The Entertrainer has taken over your TV

The Entertrainer is a very curious device. It combines both a cardiac monitor and a universal TV remote that helps you in your TV viewing. How, you ask? PowerUp Fitness’ Entertrainer is strapped around your chest. When your heart rate drops below a determined target, volume is lowered automatically. Should your heart continue in its sedated state, the TV is then turned off. This geeky gadget will cost you $100 – it is a good excuse for those who want to disguise their laziness by claiming that it saves power! (features below)
