High Tech Exercise?
Graumann, a fitness director with Motivatrix, has shown off the MX9 Workout Master, this purports to be the latest technology for the gym of the future.
The MX9 is similar to ‘Dance Dance Revolution’, which is a popular video game where a user tries to copy dance steps shown on a screen. The difference is that the MX9 involves a user's whole body rather than just foot movements.
The machine monitors the user’s performance and measures calories burned. It also features different kinds of games and exercises, combined with great graphics and choices of music. See here for the full article, let’s hope we get them in the UK… sfgate.com
