Whether your children are already fairly active or not the GamerCycle^TM fitness system will add to your sense of parental well-being, knowing the kids aren't being total couch potatoes when they are involved in indoor play time.

GamerCycle^TM will help your children achieve the following health benefits:

Maintain a healthy weight Improve cardiovascular performance Reduce stress levels Improve muscle density & muscle mass

With a typical child averaging over an hour per day playing video games (and many days well over that average), it is increasingly important to structure this time in concert with chores, homework, etc. Furthermore, we strongly believe that this time can become a component of an overall healthy lifestyle, instead of a potential detriment.

Beyond the obvious physical benefits, we have observed three other key benefits:

1. Rather than having video play time be a constant child/parent battleground, there is more harmony in the household.
2. After a short time, childrens' self-esteem begins to rise, more so for kids that don't have as many other physical outlets
3. Children appreciate the concern that parents show for their health. They may not show it, but our children really do listen to us, even while they are grumbling and grousing. They want us to be parents, they want us to protect them, to guide them, and even to make them do things they at first rebel against

We don't believe GamerCycle to be the end-all and be-all for children's health and fitness... far from it. We hope it is a valuable addition to other existing physical activities, or the cornerstone for the young ones so they get in shape and are ready to take on soccer, swimming, or other activities.
