7 Fitness video games: The best PS4, Xbox, Switch games to lose weight with and have fun (Pic: Ubisoft)

It turns out that you can game and still stay in shape. The obvious way to do this is to do push-ups every time you die in Sekiro.

Then laugh maniacally as you snap your controller in two.

The less obvious way to do this is to invest in some bonafide fitness games.

Yes, games actually designed to make you healthy exist, and they're pretty damn good.

So, in order to help assist you in this geeky fitness journey, here are some games worth getting off the sofa for.

Nintendo Switch – Try these:

1. Just Dance 2019

Just Dance isn't just the best intro to a E3 press confernce, but also a pretty damn fine game, by yourself or with friends. It also gets you up and embarrassing yourself, uh, I mean moving. With a huge selection of songs to dad dance to and a wide array of cool and funky fresh moves to make, how could you not want to play this lit game?

It is a truly great game for working out at home and should be very high on your list.

PS4 or PSVR – Try these:

4. VirZOOM

This comes with a full-sized exercise bike. I mean, that probably says enough about the level of commitment this game demands from you. If you really want to sink some money in and get the most out of a game, then this is the one for you.

5. Creed Rise to Glory
