Your Chance to Become an International Athlete – without leaving the house!
It’s the year 2000, the Sydney Olympics and you are a competitor in the Downtown Sydney Run. You run along the beautiful cityscape, passed the Opera House and, jeered on by the cheering crowd, you sprint down the home straight towards the finish line. This is not the stuff of dreams it is reality – well virtual reality at least. A brand new fitness concept launched by a home-grown UK company allows you, or rather your virtual self, to take part in the most famous of international circuits in rowing, cycling and running.
Web Racing™ is here and is set to revolutionise the way we think about fitness. All you need is a PC, an internet connection and a Simultrainer package which connects to your treadmill, rower or exercise bike. The Simultrainer, introduced by Sussex-based company, Instyle®, is priced at just £127.66 and is so easy to set up, even the uninitiated computer user can do it in minutes.
"Training on exercise equipment can be extremely dull" says Duncan Lawson, Director of Instyle®. "It offers no interaction or mental stimulation. You see people at the gym on the exercise bikes reading magazines and know there is no way they are focusing on their training which can achieve only poor results. Web Racing™ keeps you focused and psychologically engaged, meaning that you burn more calories and achieve greater muscle tone over the same time period. It is a definite must for anyone who finds it difficult to stay motivated during exercise and, most of all, it’s great fun!"
Web Racing™ is a great way for all the family to get fit and healthy – the kids will love it! It’s ideal for anyone with a competitive streak as you can choose to race against other users all over the world. You could find yourself competing in the Oxford vs Cambridge boat race against people in all four corners of the globe! There’s even a forum so you can chat online with fellow Web Racers. The programme allows you to design your own personal Avator (virtual character) to represent you. You choose the sex, name and even the outfit so no-one need know the real person behind the virtual contestant!
If the element of competition isn’t for you there is a ghost rider option which allows you to compete against your last performance. Web Racing™ records your data allowing you to monitor your progress, helping you to continuously challenge your fitness levels. Web Racing™ ensures you get a fantastic workout while the presence of other participants and authentic scenery keep your mind engaged to the point that you can easily forget how hard you are actually working. Boring exercise is a thing of the past!
