Idea: Working out has become an irreplaceable activity from modern lifestyle. Remaining fit is the "in-thing" now. Many people love to workout. Many find it boring because fitness is an ongoing challenge. The primary reason I find workout boring is treadmills. They are supposed to emulate running. While the emulation does an excellent job at providing your a softer surface to run (and hence easier on knees), it fails miserably at providing you the same level of enjoyment you get running outdoors. A couple of approaches have been tried to alleviate this problem by putting big screen LCD TVs. I find it too hard to concentrate and very distracting. When I am running I would like it to be very similar to running outdoors in that I would like to look at changing sceneries while I "run forward". We could combine the technologies we already have (Shred 4D ride @ the Universal studios) with treadmill and provide the runner a perfect running ambiance.
Reward: A really enjoyable running experience on treadmill, finally!
Bonus: Maybe a runner could just be given goggles that show him terrain he is running on. The runner could also see fellow runners (running on similar treadmill anywhere in the world at that time) and exchange fitness tips. They could even take part in competition or a charity run while running on the treadmill.

According to me though such exercise seems to be very enjoyable, but one should keep track of exercise time limit.
I know many people forget about the time limit and keep doing exercise(e.g playing music while exercising).
Some people even though they are aware of they are running out of time, will love to exercise beyond time limit( like playing video games ).
So such fascilities must be limited by timeframes and it will be better if we could get some informative messages also like
(you have reached maximum limit for this exercise etc.)
The suggestion is good.. but how will you track time limit ?
May be using Alarm or something similar ?
If you talk about humans.. then you can not stop them from doing anything they want to do.
Yes, you can prison them to stop them from doing such things.
:)
Puneet,
It could be possible to limit the exercise time by having the 3D/4D vdo's time propotional to the maximum capacity for that particualr exercise.
Rest we cannot stop human being from doing anything but I think if we have such fascilities in prisons then that will be gr8 fun for prisoners also ;)
