ORDOS, Inner Mongolia Discount New Jersey Devils Jersey , Aug. 7 (Xinhua) -- Two days to go before the quadrennial Chinese Traditional Games of Ethnic Minorities kicks off in Kangbashi, the staellite town of Ordos has become a much more lively town and the locals want to keep this kind of atmosphere as long as possible.

A futuristic town built with coal money in 2011, Kangbashi has long been the epitome of heedless city construction and the resulting housing bubble.

Four years have passed since it first earned the blighted label and the town remains busy fighting for its image.

Kangbashi residents hope that the National Ethnic Games can do for the town what the 2008 Beijing Olympics did for the country.

Changes are taking place. Various plants formed into letters and patterns to decorate the town and in the first six months of this year, more than 235,800 tourists visited Kangbashi Discount Nashville Predators Jersey , up 58.7 percent from last year.

With more than 6,000 athletes from across the country gathering here for various events like dragon boat races, wrestling and crossbow shooting, the Ethnic Games will bring a great deal of media coverage.

"I think it is a chance for people outside Kangbashi to see for themselve what my home really is. Most residents here lead a comfortable life," said volunteer Yan Anni who just graduated from high school here.

Wang Mingxi Discount Montreal Canadiens Jersey , 70, has lived in Kangbashi all his life and witnessed a desert area just a decade ago turned into a futuristic town built with coal money.

"Kangbashi is not a 'ghost town'. It has become greener and has broad roads and new buildings. I am fine here," said Wang.

Kangbashi currently has a population of 100,000, with a growing number of young people attracted by the low price of housing. An apartment in Kangbashi costs around 4 Discount Minnesota Wild Jersey ,000 yuan (654 USD) per square meter, compared with 7,000 yuan in Ordos.

A new shopping center will be built in downtown Kangbashi, with a 3D photo exhibition and state-of-the-art theaters to attract the young.

Many people think that video games are not a healthy recreational hobby for children, or anyone for that matter. Video games are associated with television binging and being a couch potato. Being sedentary is not a healthy lifestyle. However Discount Los Angeles Kings Jersey , the gaming and video game console scene is changing and incorporating a much larger measure of physical activity and exertion more than ever before. Let us consider some gaming examples that support the statement that video gaming is not a couch potato sport anymore. Yes, there is an uprising in the making. The twenty first century has spawned a new wave of gaming concepts. Physical activity and video games are merging, thus making it a bit more appealing to those who are aware and conscious of their health.

Movement and Video Games

There exists certain video games that require more than sitting down and pressing buttons with your hands while your eyes are fastened tight to the television screen. It is becoming a trend these days for children to become couch potatoes. These children stay at home a lot and sit for hours in front of the television or computer. However, because of the stressing of the importance of physical exercise, gaming has been slowly being reinvented with exercise in mind.

For instance Discount Florida Panthers Jersey , take the video game Dance Dance Revolution. This video game requires a complimenting dance pad where players are required to jump and move and land on certain parts of the dance pad according to what the directions are on the screen to get points to win. This game requires constant motion and movement, so players are not sitting down but rather they are getting some physical activity.

To add to this, the Nintendo Wii uses sensory technology and incorporates it into their new concept of video gaming. All video games require motion and reenactment on the part of the players, and therefore these players are also constantly in motion.

Although just playing video games that require physical movement is not enough to keep a person healthy, it is a great step towards making exercise fun Discount Edmonton Oilers Jersey , and curing the debilitating couch potato disease. In a way, video games that require movement is a really great disguise for physical exertion and a great way to get your kids to be a little more active than usual. And it is not just for kids, because although many adults will not admit it, they enjoy video games just as much, if not more Discount Detroit Red Wings Jersey , than kids. So take a small but focused step towards getting yourself healthy and substitute your traditional couch potato gaming for video games that require movement.
