Keep Track of Push-Ups
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Toys
Konami knows that anyone who does more than about 3 push-ups can’t keep his/her breath and count at the same time, so they have created the Push-up Counter (or, as they call it in the Babelfish translation, “the arm counter.”) At a size of 75 x 118 x 135 mm, you and your buds can try for its limit of 999 by chin or chest, but we both know none of you will get that far. Available in Japan, the battery operated (not included) gadget goes for ¥1764 (~$15.00.)

Power Plate My5 Caters to Individuals
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Household, Misc. Tech
We admit that most of our daily workout involves 20 reps with soup cans and an exercycle that is in a broken no-gear state. So the Power Plate My5 does it all for us. It can adjust to training conditions with a timing display. At a size of 68 x 90 x 150 cm, it comes in silver and black. If the idea of doing real exercise isn’t frightening enough, perhaps the price of €5,350.00 (~$7,617.00) will get that heart to racing.

Biometric Watch Tracks Your Health
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Misc. Tech, Science, Wireless / WiFi
Hitachi has developed a Biometric Wristwatch. While working 24 hours a day for 10 consecutive days, it will analyze your pulse, your sleeping habits, and your exercise routine. Based on a prototype they developed two years ago, the watch now has a lighter weight of 40 grams and is half the size at 43 x 35 x 15 mm. You only need to connect to your PC (wirelessly) to read the data. We think that we are already nervous about a device that tells us that we eat too much and exercise too little. Expect it to hit the market in 2008.

Track Your Steps With USB Pedometer
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories:
Everyone has been nagging you to get back in shape and you reluctantly agree. The USB Pedometer stores up to 3 days of data and can chart its outcome through its software. It will show you how many calories you burned and features a calendar, exercise log, and event alarm, not to mention that you will be the center of attention with its garish orange color. At a dimension of 5.5 x 5.5 x 2.2 cm, it will be available at Brando for $17.00 this November (when you will really need it
feel guilty.)

Button Mash the Pounds Away with Gamercize
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, Household, Video Games
With obesity—especially amongst kids—growing by leaps and bounds, we think this is a great device for gamers young and old. It’s Gamercize Sport, an exercise device that hooks up to your video game console. The catch? The controller only works while you’re exercising. If you stop moving, the controller stops working, so if you want to reach 100% completion on Vice City, you’re literally gonna have to sweat it out. You can hook up Gamercize to your own exercise machine, or purchase their Power Stepper or Mini Cycle. Currently Gamercize is only compatible with PSOne, PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox, however look for Gamercize Pro-Sport in the future, for use with the PS3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. Gamercize Sport is available for $80 USD.
