New Technology to beat the Fitness Crunch

Posted by Dekko on Mar 10th 2009 18:45

"Hark! Put down they rancid burger and relinquish thine controller of games devices so that all the pretty children may skip once again!"

Or so the government will shout at you (unless you're a wealthy games developer, in which case "Hello & welcome, keep up the good work!").

So we have to do something now to stop all our children developing into Jabba the Hutt impersonators? OK, well a brave & adventrous company known as Gamercize has the answer & that answer comes in the shape of the GZ Family Fit.

Please, feel free to read their press release & marvel at the simple pleasures that life can bring you if only you look. Why not buy one for the kiddies or that plump fellow at work who always uses his Homer Simpson figure to clean his ears?

What's wrong with keeping fit why you game? Good idea; right?

This is what they have to say on the subject:

"A typical family of Londoners, following government physical activity guidelines, will pay £4,476 in travel, fees and equipment to stay healthy.

Going to the park is the cheapest activity while cycling, swimming, health clubs and fitness classes add the necessary variety to a busy schedule of moderate intensity activities.

If families do not pay up they could be risking their own children’s health. 9 Out of 10 children are predicted to grow up with dangerous amounts of fat in their bodies. Fat that can cause life-threatening diseases like cancer, type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Busy modern lifestyles combined with the current economic climate have led to the Fitness Crunch, were families do not have the time or the money to be active enough. Technology, despite causing part of the lifestyle problem, is now rising to the challenge of the Fitness Crunch through exergaming company Gamercize.

Gamercize is a new kind of fitness technology that uses the power of video games to keep exercise interesting; by adding exercise to existing games. This week Gamercize has announced the new 3 in 1 GZ Family Fit home exercise machine that meets the required activity guidelines for everyone with convenience and fun.

GZ Family Fit - 3 in 1 fitness home machine - Rower, Cycle, Gamercize

The GZ Family Fit connects to a Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 to keep your mind off the exercise effort as you play top video games. You have to keep moving to keep the game playing, stop and it will freeze you out until you start exercising again.

Not all members of the family play video games so the GZ Family Fit can be used for non-interactive traditional fitness too. With the combination of rowing and cycling functions, you can choose to read a book while comfortably cycling or watch the news with a rowing workout.

The GZ Family Fit easily folds away taking up less space than one stationary exercise bike and costs a fraction of the traditional route to active living with a price of just £699.90, available from http://www.gamercize.net"
