PCMag came up with this schizophrenic list, so don’t blame us. Here’s an example:
Exercise or Risk Your Favorite TV Shows
Watching TV is a popular activity while working out. But imagine your fitness equipment working against you. The Entertrainer ($139.99) is a wireless heart rate device that is activated by your TV’s remote control. Mount it on a treadmill, bike, or any other exercise equipment. Choose your level of work-out intensity, and then power on your TV. If you’re not exercising hard enough, the volume on your TV will go down; if you don’t get your routine back on track, the TV will turn off! Talk about taking candy away from a baby!

But we are just bottom feeders with degrees in medicine and biomed engineering around here, not big journalists like they are, so what do we know?
