The importance on health and fitness is becoming so important especially when it comes to ingraining it in kids, that a company has come up with a creative way to get kids interested in gyms. NexGym has created a system of Exergaming, where workout routines are combined with video game technology. Springwise reports that the programs are available for kids from 6-14 years of age. How it works is that video games are wired to the exercise machines, so the workout experience is a balance of both mental and physical. So, you can select any backdrop of a game and can fight the aliens to make it really interesting. Currently there are over 20 games available.
