With the GamerCycle, you want your child to play video games and watch TV often. The GamerCycle fitness system turns completely sedentary time into 100% physical activity.

Do you ever wonder why your kids dont play outside all day or go out and jump on their bikes first thing in the morning? Are you a parent that has children that are inactive and stuck to their television sets and Play Stations or XBOX all day? Do you wish your children were getting sufficient exercise on a daily basis and were not stuck to their television sets all day? Then the GamerCycle fitness system is the solution to all your questions and worries. The GamerCycle is a fitness system that turns completely sedentary time into 100% physical activity. It’s true! It’s an exercise bike that hooks up to your TV, Play Station and X Box! How does the exercise bike help children playing video games or watching TV all day? In order for your child to keep playing their video games or watching TV, they need to keep pedaling. You stop pedaling and the TV or video game will turn off. It’s that simple! Before I go into detail and tell you more about the GamerCycle and its popularity with parents and children today, let me fill you in on a few cultural trends regarding video games and children.

The quality and graphics of video games are getting better and better, so its likely that kid’s passion for playing them will only increase. It is very unlikely children will stop playing video games today!

Recently there have been several cultural trends that are becoming a contributing factor to video game popularity. Physical activities such as soccer, baseball and gymnastics tend to be structured and time–bound. This means children have plenty of free time to play. Parents are becoming less comfortable allowing their kids to play outside or ride their bikes. This means with less, activities to hold their attention for so long, kids are turning to video games, especially on rainy days where kids can’t go out and play. Recent studies show that many video games have positive mental and hand eye coordination benefits. But we’ve also heard that its unhealthy for children to spend a 1/3 of their day playing video games and watching TV. So what can we do? This is where the GamerCycle fitness system comes in.

Cycling which uses the largest muscle groups in our bodies is one of the most popular and effective forms of Exercise. It provides a good caloric burn while upping one’s metabolic rate.

Exercise is best when it can be made fun so that it doesn't become something children rebel against and dread. The GamerCycle was designed with this concept in mind. The fitness exercise machine does not interfere with the actual playing of the video game - the player is mentally focused on the game while his or her body gets the exercise it needs. Kids will sometimes play video games for hours on end, so the GamerCycle is designed to be very ergonomic and comfortable, allowing countess hours of play. Finally, cycling is one of the most popular and effective forms of exercise. Cycling uses the largest muscle groups in our bodies, thereby providing a good caloric burn while upping ones metabolic rate. So rather than having video play time become a constant child and parent battleground, parents and children start to understand each other and get along. Children appreciate the concerns parents show for their health. They may not show it, but they do want us to protect them, guide them and make them do things they don’t want to do.

The GamerCycle Fitness Machine works with DVD Players, VCRs, TVs and all game consoles such as XBOX, Play Station, Game Cube, etc….

So how does the GamerCycle work? Simple. The bike hooks up to your game console, DVD, VCR or TV through an extra long 18-foot video cable. This means the GamerCycle fitness machine can be placed up to 18’ away from the TV. The dual-purpose bike works as a video bike or just a regular exercise bike. It does not interrupt the power to the game console or TV. Instead it acts like a video switch so that as long as you pedal you can see the picture. The bike features a built in timer with an audible alarm, which allows family members to evenly share playtime. The bike also features a parent controlled bypass key. The bypass key allows children to watch or play video games without having to pedal. So you have the option to turn it on and off with a simple key. With a an adjustable pedal tension and a comfortable padded angled back seat children will enjoy many hours on the Gamercycle. The Gamercycle works with DVD players, VCRs, TVs and all game consoles (XBOX, Play Station, Game Cube, etc.).

Cornerstone for the young ones so they get in shape and get ready to take on soccer, swimming, or other activities.

The GamerCycle fitness system is NOT an interactive video product. You do not control the players in the game by pedaling or steering, nor does the GamerCycle interfere with the normal operation of the video games (the game, movie or TV power never shuts off). That is the beauty of the concept - robust exercise in parallel with video game fun. GamerCycle will not be the end-all and be-all for childrens health and fitness. It is a valuable addition to other existing physical activities or the cornerstone for the young ones so they get in shape and are ready to take on soccer, swimming, or other activities. Together with the GamerCycle we can beat the oncoming health problems of our childrens future. To learn more about GamerCycle, please visit Coconutz Home and Garden.
