<p>Now you can take the opportunity to use some of those long hours in front of the computer to do some exercise &#8211; without having to leave your seat.</p>
<p><span id="more-1101"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>
The low-rise stepper sits surreptitiously under your desk – just set your feet on the pads, and gently step-step-step. If you can keep up a steady motion, your keyboard and mouse work fine. The moment you stop, however, they stop longer responding. The Gamercize PC keeps track of your progress, and lets you know how you&#8217;re doing against your goals.

<strong>Features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Compatible with Windows, OS X, and Linux</li>
<li>Requires your PC and mouse use USB connections</li>
<li>Burn up to 400 calories per hour while seated. Standing adds up to an additional 250 calories burned per hour!</li>
<li>No weight-limit while seated, 220lb weight limit standing</li>
<li>Weighs 19 pounds, and fits neatly under your desk</li>

<p>I don&#8217;t know, maybe manufactures of consumer electronics are preparing for global warming and ice melting, because the waterproof devices seem to pop up on a more regular basis these days.</p>
<p><span id="more-943"></span></p>
<p>This personal underwater clock counts the number of laps you swim, records the time it took to complete each lap and your total time. On top of that it will also estimate the amount of calories burned.</p>
<blockquote><p>
Simply press the Lap Track to start and again each time you complete a lap and the Lap Track will do the rest. Each time the Lap Track is pressed, your split time will be displayed for 5 seconds so you can check your times as you swim. The entire Lap Track is a button, so you wont need to worry about slowing down to press any small buttons.
