Actually, just like aerobics or calestenics, it's harder than it looks. Try spinning a hula hoop for a half hour. It's a workout.
The point is you're exercising without focussing on the fact you're working out. You're having fun (playing a game) and the exercise is the side benefit.
I play hockey (well, not in the past year, but used to a lot). When I play hockey, it's not for the workout, it's because I like to play and have fun. But I assure you it's a workout just the same. Way more fun than jogging an hour on a treadmill or stairmaster or exercise bike.
I have a gym at work I can use for free anytime I want -- but I don't. Only in part because I'm lazy, but in large part because a) it's a hassle to go there and B) it's boring and I can think of 5000 other more important or exciting things I would rather be doing.
