean I can’t burn calories while lying on the couch, stuffing my face with junk food? Bummer!
