Abstract: A system for promoting physical activity for video game players. A video game player wears an article of footwear with a physical activity monitor or 'game pod' mounted thereon while exercising or performing some other type of physical activity. The game pod measures the amount of the player's physical activity, and records that amount in a memory. When the player desires to play a video game according to the invention, the player disengages at least the memory from the article of footwear, and then engages the memory with the computer hosting the video game through a computer interface. The computer then obtains the recorded amount of physical activity, and provides a computer function associated with the recorded amount of physical activity. The computer function may include the initiation of the video game itself, the instantiation of a specified gaming environment within the video game, the instantiation of one or more specified characteristics for the player's avatar within the video game, a lengthened playing time for the user's avatar, allowing the player to access data associated with the video game, or a combination of two or more of these functions.
