Gymkids is taking advantage of the childhood obesity problem by peddling exercise equipment for toddlers and kids. For ages 3-5 they have an exercise bike, an "airwalker" (similar to the concept of an elliptical) and a treadmill.
Maybe instead of buying exercise equipment for little kids, parents could try turning off the TV, avoiding the McDonalds drivethrough and taking junior to the park for some actual playtime? A 3-year-old isnt unhealthy or overweight because he/she is lazy and needs to be put on the treadmill ... and they certainly dont need to start training for their future marathons at this age either :(

Hmmm, maybe they'll have a version in the future for me, the GymGeezer!
Wow--talk about using a bandaid to cover up a gash (or whatever that phrase is). It amazes me how people don't want to get to the ROOT of the problem, it's just easier to straighten it out on the top.
Just imagine Santa bringing a kid a treadmill. How much would the holidays stink if you were that kid???
