ZigZag Exer-Station Pro targeting the Xbox generation

The longer you play, the stronger and fitter you get!

ZigZag's Exer-Station Pro is a muscle strengthening game controller that looks and works just like a typical PlayStation console.

But the controller, which was voted 'Best Innovation of the Year 2005', uses body movements to control the game instead of thumbs, so unlike traditional computer games, the longer you play, the stronger and fitter you get!

• 20 levels of intensity
• up to four controllers can be programmed into any one game
• play alone or compete against each other
• isometric workout means there are no joint movements making the exercise safer for children

CBBC Newsround gives ZigZag a big thumbs up!

Test-driving the Exer-Station Pro herself, Sportsround reporter Lizzie Greenwood said: "The great thing about these games is that you're so busy concentrating on playing, you don't realise you're actually exercising.

"Whether you're into computer gaming or not, it looks like it could become a big part of PE lessons. So instead of working out in a school gym, you could be getting fit in a virtual world!"
