Physical fitness can be fun

I was joking awhile back that I'm somehow a sportsman because I sometimes play video games (rarely, but whatever). Part of my reasoning was that it involved competition even if it doesn't involve physical activity. Boy was I wrong. Apparently you do get fit the more you play. Check out these numbers from the May 2007 issue of Wired:

If you spend 1.5 hours weightlifting, you burn 842 calories.
If you spend 1 hour doing Dance Dance Revolution, you burn 900 calories.

If you spend 30 minutes doing aerobics, you burn 242 calories.
If you spend 30 minutes on Wii Boxing, you burn 250 calories.

If you spend 20 minutes jogging, you burn 198 calories.
If you just sit on the couch and play PS3/Xbox for 1 hour, you burn 204 calories.

If you spend 15 minutes having sex, you burn 33 calories.
If you spend 7 minutes playing Wii Tennis, you burn 46 calories.

These calories that you lose playing video games are probably dependent on you not swigging beer and overdosing on nachos. Still, it's friggin' physical fitness through video games! What's to complain about?

In fact, I think I'll change my personal daily exercise routine to one hour playing Xbox and five hours having sex, then pretend like I lifted weights for 1.5 hours.

What? You don't even think that's possible? Hey, I'm Mr. Stamina. I can play Xbox for at least two- three hours, no problem.
