Wurlybird Flyer
It doesn’t look like it would exercise more than one arm at a time, but I can imagine playing on this thing for hours as a kid. Just imagine… a fair ride that’s free!
I have a couple of questions about this action toy, though:
Can you play with it all by yourself?
As a child, there were lots of playground toys that were useless to me. The teeter totter was one example. It’s impossible to play alone. It’s impossible to play with your sister who is five years younger. You have to find a kid who is about the same weight as you to play. Is that how this thing would work?
Does it only exercise your left arm?
It doesn’t look like you can switch arms, so you would end up with one sore arm after a day’s play with it. If you can’t switch arms, that’s a major design flaw.
This looks like a fun idea, but not quite up to exergaming standards. Heck, even the Wii exercises BOTH of your arms…
