XBox Now Your Personal Fitness Trainer?

Analise writes "First there's the DDR Workout, and now a game developer out of Portland, OR has come up with Yourself!Fitness, a video game targeted at women and to be used on your friendly neighborhood XBox - the title 'features a computer-generated personal trainer who guides users through a customized set of exercises and diets.' The game [the original NYT article includes a small screenshot] is slated to be released this fall and the Sony Playstation version is expected to be ready by the end of the year. The game company's co-founder is quoted as saying, 'We're creating games that are good for you.'"

I actually do see a need for this sort gaming. My niece, who loves video games, is 194lbs and turned 13 this month!

I'll just have to remember to close my eyes while she is playing. Of course the sight might be like that Simpson's x-files episode where Skully is watching Homer like a lava lamp.

  That must have been one hell of a big birthday cake.
