Gamercize announces Game4Life Campaign

    SOUTHAMPTON, ENGLAND, November 13, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In partnership with the Change4Life, Gamercize reaches new populations with its support for the NHS health promotion campaign's key physical activity messages of "Up and About" and"60 Active Minutes".

"Up and About" encourages less time to be spent in sedentary screen time, which can be converted into a heart pumping healthy alternative with Gamercize active gaming products. "60 Active Minutes" sets out a guideline for physical activity that Gamercize can also provide, with up to 650 calories per hour working out while gaming.

The promotional campaign code "game4life" will give families the opportunity to save some money with cash discounts from www.gamercizeshop.com on a new product, the Gamercize Family Fit. This new healthy way of gaming for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii was shown on The Gadget Show and Stuff.TV this week.

The new 3 in 1 exergaming machine's simplicity was explained by Gadget Show host Jason Bradbury "you can't play unless you're exercising" while the concept was demonstrated by co-host Suzie Perry "I just get immersed in gaming and don't realise I'm exercising".

The new Gamercize Family Fit works with every sedentary game on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii to ensure appeal for every gamer can keep fit through the fun of video games. To keep non-gamers of the family moving, the top of the range Gamercize Family Fit also includes non-interactive recumbent cycling and static rowing.

Gamercize CEO, Richard Coshott adds "Gaming is part of everyday life for a large number of the population. Recently I was waiting with a mass of people for the latest Call of Duty title on release day and saw how massive the appeal is. With the new Gamercize Family Fit comes the opportunity to play games from Modern Warfare 2 to Mario Kart for fitness and health improvement. The benefits of Gamercize are it doesn't feel like exercise while you're playing and it doesn't change the original game play."

The Game4Life promotion will be valid until December 7th and will save customers GBP50, EUR70 or $100, depending on the currency selected, on the Gamercize Family Fit. Enter the code "game4life" during checkout to receive this discount.
