Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.        Turning fitness into competitive fun has become big business for Peloton and others.  A company called Playpulse…from Norway…is jumping into the business with a combination exercise bike, video game console and entertainment system that aims to make working out more fun.   Co-founder Erling Solheim..

“So this company is based on an idea and a project I started a few years ago at the end of my master’s thesis in computer science where I was lacking motivation to exercise and I was finding a lot of motivation to play games.”

So the bike has game controllers and a screen…which can also be used to access streaming content.   But you need to keep peddling.   The Playpulse One is due out later this year.   There’s more at www.Playpulse.com.
