Gamercize USB Pedal Kills Yet Another Excuse to Not Exercise

Those of us tied to our computers all day may find that a convenient excuse to not get any exercise. Despite the fact that you have to get work done you can get some exercise without having to leave the computer. This may be bad news to some of your computer jocks out there, but a new device called Gamercize PC-Sport promises a workout while at the computer.

The device connects to your PC via USB and is basically a small stepper that can burn up to 400 calories per hour. To put it in numbers you can understand, that's enough to burn about two cans of Coke an hour. The device also includes three months of access to GZ Personal Trainer software to keep track of your workout progress and goals. The Gamercize doesn't appear to work with any games or software already on your computer so if you want a more active method of playing WoW the FPGamerunner is more what you want.
