Problems solved by technology

While there are many toys for children to play with, including toys to be used with dolls, there is a lack of toys that allow children to pretend that they are at an exercise facility, or at a circuit training facility.

The Henderson, et al. patent is limited to a model stationary bicycle and does not disclose an entire workout circuit.
