Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to gather information on how much exercising with video games (ExerGaming) can increase the physical activity among overweight and youth. This study will try to see if participating in physical activity and exercising with video games at the same time can make overweight children move around more to better their own health. The hypothesis is that those in Exergaming arm will physiological changes and increase physical activity.
