The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater High Point, in North Carolina is committed to enabling all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens. If joining the Boys & Girls Club of Greater High Point, you can expect to focus on things like academic success, good character and citizenship, and healthy lifestyles.
The BGC of High Point has a rich 25 year history in the community, but only recently was finally able to open their first brick and mortar location! Exergame was lucky enough to be part of this new facility opening and we headed out to try and capture the magic of kids enjoying fitness.
Exergaming, or exercise gaming, offers several benefits that make it a great fitness tool for Boys and Girls Clubs:
1. Engagement and Motivation:
Exergaming combines physical activity with interactive gameplay, making it more engaging and fun for children and teenagers. This can increase motivation and help them stay committed to their fitness routines.
2. Improved Physical Fitness:
Exergaming often involves activities that require movement, such as dancing, sports simulations, or virtual reality fitness challenges. Regular participation can lead to improvements in cardiovascular fitness, coordination, balance, and overall physical health.
3. Inclusivity:
Exergaming can be adapted to accommodate different fitness levels and abilities. This inclusivity is beneficial for children with varying levels of athleticism or those who may feel intimidated by traditional forms of exercise.
4. Social Interaction:
Many exergames support multiplayer modes or encourage group participation. This promotes social interaction, teamwork, and friendly competition among club members, fostering a sense of camaraderie and support.
We are so thankful to the CEO Floyd Johnson on his support of Exergame at the new club. Floyd got to experience the benefits of some Exergame Mobile equipment over the years, but now gets to enjoy a space for all ages!
