Tired of the treadmill that pains your knees and ankles? Or has your exercising dream crumpled because of some serious leg trouble? Did you know you could actually exercise in zero gravity and with hardly any pain?
Unless it was about swimming in water, or a ride up in space, it was near impossible till now. But AlterG M300 Anti-Gravity Treadmill makes possible exactly that.
The treadmill is meant only for the really rich. It has a price tag of $ 24,500, and will be available on sale from next month.
How does it work? It creates enough air pressure inside its enclosure to create near vacuum. It uses differential air pressure around your lower body, to lift you up.
The machine then allows you to exercise by moving your legs in 20 per cent less gravity or any differential space between that and normal gravity.
The overpriced version is already being used by 50 per cent of NBA teams and many NFL teams besides some college athletic schedules. In near future, the machines may well make it to your neighbourhood gym.
AlterG is surely a gift for those athletes recovering from injuries, the elderly who must exercise but have no energy or muscle power for it, and patients who need exercise.

Oh, that ever-eluding sleep that we all seek in the times of immense demands and pressures! Several solutions have been provided and the thirst for more hasn’t been quenched yet. Matushita Electric Works has also been quite busy developing its idea for the perfect sleep companion. The bed that this firm has conceptualised assures you the Zzzz at a price of $1,102, 362 Yen (which translates into much fewer dollars).
A Panasonic program controls this unique system automatically. It is very smart as it can understand sleep, lighting, sound and air conditioning, controlling all of these to create the most favorable environment for your nightly rest. So when the user reaches the sleeping moment, the bed knows it by detecting loss of motion. This means that the light, music and the TV gets automatically shut off. The opposite takes place when morning comes in.
