Buy Walking VideosAsk Laura: CES and Xavix
Hi,
I enjoyed your reviews on the Xavix system. I felt they were the best on the web. I was wondering if you are going to CES 2007 and if you will be checking out and reporting on the Xavix booth.
Both my wife and I exercise daily because of the Xavix. It is much more fun than other methods.
Thanks and keep up the good work.

Ronnie,
Yes, we ARE going to CES! We’re actually leaving today to catch the pre-show press events. I am going to visit the Xavix booth to see if they have anything new. BTW, they finally have the Lifestyle Manager available, which is a scale that connects to the Xavix and keeps track of your weight, etc.
I did a comparison of Xavix to the Nintendo Wii for The Gadgets Page:
Some of the conclusions I came to won’t apply to you because you have already invested in the console, but you might find it interesting.
Thanks for the uplifting email. I really appreciate it. Sometimes I feel like I write Starling Fitness just for myself because I hardly ever hear feedback from the readers. I can see the stats, but they are quiet people who hit the site every day. For all I know, they just look at the pictures… It’s really nice to get a positive email from someone who has read my entries.
Thanks again,
Laura Moncur

Add me to the list of people who reads almost every day. I don’t comment a lot but I benefit tremendously from your posts.

I’m de-lurking to also express my appreciation for your site! I love your level-headed (no quick fixes) approach to health and fitness.
I first ran across your site a few months ago while searching for more information on the Yourself!Fitness video game. I think I read through your entire site that afternoon (don’t tell my boss!).
Thanks for keeping it going!

My problem was I could never find a place that sold Xavix well maybe their website

The best price I could find for the Xavix was at: Outpost.com
I got the Tennis Starter Kit with a JMat and Powerboxing.
Laura, can’t wait to see what else they have coming. I personally wanted a Wii, but it would be too easy to play too many non-exercise games on it. Also, I haven’t seen anything on the Wii with tracking logs for exercise.
The major issue I find with Xavix is that it is impossible to try out anywhere and there are not enough games yet. However, I find having a dedicated console for exercise is really nice as it will force me to get off the couch.
Thanks and keep us up to date on everything at CES!

That review on the Xavix Lifestyle Manager is helpful. Thanks

My daughther will be XAVIX for her P.E. since she’s is homeschooled. Looking forward to execising on it with her 🙂
