Gone are the days of slumping back in a lounge chair to play the latest Video Game. In fact looking at some of the latest releases it seems that video games and fitness go hand in hand.

Wii Sports from Nintendo may have helped to kick off this new fitness revolution in video games, but you can now get a lot more active in front of your TV while still having fun.

The popular dancing for fitness program Zumba is now a video game where players movements are tracked as they follow the instructor on screen. Other games to checkout to get players moving include Sports Champions on Playstation 3, Kinect Sports on XBox 360…or even The Michael Jackson experience game.
