Government Health Officials: obesity is epidemic. The Geek-a-Cycle™ is an effective solution to this expanding problem.

Slim Geek, Inc., promotes health with the Geek-a-Cycle™. Computer users gain the benefits of exercise while surfing the Internet and accomplishing computer tasks.

The population of the United States is becoming increasingly overweight due to lack of physical activity. Obesity is number 2 – right behind smoking – as the cause of disease and death in the United States.

According to William Dietz, Director of the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, "Figuring out ways to increase physical activity – not necessarily getting people jogging every day but just building physical activity into a person’s day – are reasonable strategies that have the promise to combat this epidemic of obesity."

While using the Geek-a-Cycle™, the user pedals a recumbent exercise cycle burning calories, increasing blood circulation and exercising leg muscles. At the end of the computer session the user has gained the benefit of exercise while simultaneously accomplishing their work tasks.

The health benefits of exercise are well known: decreased risk of coronary heart disease, developing diabetes, high blood pressure, and colon cancer, increased cardiovascular (heart) fitness, increased muscle strength and flexibility, improved joint mobility, decreased stress levels, improved posture, strengthened bones, decreased body fat levels, healthy hearts, weight control, better posture and poise improved digestion, reduction of risk of depression, stress and anxiety, and better skin.

Exercise often does not fit into many people’s daily routine. Many starting exercise programs stop exercising as the routine becomes boring or other things make exercise inconvenient.

Recent surveys show that television viewing is declining while Internet and computer usage is increasing. A person sitting in a Geek-a-Cycle™ while Internet surfing is more likely to take advantage of the exercise activity simply because it is readily available. The individual gains the health and mental benefits of the exercise while focused on more interesting work.
