Bonner Kirkland examines the role of video games within the fitness and health industry.
Bonner describes her episode:
For my individual podcast, I’m going to be discussing the role of video games within the fitness and health industry. I am not a big gamer--largely because I have always associated video games with being sedentary and physically inactive. So, in order to debunk this broad assumption I have always had about the gaming industry, I wanted to research how video games and the technology used in popular games can be used to promote health and fitness. I plan on discussing games and technological innovations such as the Peloton bikes, Wii Fit, Just Dance and Pokemon Go and interviewing people who use these games to stay active.
