I’m being featured *LIVE* on my first internet radio show! Host, fitness instructor, and self-proclaimed “Goddess of Virtual Fitness” Raina (aka Penda) will be broadcasting the interview. Our topic will be about fitness and technology, exergames and the Nintendo Wii. Where we go from there… well, it’ll be in the hands of the callers…
Show aired at 6 AM (Arizona, PST). If you missed it, you can listen to it here! (Okay, so I said a lot of ‘uhms’ and ‘aahs’ but I blamed that on the early start time - LOL!)
UPDATE: It’s nice to know others out there are promoting exergames within the fitness industry. A lot of times we hear exergaming being used in kid-fitness classes or physical education courses. Commercial fitness industry still is a bit resistant to adopting exergaming as a format in group exercise. And Penda is a big advocate for exergaming (which she calls ‘virtual fitness’) and spends time demonstrating the benefits of the Wii to her colleagues. I really enjoyed our conversation! Thanks, Penda!
