Kerin Donnelly of Weymouth was sore the next morning from "snowboarding" for two hours - indoors.
It may not win any fresh air awards, but "exergaming" is a way to mobilize couch-prone video-game players. And with Massachusetts determined to trim its 16 percent adolescent obesity rate, any movement may help.
At a new "interactive fitness arcade" at the Weymouth Club, kids exergame full throttle. From scaling rock walls to gliding through an on-screen half pipe on a snowboard, they boost their heart rates and break a sweat in the virtual world.
