Parents, We Understand

We know how difficult it can be to find time for exercise when juggling work and family, which is why we have an area dedicated for children to be active and have fun while parents workout. The recreation area features the latest equipment in exer-gaming technology - a fit interactive three kick and heavy ball, two gamebikes, two DDR pads, and a Wii video game console. Not only is this equipment fun, but its effective and kids can play while getting a great cardio workout.

"3 Kick" is a heavy duty commercial grade machine that will be loved by youth, kick boxers, instructors, trainers and those that just want to have fun competing with friends while getting a great workout! 3 Kick is designed with resilient foam pads that can be punched, kicked, slapped, or tapped with shoes or bare feet, a fist, or an open palm. A light comes on in the pad and an audible tone sounds, when the pad is hit the light goes off and randomly another comes on. The score is based on speed and more points are allocated the faster you move, making it easy to track your daily progress. 3 Kick is simple to use, fun, and built strong.

HOW IT WORKS

• Each round is a timed event.

• 1 to 3 players get in the ring, any pad is kicked and the game begins.

• A light inside a foam pad will illuminate and an audible signal will sound.

• That light will stay on for 5 seconds or until the corresponding pad is either hit or kicked.

• Randomly another light will come on and will stay on until the pad is punched or kicked.

• As the targets are hit, points accumulate and are displayed as the game is played. As response time increases, more points are added to your score lending even more excitement to the round!

Compete against yourself, others, or as a team! The sport or game moves as quickly as the player. Thus accommodating players from children to adults and beginners to the advanced.

"Heavy Ball" offers a fun and unique work out experience! This exciting piece of equipment uses a 4 lb. 6 lb. or 8 lb. medicine ball of your choice. The Heavy Ball has the user picking up weight, moving it back and forth, lifting it, and getting an aerobic work-out, while having a good time.

The object of this fun, new, interactive game is to put the medicine ball into the hole with the light on, and retrieve it from the archway below, then quickly move it to the next hole with the light on. The player races the clock for the high score. Points are allocated based on speed and the competition between players or with themselves makes this naturally FUN!

Exer-Gaming Equipment

Exer-gaming units are leading the way in the fight against childhood obesity by making fitness fun for kids. The Fit Stop has two gamebikes which provide an exceptional cardio workout while participating in competitive or fun racing games on a Playstation 2 console. Kids ride bikes and control steering and speed of characters on various ATV and dirt bike games.

"Dance Dance Revolution" is a popular arcade game that gets kids' feet moving! Kids perform a sequence of dance steps on the DDR pads to keep rhythm to popular songs. They move their feet up, down, left, or right at a pace which they can determine based on their experience - beginner to expert.

The Nintendo Wii is an interactive system that allows kids to create the actions of their characters on the game. Sporting games require constant movement in order to complete various tasks. The Wii Fit is another popular game and is equipped with a balance board. Using the Wii Fit, kids can compete in races, learn common strength training moves, participate in yoga, or enjoy other challenging activities.
