The bikerace
What is it: It’s a gym cycle that also runs tests on your body.
Why it’s hot: Bikerace has various easily programmable functions for all kinds of training and for aerobic and anaerobic tests.Wacky fitness gadgets 1. Jump snap A jump rope without... a rope? Yes, but it records how many times you jump. 2. The dumbbell phone Ever seen a dumbbell attached to a phone? Well, here’s one. Sure, you may look a bit silly in office when you pick up this phone to talk. But imagine the biceps you will have within weeks. The company also promises that a “personal fitness trainer” will call you every working hour. A bizarre idea if there ever was one. |
All tests can be printed out. One innovation exclusive to this “Bike” is the capacity for training at Constant Heart Rate: the machine monitors the heart constantly, automatically regulating resistance in order to keep the pulse within the range of values preset in relation to age.

It also reduces friction for users and eliminates the maintenance needed if you own a gym.
