High-tech presents...

Have you ever tried to play tennis in five square meters of your room? Have you ever tried to lie on a sofa and train? It is impossible – you say! And your man thinks the same. Do not try to make him go in for sport. To be honest, sometimes after tiresome working day you can not raise your hands, I do not mean the stronger physical exercises.

That is why a good sport simulator could be a nice part of your interior.

And now new technologies come to help us. It is called – exergaming. This term combines two English words – exercise and game. It comes from 80th, when one of the sport companies connected up the bicycle stimulator to the computer. It allows making an illusion that one is riding trough the hills and plains. Later another computer stimulator was created, this time - in Japan. It was called dance stimulator. A person had to dance learning new movements from the monitor of a computer. It became so popular that visual simulates were used in all cinemas, sport clubs and even at home.

It is an easy matter if you know what play station is.

Looking at the screen and doing simple movements makes an illusion that you are playing some game. The main aim is to unite sport and action even on the small area of your apartment. The most popular play station at the moment is Nintendo Wii. Main element in any virtual sport game is a small sensor. It looks like a control panel or iPod. Using this sensor, one is able to coordinate actions in virtual world. By the way, it is very important to wear something comfortable like in a usual gym.

For example, during a virtual tennis set, the same muscles are trained like during real tennis game. And muscles ache as well.

Usually there is one free game on a disc. There are three most popular virtual games – tennis, bowling and box.

It is an interesting matter – to try something new. So, I believe that even women would like to test this present. I do not think that woman would choose box anyway.

What's the use of these exergaming? For a period 200 calories are gone. Normal maintenance of calories for an adult person is 1000-1500 per day.

Plus it is an interesting game and unusual environment while you are training. They say that in every person there is a child. So, games will make your child wake up and do some exercise when your adult is lazy and the only thing he wants is to eat a good beef stake and play favourite counter strike.

It will not replace many hours in the gym in real time, but at least a person can make short exercise training in the morning or relax after a long and hard working day playing favourite game and practising sport at the same time.
