Seating to Promote Weight Loss

The Hobart I-Cool Chair

The cool looking Hobart I-Cool seat has been designed to reduce body weight while sitting.

The concept accelerates calorie output through temperature regulation. The I-Cool is touted as the "first ever exercise-free, calorie-burning seat." The user sets their personal preferred temperature, creating a revolutionary micro-environment.

Seems a bit hard to believe, but if it works, sign me up, I am all for burning off some cals while sitting at the computer all day. Maybe they should be regulation-issue for all cubicle dwellers.
