Game On!

I still remember the Christmas of 2008 when my then-girlfriend, now wife, surprised me with Wii Sports. If you haven’t heard of it, Wii Sports is a video game that uses motion-sensing technology to let players physically interact by mimicking real sports movements with the Wii Remote.

The video game featured five sports: tennis, baseball, bowling, golf, and boxing. We’d stay up playing into the wee hours (pun intended), having an absolute blast. Little did we know, we were gamifying our workout.
