Recently featured in the Destination Guide on Secondlife.com, the "Avatar Fitness Club" strives to help you lose weight in your real life by working out in your second. eXtension, the organization that started the club, claim that getting into a work out schedule with your avatar will help motivate you to do so also.
"Research indicates that exercising your avatar regularly may help you to improve your own physical fitness. Join the club and try the cycles, treadmills, yoga, climbing wall, swimming pool, aerobics, lounge with ping pong. "While browsing the web for information to back up their theory, I did stumble across an article about how video gaming may actually help improve your weight. When you are busy playing on the game you are less likely to reach for your snacks or to feel hungry. This works for other hobbies as well such as gardening, swimming or sewing. Anything to keep your hands and mind busy and away from the twinkies!
In my opinion, it's worth a shot. Taking a few minutes out of your day to log onto the computer and visit a virtual gym sounds a lot simpler (and cheaper) than most diets on the market today. Has anyone else had any success with a workout routine in Second Life?
