Exergaming or exer-gaming (a portmanteau of "exercise" (moving the body) and "gaming")[1] is a word used for video games that are also a form of exercise.[2] Exergaming is based upon technology that records body movement. The game type has been credited with promoting an active lifestyle.[3][4] Exergames are seen as coming from technology changes with the purpose of making videogames more fun.[5]

1. Choose Your Platform

Exergames are available on various platforms, including consoles, smartphones, and virtual reality systems. Popular console options include Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation, while smartphone users can find countless exergaming apps on both Android and iOS. Virtual reality systems like Oculus Quest and PlayStation VR also offer immersive exergaming experiences.

2. Select Your Games

Once you've chosen your platform, explore the available exergames to find ones that appeal to you. Consider your fitness goals, interests, and preferred intensity level when making your selection.

3. Set Up Your Space

Ensure you have enough space to move comfortably during your workouts. For console-based exergames, you may need a TV, a gaming console, and potentially additional accessories like motion controllers or a gaming mat. Smartphone-based exergames often require just your phone and a comfortable area to move in, while VR exergaming will need a VR headset and adequate room to move without obstacles.

4. Start Slow and Progress Gradually

Like any new workout routine, it's crucial to start slow and progress gradually. Begin with lower-intensity workouts and shorter sessions, then increase the difficulty and duration as you become more comfortable and build endurance.
