XBox Game Helps Gamers Get In Shape, Game Contains Workout Regimens, Recipes:
If you can’t afford a personal trainer, how about a virtual fitness trainer?
A new video game called Yourself!Fitness on XBox lets you set up a personal profile and walk through a fitness evaluation.
Based on that, the virtual personal trainer, named Maya, will create a customized health and fitness plan.
There is a memory chip in the game, so Maya can change your workouts based on your progress and your commitment to the program.
She can also integrate equipment you have at home into the workouts.
Yourself!Fitness has more than 500 unique exercises. There is also customized meal planning with more than 4,000 recipes.
Yourself!Fitness from responDesign will be available on PlayStation Two in January.
… I wonder if there are any cheat codes to that game (up up down down).
This reminds me of the efforts to promote Dance Dance Revolution as a legitimate tool for weight loss & physical fitness. Hey, if it works, don’t knock it.

The irony meter jolted today, after reading about two girls-gone-wild within the historically stoic Royal Engineers regiment. The story goes something along the lines of: beer, inebriation, boobies, lap-dance, female fellatio, scones, tea and fig newtons.
When the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal broke, various pundits laughed it off saying, “boys will be boys.” So my question is, can I now empirically state that “girls will be girls?” Maybe not yet, but misogynists and chauvinists have two well-documented cases of why women should only work in the kitchen and not on the battlefield…
In any case, who is objectively hotter:
Lynndie “I-heart-dirty-greasy-unprotected-sex” England. Or the State of England, as represented in several blurred but skintitilating photos?
I should note that Jesse Ogden posits the possibility that the reason why the photos may have been blurred was because of poor dental hygiene. Though, to be fair, we have not seen Lynndie shirtless as of yet (god help us), so this may simply be a case of rotten apples and bruised oranges.
