There are so many opportunities to be fitter. Forget about the benefits of living longer, it’s a nice side effect, but not the objective, at least not mine. A real purpose, I feel, is not to be a burden to others and being healthier is the way to achieve that goal. Avoiding the need for help is the objective. Not all of us will succeed, an illness is an illness and we cannot avoid all illnesses. We should, however, try to avoid the avoidable. And to do this, exercise and weight control are top of the list.
My wife exercisers several days a week, walks and watches what she eats. I bought her a Wii a short while ago and she uses it in her program. Now we hear that the, seemingly advanced, Wii controller is on its way out. New game consoles will sense body movement and there will be no need for the Wii controller or any other hand held device. When they arrive, I am going to get on line.
Some of us find independent exercise very trying, but if you give us something to chase, you can run us to exhaustion and, from time to time, into the surrounding furniture. I hope the new systems will give me that option. I look forward to playing virtual tennis or squash, with a need to cover the whole court. A virtual tennis court is now in my plans. May be I can set one up on the grass outside and use a real racket. Are these systems going to be 3D?
These games could change the nation.
