All work and no workout will make Jack a dull and out of shape boy. To address this issue GymyGym have introduced a chair that includes numerous bungees, so you can workout while working the day away. With this chair and some overtime you could be the most toned office drone around… or maybe taking a break to get in an afternoon walk would be so much better.

Watch the video above, but imagine our new voice over and music instead.

Voice over: Ever since the dawn of time, man has dreamed of flying. OK, we’re not sure if that is in fact true. But TV shows such as Gilligan’s Island, movies like The Rocketeer and G.I. Joe cartoons have at least suggested it has been a dream for the ages.
The problem is that there has never been a way to solve the issue of weight vs. fuel supply. Most jetpacks could only stay airborne for 20 or 30 seconds, making it extremely impractical at best. But that problem is a thing of the past.
(Cue music: The Scorpion’s “Rock Me Like a Hurricane”)
Voice over: The Jetlev flyer is here and for just 129,000 € you can take flight. This jet ski technology can lift 400 to 500 pounds without trouble. It just needs a giant rubber hose to pump water to the pack. So if you need to fly over a small lake or have a really big pool you can be a true jet setter!

Ever gone to the gym’s trainer and lifted weights just above your ability? Your muscles feel like used rubber bands and you don’t feel like visiting the gym for about a week. The MaxOut Strength Studio work on this premise, and charges you $140 (per month) for four workouts. That’s more than most gyms and this is a small “studio” with leather couches instead of equipment. The franchise states a guarantee of results, but never states what that guarantee actually is.

Not much more to say about that one! We don’t think we’d want to use this on any sort of ball!

We’ve seen these for a while now. We get the idea; it is like jump rope but with the rope. Instead of a rope the JumpSnap uses little balls on a short string and this “simulates” a jump rope. The device counts your jumps, timing and calories. That’s all good, but the counting part is easy enough to do already, the timing part of jump rope is sort of the point and any heart rate monitor will count the calories. And while the video says “in less time,” we wonder, does not having a rope really speed up the exercise somehow? About the only thing we see as a benefit is that you can’t have a misstep and somehow trip yourself – but if you’re that uncoordinated you probably have bigger issues to deal with it.

Camel Back, good. BeerBelly, bad. Not much else needs to be said about this product, which is apparently marketed to allow people to sneak alcohol into the ball park. The truth is that most users probably already have put on more than a few pounds before even using this product, and we suspect they also have a true beer belly. With this on their gut they’ll probably look downright obese.
