PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 Join the Fitness Revolution

Aug. 11, 2008 - PRLog -- All of the newest games consoles can now be used to keep fit, with the GZ Pro-Sport from fitness innovators Gamercize.  Available in both mini stepper and mini cycle versions the GZ Pro-Sport enables any game on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 or PC to be an exergame.

The Gamercize mini fitness products provide genuine cardiovascular exercise, capable of burning the highest number of calories per hour out of all popular video game exercise systems.  The simple concept requires exercise to keep the game from pausing, using the distraction of playing a game to make it easy to work out for longer without giving up.

Gamercize products are designed to inspire young and old to take the first steps towards a healthier lifestyle, as well as provide a fitness top up for active people with little free time. The equipment can be used with existing or future games, ensuring sustainable use and appeal for all.

Successfully trialled in schools and health clubs in the UK, the Gamercize has proved six times more engaging than exercise alone and twice as popular as a dedicated video game racing bike.

The concept was conceived in 2004 when, now company director, Richard Coshott designed the first Gamercize for his children. They played games for only as long as they kept exercising, which proved successful in increasing their fitness and willingness to be more active in general.

The latest addition of the GZ Pro-Sport ensures Gamercize keeps ahead of the technology curve and adds to a product range selling worldwide to consumers on all continents.  When other fitness games have lost their appeal, Gamercize keeps on delivering genuine exercise for genuine games.
