Cardiovascular
•    Dance Mania: Listen to music and follow along with different dance moves. Record your heart rate after you play. 
 
•    Match My Moves: Players capture images of their own bodies in action and follow the poses they’ve set through a sequence of quick movements, testing their endurance and raising their heart rate.
 
•    Light Chase: Race around an interactive game board, while increasing your speed and raising your heart rate.
 
•    Jump It Up: Get your heart pumping as you jump over a glowing, virtual rope, which gets faster and faster the more you jump!
 
•    Blast Off: Crank hand pedals as fast as you can to race flying superheroes across the exhibit.
 
•   Adventure Course: Run through a course of climbing and crawling activities along padded, sloping surfaces!  Slap each hand whacker along the way and record the level you achieve.
 
•    Power Tower: Climb, jump and leap your way through the Power Tower, a three-story climbing structure in the middle of Power Play.
 

•    Groove ‘n Move Studio: Take a lesson and learn all the moves as you dance to salsa, hip-hop, tejano or swing music.
