Anti-gravity boots

Exergaming
There’s now no excuse for gaming geeks not to be as fi t as their
outdoor-loving friends. Exergames are video games which use
virtual reality to create a gym or a sports centre in your own living
room. Popular exergames include keep fi t, yoga and aerobics.
You can jog around a virtual park, head virtual footballs and
fi ght a virtual opponent in a boxing ring. Many games give you
instant feedback on your performance, so it’s similar to having a
personal trainer. Experts believe that exergaming has led to an
increase in exercising alone at home, and one report concludes
that gym memberships have dropped by about twenty percent
since the games were introduced. However, some doctors have
suggested that exergaming is probably not as good for the body
as real exercise.
Looking good
Also known as Air Kicks, these look like ski boots but
with enormous rubber springs at the bottom. You wear
them over your trainers. You can jump, run or dance in
your boots and people have compared the feeling to
jumping on a trampoline. They’re great fun but also a
very effective way to work out. And because it doesn’t
really feel like hard work, there’s a good chance you’ll
exercise for longer too! The boots are currently pretty
expensive (about £70), but there are now more and
more places where you can hire them for a few hours.
by Karen Astona
We all know that exercise
is important, but these
days most young people
aren’t getting enough. The
average young person
spends thirty hours a
week in front of a TV – an
alarming fi gure when you
consider that researchers
at the University of
Tennessee recently found
that young people burn
fewer calories when they
watch TV than they do
when they’re asleep!
Doctors recommend that
young people should have
at least twenty minutes of
continuous exercise, three
times a week. The good
news is that there have
never been so many fun
ways in which to keep in
shape. Here are four of
our favourites.
B
Zumba
Thanks to TV shows such as
Strictly Come Dancing
,
more and more young people are taking up dancing
lessons. Tango, ballroom dancing and break-dancing
have never gone out of fashion, while new forms such
as
Zumba
, a mix
of fi tness exercises
and Latin rhythms,
have quickly
become incredibly
popular. There’s
usually a great
party atmosphere
and a lively class
can burn around
700 calories an
hour. It’s not
particularly cheap,
though – classes
cost anything
between £5 and
£30 a session.
D
Body Togs
These are weights (or togs) that you wear all day on your arms
and legs. You can wear them under your clothes, so nobody
knows you are wearing them. The idea is that the weights keep
you fi t as you do your daily activities – walking, shopping, even
sitting at home. You don’t have to join a gym or fi nd time to
exercise so it’s
perfect for people
with busy lives. The
manufacturers claim
that using Body
Togs for up to ten
hours a day is as
good for you as
a two mile run! At
present, however,
togs aren’t widely
available in the UK.
