If you like to run or walk Nike and Apple have the Nike Plus system that will record your workout and help you to reach your exercise goals. A company called Finis has announced a new device called Swimsense that does the same thing for swimmers.

The Swimsense device looks like a watch but records all sorts of details about your swimming workout. The device records things like the number of laps you swim, total distance swam, calories burned, lap times, pace, and stroke count.

Go to any elementary or middle school today and you will see right away that many kids today are obese. I like my video games as much as the next person, but kids need to run and play too so they can get some exercise. The Fun Xercise Bike for the Wii has debuted to help kids get fit while they play games.

The folding bike has a steering wheel attachment connected to it for inserting the Wii remote for games like Mario Kart. Apparently, the pedals have nothing to do with the game and the user doesn’t have to pedal to get the kart to go on screen.

We first profiled Gamercize, a company which develops exercise related gaming add ons for various platforms, in January. We’ve known gotten word the company is also bringing to gyms a commercial version of its offering called Gamercize Exercise Pods.

The Gamercize Exercise Pod concept is quite simply a wait to help people lessen the boredom most feel when working out. It consists of a combination of different exercise equipment, one of Gamercize’s accessories and a PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 gaming console. One can even add a HD widescreen LCD television if so desired.
