Why Play AstroPop - or Dynomite?
The characters in AstroPop are compelling, like all the PopCap characters. One of the best parts of Footgaming with either AstroPop or Dynomite is the incredible cardio workout it delivers. Ad that to easy learning curve on the game play and you've got a winner! Why not try the games for an hour, even if you play them the conventional way. It's FREE and it's FUN.
We find that after a 5-10 minute session of AstroPop, gamers of all ages are able to maneuver around the footPOWR pad and generate an aerobic workout. Heart rates of 60-80% max are common. This is good news for anyone wishing to add some valuable exercise to a busy and over-booked day. The cool thing about the FootPOWR pad is that each time a gamer steps on the FootPOWR our logging software captures the data in a personal ACTIVITY LOG. Our "Getting Started" area can help you understand how the logging works for you.
