MP3 Clip Stix: Looks Like a Medical Instrument, Rocks Your Booty

These 256MB MP3 Clip Stix from Ministry of Sound resemble those blood gas monitors nurses clip onto people’s fingers at the hospital, but they’re actually tiny music players, designed to clip onto your clothing.

CYBEX Trazer: Virtual Reality Games, Costs As Much As a Pony

The Trazer is a “virtual reality” exercise machine by Cybex. The user wears an infrared belt, or “beacon”, which tracks movement and mimics it on-screen in one of Trazer’s 20 proprietary games. Yes, we said “proprietary”. Instead of opening the technology to support real games, you are stuck with some Lawnmower Man-looking 3D titles. In…

iTrain: Work Out With Your iPod, No Nike Required

Yeah, the Nike + iPod connection is pretty neat, but what if you’re one of those people who hate Nike because of the labor practices (and conveniently ignore Apple’s own labor problems)? There’s a service by the name of iTrain that promises to help you win the battle of the bulge (puns!) with a series…

Spankometer, You Know, For Spanking

Spank, spank spank. An oh-so common and tragic sound around the Gizmodo offices, but up until this point we had no way to compete with each other for the best spanker in the land. Enter the Spankometer. This device works similar to a pedometer. Strap it on and begin spanking. The Spankometer will record time…

Ropeless Jump-Rope, More Useful Than You Think

Lester Clancy has finally been awarded a patent on his groundbreaking invention, the cordless jump-rope. Believe or not, this thing might actually be useful. There are weighted balls in each handle to simulate the feel of the rope. It can’t determine whether you would have made the jump or not, but hopefully that feature may…

Strollometer

One time in High School, we sat on a toilet seat without using one of those seat covers and totally got pregnant. Then we got fat, and ick, could hardly find the time to stay in shape. If only we had this Strollometer to keep us fit. Attach the stopwatch-sized device to any stroller, and…

Xavix Stairstepper Concept: Run, Fatty!

Xavix is infamous for trying to bridge videogaming and exercise with poorly-made interactive products. Their sports games like baseball and boxing have graphics on par with SNES, horrible audio, and limited interactivity. They also have lots of exercise-based games such as dancing and Jackie Chan Fitness. Through all the horrible products, there IS hope, though!…

Death By Food: The Meat Helmet

McDonald’s has pissed off yet another artsy kid again. The Meat Helmet looks at the absurd attempt of fast food chains to market to the health conscious and such. Basically, it’s headgear that forces you to chew to burn calories. Chewing burns about 70 calories an hour, so if you start chomping down on things…

Puke Cycle is more like it. This device is designed to create gravity-like resistance for exercising in space.
