Modern technologies allow us to train and have fun at the same time. And if earlier, playing sports required mandatory visits to the gym or stadium, today you can stay at home and achieve excellent results, playing video games. And all this became possible thanks to the gaming industry, which offers solutions for physical activity directly using prefixes.

For lovers of PlayStation 3, a great option would be to use the Move system, which allows you to track body movements. With the help of controllers with backlight and a motion connected to the prefix, you can manage the game and simultaneously train various muscle groups. Programs such as My Fitness Coach Club allow you to engage in yoga, cardio and even develop a personal weight loss program based on the individual user parameters. And in more active games, such as Move fitness, you can catch balls, throw them into a basket or even fight with virtual bricks, training coordination and strength.

Another interesting option for PlayStation 3 is the UFC Personal Trainer, which teaches combat equipment such as boxing and wrestling. These games give not only physical activity, but also the ability to improve self -defense skills. In turn, EA Sports Active 2 with a set of sensors will help control the pulse and track the results of the training through a personal page on the Internet, and in a few weeks of training you can noticeably improve the form.

But what to do if you want to relax and play lighter games? For lovers of sports entertainment, there are projects such as a festival of sports where you can play volleyball, barrel, disk-golf and other active games, or Racket Sports, where tennis and squash are available. For those who prefer calmer games, Bowling or billiards are suitable offering relaxation after a hard day.

In turn, the Xbox prefix with Kinect provides players with a unique opportunity to train without using controllers. The camera monitors body movements, which allows you to completely focus on exercises. For example, in the game Yoor Shape Fitness Evolved you can train various muscle groups and even come running with obstacles. For those who want to add a little fun to training, there is Zumba Fitness Rush, in which you can simultaneously dance and train the body, mastering dance movements.

Xbox also offers a number of dance games, such as Dance Central, where you can learn dance movements and Let’s Cheer! in which players can repeat the exercises of the chirliders. These games will help improve not only physical form, but also mood. For those who remember the old rave-sovereigns, games like Dance Evolution are ideal.

In addition, for lovers of intellectual exercises, there are games that develop mental abilities and coordination, such as DR. Kawashima's Body and Brain Exercesses. In them, you can not only check the age of your brain, but also develop concentration, which is an important element in sports.

Thus, video games have become an excellent tool for physical activity. They help to develop not only physical form, but also train mental abilities, while giving the opportunity to have fun, without leaving home.
