Bribe your kids to exercise using video games

step2play

Childhood obesity is no laughing matter, and if you've got a couple of kids who've been hitting the school cafeteria's pizza squares a little too hard it might be high time to get them into shape. But getting a lazy kid onto a treadmill isn't easy, so how can you get them motivated to start taking an interest in their health? Why, but connecting exercise with video games, of course. The Step2Play hooks up to little Donny's Playstation 2 and will only let him to keep playing as long as he continues exercising on the pint-sized stairmaster. You could always get your kid interested in youth sports and limit his time on the PS2 in the first place, but that would take a lot more effort on your part and you're too busy using the EnterTrainer. I think there's something ironic about lazy parents trying to raise non-lazy kids, but I'm no Alanis Morrisette. Step2Play is available now for about $219.
