1. A slider arm exercise device for use in the leg space under a desk, the device comprising:

  • a slider arm having at a first end, a mount to pivotably mount the slider and having at a second end extending away from the first end, a foot rest adapted to receive a user'"'"'s foot, in which the slider arm pivots in a plane substantially parallel with a user'"'"'s legs;

    a pivot resistance in resistive communication with the slider arm to create resistance to pivoting the slider in the plane substantially parallel with a user'"'"'s legs; and

    an interactive computer simulation enhancement, comprising a motion sensor having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being stationary and the second portion being attached to the slider arm so that the second portion moves with respect to the first portion when the slider arm is pushed and pulled toward the user;

    a microprocessor device having a computer-readable storage medium containing a set of instructions executable by the microprocessor device, the set of instructions comprising;

    code for receiving motion data from the motion sensor associated with the slider arm;

    code for converting the motion data to a degree of rotation and a rotation rate;

    code for associating said motion data with a physical position of the slider arms related to a user'"'"'s movement of the pair of slider arms;

    code for associating said physical position with a corresponding visual model; and

    code for simulating moving cameras relative to said corresponding visual model.
