ECA introduces the Gamers for Health program

It might be a stereotype, but folks tend to think of gamers as an unhealthy bunch that don’t get enough exercise, though Nintendo would probably disagree with that. Now the Entertainment Consumers Association (ECA) wants to help out too as it has put together an initiative dubbed Gamers for Health, aimed to provide ECA members and the gaming community with the tools and resources necessary to help incorporate gaming activities into healthy lifestyles.

The program will allow ECA members to create a profile and list their daily exercise activities, sharing goals and tips with other users. It’s not a bad idea, probably similar to a virtual gym buddy. Of course, it would be a lot nicer if everybody just got free Wii Fits, right?
