Exercise -- A thing of the past...

OMG. That's absolutely hilarious!
"Effortless exercise" ... hmmm, that's an oxymoron

You mean people actually believe you can recreate the hip movements of a dance performed standing up... While sitting down? 0.o
Why not make a machine that lets you run 5 miles while lying on your back? It could be like a shoe that you put in your ass, cause that's exactly what you desserve for believing any of this stuff works.
There should be laws about marketing products towards the mentally challenged.
When will it become common sense that a muscle is only used when you use it, not when a machine pushes your limp muscles and skeleton around?
Looks like a great way to cause spinal problems IMO.
Imagine what all that forced motion could do to someone with a back problem who bought the device to strengthen their lower back and core?
I also wonder about some of those games like Wii-fit and those other excercise-bike based video games.
I can't help but wonder what might happen when these games start going online. They've already broken the grounds. Young children are the first market for these types of games. There's an MMORPG for kids where you create a character, and you carry a pedometer with you that you can plug into your computer and it converts the steps you've taken into points that you can use in the game.
I mean looking into the future, it's entirely possible that athletes will be able to compete with eachother in virtual racing games over the internet on an exercise bike or treadmill to add a physical element to the game. Given the amount of progress constantly available international competition could encourage, I see it as a pretty realistic advancement in sports and the state of our national health. But at the same time, you have to wonder if these games are going to have the same addictive potential of any other online games, and whether people might start abusing their bodies to accomplish goals in the game.
Exercise is hard and demanding so you'll know when to stop.
Anyways, just a thought. I strongly believe that most of us will live to see the day where we can come home, jump on our treadmill, and train amongst all the top athletes in the world in real-time 24/7, as well as forming online training teams (like guilds or clans), and the ability to compare and challenge yourself on a worldwide scale.
Step even further into technological advancement and you might even see games which detect things like personal stamina, endurance, and physical strength, and which develop your online character alongside your own body. As you get stronger and faster, so does your character.
We have bio-scanners available in keyboards, we have the technology to measure our body's responses to exercise, and strength to weight ratio isn't exactly hard to work out, all the technology is there, we just need to develope it into affordable game console peripherals.

I am reminded of the 70's fat burning machine. In theory, the product would jiggle the fat off of you.
... a console that has the ability to take a urine and blood sample in order to automatically disqualify the cheaters.

You'd have to be a pretty hardcore loser to dope yourself just to anonymously cheat at video games over the internet...
But sadly I wouldn't be surprised...
I'm pretty sure they still make those.
Anyone wanna write that company producing the iJoy Ride to ask them if drilling a hole in the seat and filling it with vaseline would void the warranty?
