What’s New in Fitness

Today, I’m highlighting a few new products and ideas that have come across my in-box in the last few weeks. Some look promising while others simply promise a good laugh. Take a look and see what you think:

– I haven’t tried this, but it actually looks useful, especially considering how annoying my headphone wires can be. The Magneat attaches to your clothes and allows you to wrap your headphone cord around it and lock it into place. – This is another new product that caught my eye, a lateral trainer that moves in a figure eight motion. It looks like an elliptical trainer that moves sideways, if that makes any sense. Aside from the fact that they say this will sculpt your inner and outer thighs (we all know that spot training doesn’t work), it looks interesting, although I’m wondering how it would really feel to take the body through that kind of motion for a long cardio workout. – The email I got about this one asked, “Want abs like Matthew McConaughey?” I almost deleted it right then and there (mostly because it’s tiring when people try to sell products by promising six-pack abs). I took a look and decided that standing on a long board and using a land paddle looked kind of fun. The ‘Big Sticks’ that allow you to paddle and the long boards (which look like big skateboards) are surprisingly expensive, so I’m not sure this will catch on. But, it’s cheaper than buying a plane ticket to Hawaii for the real thing. – And in the Oh-My-Goodness category, comes the Shake Weight which…sigh. I can’t even bring myself to describe this one, but I will say it made me laugh and laugh. I give it a thumbs-up just for entertainment value.
