Fitness Gaming

     Today I read the article BVM Capital Leads Seed Round for Fitness Interactive Experience this article spoke of the latest revelation in online gaming & fitness. Wait what? Did I just say online gaming AND Fitness you bet your little round bottom I did. The BVM capital tells us that they have found a way to promote a healthy lifestyle through a fun online MMO.
     When I first started reading this article I immediately started think oh great this is just another Wii fitness board or Just Dance Game. After further reading though I started to see that this was something new. More of a program than a game. The article was all together confusing but what I got out of it was a new way to stay fit and healthy without having to go to the gym everyday.
