Who likes the idea of getting out of the warm ‘n’ cozy blanket early morning to hit the gym? No one, for sure! But, would you like the idea of a no-sweat workout, that too at your convenience - at the mall, a departmental store, a restaurant or just about in any public place when you feel like it?
The Japanese have come out with an innovative solution that promises to burn calories without any sweat and that too at your convenience. Coin operated workout stations are popping up all over Japan in convenience stores to help people get their workout at their convenience. These could in fact be the future money spinners!
How does this work?
You get a 10 minute workout when you drop coins equivalent of $4.10 into the slot of the machine. All you have to do is balance yourself on the footpads of the machine that moves in multiple directions @ 1,560 times per minute. You don’t want to smell sweaty if your next destination is a date with your partner, and this machine promises just that - a no-sweat workout!
I think the concept is great especially for fitness freaks who travel and find it difficult to find a gym in an alien place. The idea of ‘pay n use’ work stations is great and may just be the need of the hour when you see the growing obese population in the world.
So the next time you find yourself guilty over eating that deliciously sinful dessert, you just know where you have to head next for - The convenience store!
