Simply put, a video game that encourages the player to actually exercise.
The goal isn't usually to complete the game so much as to get in shape.
Although the idea became successful with the Wii and its Wii Fit, it's been around longer than that. See this article from The Other Wiki.
Compare Casual Video Game, Sports Game, Rhythm Game, Edutainment Game.

Ingress is a GPS-based game in which you visit real-world locations to access portals. The intent is for players to walk to the portals, as the personal stats screen shows the amount of distance you have walked while playing, although some players play in a vehicle (preferably as a passenger, as driving and playing Ingress at the same time can be dangerous).

Pokémon GO is built off of the same platform as Ingress, even sharing locations with in-game points of interest. In particular, hatching eggs involves walking anywhere from 2 to 10 kilometers (and it won't work if you're moving at vehicle speed).

Wii Sports and the sequel Wii Sports Resort serve to demonstrate the capabilities of motion controls, ending up the biggest sellers on the system. And they do so by applying motion controls to the concept of practicing sports.

Punch-Out!!: While the Arcade, NES, and SNES versions have you simply pressing buttons figuring out how to defeat your opponents, the Wii version with its quick-moving motion controls is sure to exhaust most non-athletic players.

Although mostly incidental, DanceDanceRevolution is considered to give a very good workout. Some editions even have a calorie counter.
