Cardio is good for our hearts, muscles, and circulation, but because it's so repetitive, it can get boring fast. People help pass the time by listening to their iPods, watching TV or movies, reading magazines and books, and I've even seen someone knitting on the treadmill.
Now there's a new way to help you forget you're exercising. It's known as the NeuroActive Bike, or Brain Bike. It's a computer attached to a stationary bike, and there are 22 "brain-stimulating exercises" or games, that challenge your mind and memory. The goal is to improve your cardiovascular and cerebral health at the same time.
To see a video of how this bike works and find out how much one costs, read more.

They are already showing up in gyms in Canada, and if you want one for your own home gym, it'll run you about $3,000. Would you be into using a Brain Bike if it showed up at your gym?

that's so cool. i'm all about keeping my mind working while i'm working out and this could be great. i wonder what fitness clubs will consider getting it....
1That's a pretty cool idea.
2That'd be so cool! Sometimes I watch "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" on TV while I'm on the stationary bike at the gym and it really does make the time go by faster.
