Maneuver in a supermarket loaded to the top with a trolley whose wheels are poorly adjusted and refuse to go in a straight line, and now it's not easy, but it will soon become even more difficult, according to the Internet edition for girls and women aged 14 to 35 Pannochka. Net A new kind of cart will be equipped with devices, which are usually equipped with fitness equipment in the gyms.

Devices on the handle of the cart will capture the pulse of buyers and show how many calories they spend shopping.

According to the producers, maybe this will force buyers to choose fruit instead of chocolate.

The design of the trolley was developed by employees of the German company Wanzl. And buyers can adjust the load level by increasing or decreasing the resistance of the wheels.

Pushing an ordinary cart, buyers for 40 minutes of stay in the supermarket - and that is how much, on average, our visit lasts for products - burns 160 calories.

However, the new trolley allows for about the same time - at a resistance level of 7 out of ten possible - to spend about 280 calories, that is as much as we normally spend for 20 minutes of swimming at a calm pace.

A new trolley, valued at $ 850, will appear next week at the Tesco supermarket in West London. For comparison: an ordinary trolley costs about 120 dollars.

Special devices.

Tesco still has to decide what to do to ensure that these carts are not stolen.

"The new cart is our response to growing concerns about the health of our visitors. At the moment, this is just an experiment, and it is still difficult to say how many stores will be equipped with this novelty, "said the representative of the company.

She admitted, however, that the use of a new cart is not a guarantee of choice by buyers of health-giving products.

The German company Wanzl, which supplies Tesco with 80 to 100 thousand standard carts a year, devoted several months to the development of a new product.

A representative of the company Derek Tauni says that this is a unique development and there is nothing like this in the world: "At the heart of the novelty is a standard cart equipped with devices installed on fitness equipment in fitness clubs. It allows you to simultaneously make purchases and train ".

The new cart was developed as part of the Tesco sponsorship of a charity marathon in favor of the British Center for Cancer Research medicus. En.
