Treadmill Bed Sends Mixed Signals to the Morbidly Obese

This handy invention is a combination of a treadmill and a bed. It automatically props your fat ass up and puts your feet on a treadmill. Apparently, you can exercise this way. Wait, what? Call me crazy, but moving your feet while sitting down isn’t a form of exercise. It certainly isn’t jogging. If you’re…

Prospot Fusion Home Gym Combines the Tedium of Exercise With the Excitement Of Watching Things On a TV

As you can tell by our headshots, the only way most of the editors here at Giz would exercise is if you stuck a TV onto gym equipment. Good news! That’s exactly what Prospot did with their Fusion HG6. The base unit costs $4699 and looks quite sturdy and useful on its own, but coupled…

Exercise Pills Will Finally Make You Attractive to the Opposite Sex, I’m Sure

Good news, chubbies! Science has got your back. Researchers at the Salk Institute have found two drugs that trick the muscles in mice into thinking they’ve been working out like crazy, even when said mice have been playing World of Warcraft and eating Funyuns for 8 straight hours. One drug, known as Aicar, increased the…

Dumbell Shaped Sports Bottle Gives You a Thirst Quenching Workout

I don’t know how much of a workout you are going to get with some rinky-dink 1-pound weights, but I like the idea behind this Dumbell Sports Bottle design. Not only would a bottle weight serve as a constant reminder about proper hydration, it would also encourage recycling. Plus, if you were to drink from…

VR Treadmill Makes Running Indoors Feel Like Running Outdoors

This extremely fancy treadmill puts in a whole lot of effort to make you feel like you’re running outside when you, in actuality, aren’t. While it’d be easy to cynically joke about how people hate the sun so much that they’re devising ways to pretend to run outside, this is clearly designed for physical therapy…

Five Axis Mechanical Core Muscle Trainer Is Wild Bull Riding Fun for the Older Sect

It turns out the wet t-shirt-wearing girls riding those mechanical bulls at the local bar were actually exercising. No lie, as you can see with this Five Axis Core Muscle Trainer, ripped from the everlasting kitsch-ridden pages of Hammacher Schlemmer. The saddle tilts left and right, up and down, and throws in a few twists…

Liber Toit Connects Building Roofs via Wall Climbs, Tubes and Slides

OK, now this looks fun. The “Liber Toit” is a design for what’s essentially a gigantic jungle gym for adults that spans across the roofs of multiple buildings in a city. You can get from building to building via wall climbs, slides, tubes and any number of other insanely-fun looking methods. It’s a way to…

Treadmill Desk With Five Monitors Overstimulates As You Exercise

Treadmill desks are nothing new, but while products like the Steelcase Walkstation try to trick you into doing extra work while exercising, the JW Treadmill desk is unapologetic about being purely focused on entertainment. In fact, it goes completely over the top with a five-display setup. https://gizmodo.com/hands-and-feet-on-the-steelcase-walkstation-video-315082 Despite it’s name, the JW Treadmill desk can…

Unicycle Transport Vehicle: Like a Segway, Only Lamer and Sweatier

This unicycle transport vehicle by designer Regimantas Vegele is tailor made for an unique breed of individual-the kind of person that cares about looking good, but does not care about looking foolish. Essentially, the device would take the concept of an elliptical trainer and turn it into an actual moving vehicle. So traveling would involve…

Motorola Patents Biometric and Touch Sensitive Bluetooth Headsets

A series of Motorola patents recently made public reveal that the company has given some thought to incorporating biometric monitors into Bluetooth headsets and adding touch sensitive controls to the ROKR S9. Actually, there are two different versions of the biometric Bluetooth headset, both of which utilize a watch-like device to measure heart rate, temperature…

The Ottoman Bench Seamlessly Blends Exercise Equipment Into Your Decor

One of the major problems with home gym equipment is that it is bulky and often requires a dedicated room of the house to use. That is why, in my opinion, the future of home gyms will be equipment that is designed to blend in with the decor. A few weeks ago I came across…

Exercise Furniture Tones, Tightens and Ties a Room Together

I must admit that I love the concept of turning everyday furniture into a stylish and discreet home gym. However, the idea as Florian Hauswirth and Thomas Walde envision it leave much to be desired. I think the pull up bar / clothes hanger combo works well, but the sit up apparatus bench and the…

Wii Fit Review By a Formerly Fit Geek

I used to be very proud of my legs. I have slight knees and ankles. But the muscles around the bones were very strong. And in my early 20s, as a full-time martial artist, I could kick very hard. My nose bled like a faucet, but I will say I could hold my own good…

Atari’s Family Trainer Is Wii Fit Meets NES Power Pad Meets DDR

Atari isn’t going to let Nintendo hog all the video game fitness money, as evidenced by the announcement of Family Trainer for the Wii. It’s pretty similar to Wii Fit in that people stand on it and do activities, but it doesn’t weigh you and actually has pads for you to jump or step on.…

Can Mega Quake Prime Weight-Loss Rump Shaker Transform Your Body?

Nintendo Wii Fit Here

Nintendo rang the doorbell at 8:30AM to give me some training in Wii Fit. They calibrated the board to my body by taking my age and measuring my weight. I did some basic yoga stretches, and found them surprisingly hard. My BMI is 25.99, which makes me overweight. My body age, which is much like…
