Go to the gym with friends who aren’t there

Now you can bicycle to the Internet (almost), on a networked stationary cycle that adds layers of gaming, interactivity, and social media to the spinning workout. Continue reading

Treadmill on Wheels Works Your Cardio While Moving About in Nature

Sure, you could argue that you might as well just use a traditional bicycle or maybe even walk for a change, but some people require variety in their life. The Treadmill Bicycle takes the treadmill out from the confines of your home and allows you to power walk your way through nature, without all of that troublesome pedaling. Sort of like a hybrid between a bike, a scooter and your run-of-the-mill home treadmill, the Treadmill Bike gets you out into... Continue reading

Map-Equipped Treadmill Takes You On A Hike Without Leaving Your Man Cave

Why even bother leaving the house these days? You can work from home, order our groceries from home. I mean, the internet has really revolutionized our entire culture. And now, the Map-Equipped Treadmill, properly known as the NordicTrack X7i Incline Trainer, shifts and inclines depending on the actual topography of the terrain you set as your own custom hiking route. Feel like taking a trip across the curvy roadways of San Francisco? Or maybe a simple race across Azeroth? Well, good... Continue reading

The New (Media) Workout Plan Puts Social Networking to Good Use

If you spend all of the time you used to spend exercising checking all of your shiny social media sites, chances are you’re starting to look a little lumpy. But there’s a solution! The New (Media) Workout Plan encourages fitness and geekiness working in tandem. Every time you open up a new tab to check one of these sites, perform the listed exercise. I’m going to be doing sit-ups, arm circling and jogging in place all fucking day. Link [via]

Please Tell Your Pet To Put Down The Fork

Your pet eats its emotions. That much is clear. What sort of pet needs to use a Buddha Bed as their sleeping cushion? Pet obesity is serious business. I’d like to talk to you about your fat pet for a moment. Please, avert your pet’s eyes away from the screen for a few moments. It’s probably not your fault. Who knows? Maybe Fluffy let herself go after that Great Dane left her for a younger (and frankly, hotter) Poodle. I... Continue reading

Exer-Station: Wii Fit-like Gaming Exercise on Any Console

This is just perfect. And not only because the Wii sucks! Okay, well mostly because the Wii sucks. But we have to hand it to Nintendo. Their little Wii Fit gimmick is a decent idea… in theory. The problem is that their console is a gimmicky pile of junk, which isn’t much help to those of us who need a serious workout. By far, the most awesome thing about the Exer-Station Pro is that you don’t need the Wii to... Continue reading

Human-Powered Mobile Treadmill Keeps Up With A 350Z

This is just hilarious. Even more so than the World Of Warcraft treadmill race across Azeroth. It’s a human-powered mobile treadmill by Alex Astilean. Technically the equivalent of a large hamster wheel for humans, this mobile treadmill will have everyone in the park giving you funny looks. Just be careful not to hit anyone. With the momentum this thing could potentially build up, who knows what kind of damage it could do? Link

Fitbit: Pedometer 2.0

A cheap, barely-functional pedometer isn’t going to do you a lot of good. Shit, McDonalds was handing them out a few years ago with some bullshit “fit meal” marketing gimmick, essentially killing all hope that pedometer can really help you lose weight. All that has changed with the invention of the $99 Fitbit. At that price, most consumers will be extremely cautious about purchasing the device but it’s well worth it.

At Least Wii Fit is Good for Something

Shake what’cha mama gave yaaaa! Finally! The Nintendo Wii is good for something. Link

Conference Bike is a ride for seven

[ev type="youtube" data="4cDDBM9gJts"][/ev] Not even your boss enjoys having a conference inside a dull office room when the weather is nice outside. If you know that your boss would much rather be doing something outdoors, you might want to suggest the Conference Bike, a bicycle that takes 7 people for a pleasant ride. This is also good for those who need some exercise instead of sitting around at a boring conference table. Hell, if you suggest this to your boss,... Continue reading
