It is said that most people tend
to gain weight in the winter. Between feasting during the
holidays in December, and comforting ourselves with rich
food to make it through the cold days and nights, many
of us do find ourselves a lot rounder than we would like
to be – especially as we think of spring and summer
just around the corner. Since I am one of those feeling
uncomfortably overweight and ‘out of shape’,
I decided to buy some home exercise equipment to remedy
the situation. As exercising can become very boring, a
friend recommended some excellent fitness and sport training
videos I could download on my PC, and also some instructional
DVDs I could buy to help me stay motivated.
The only problem I had was making the videos viewable on the small TV I have
in the “gym” room. But thanks to X10
PC Sender - this was not a problem!
I simply connected the transmitter to my PC and the receiver to my small TV in
the Gym, using the provided cables.
So now, my workouts are guided and assisted by the professional trainers I follow
on the TV screen. Using the X10 PC Remote Control, with a touch of the keypad
I control what I am receiving from my PC (it even includes a mouse pad with left
and right mouse buttons). I am able to display any PC multi-media menu on my
TV. And so I can easily access my downloaded fitness audio and video files, or
view DVDs as I workout. All this through walls and ceilings !
With the X10 PC Sender and PC Remote Control (and continued encouragement from
my trim and fit friend) I have been able to stay motivated to get into top form
before the warmer weather!
