Who said video games can't help you exercise? This new invention, called the Gamerunner, allows you to control how you move your character. If you walk on the Gamerunner, the character on the game will walk. If you run on the Gamerunner, you got it, you run in the game.
I think this invention is extremely innovative but it has it's downsides. First, it is only designed for First-Person perspective games that use a keyboard and mouse. That limits the amount of games you can use it for.
Also on the Gamerunner website, you can't purchase one of these yet, but when you can the estimated retail price is five hundred dollars. Translation? Not many people will be able to make use of this product, which is a shame.

There is also software that has you cycling the Tour de France. You hook it up to your wind trainer and computer and you can cycle various stages of the Tour, complete with the appropriate resistance at the different climbs.
Cadence, heart rate and wattage output are all measured.
