I just received a Kilowatt Sport in the mail. The Kilowatt is basically a giant joystick that you hook up to a game console or computer and use to exercise. The way it works is by making you push around a giant metal pole to control your in-game character. You can use it for any game, but it is said to work best with games that require a lot of movement, like racing titles or Super Monkey Ball. I get to use the unit for the next three months and plan to post regular entries on Kotaku about what I think of it. It will sort of be a live blogging journal. Expect lots of text and little to no pictures of my flabby stomach.
