Digital Smarts - Games, Apps and Fitness

Experts from the American Council on Exercise say games and apps, even those that may not be fitness-focused, can be incorporated in long-term workout regimens. A recent article titled How to Gamify Your Fitness Routine on the US News and World Report Wellness site proposes that apps make fitness more fun, provide incentives to be active, and make exercising more social. They recommend using games or apps that gradually increase the intensity of your workout and urge users to look for variety to keep the physical activity enjoyable.
