Platinum Club Series Treadmill – Plays nicely with your iPod
By Chris on Friday, Sep 21st 2007 No CommentsThe Reality of the Nike+iPod Kit
By James Allan Brady on Friday, Sep 14th 2007 2 CommentsIf I ever were to get a Nike+iPod set, I would probably return it or sell it on Ebay, sure I would like to get more fit, but I am a big dude, so running is kind of out of the question unless I want to wind up in the hospital. I do however like the idea of it, and it seems I am not alone in this mentality as the actual average number of miles each one of these kits is used for is 12 miles.
That is just funny. Consider that in order to fully use this set, you’d have to buy an iPod Nano for at least $149, the Sport Kit for $29, and a pair of the shoes it works with which range anywhere from $80 to $140, and then you use it all for just a few miles before giving up or at least choosing not to use it.
POWERbreathe Ironman PLUS Is Like Bench Press For Your Lungs
By James Allan Brady on Monday, Sep 3rd 2007 No CommentsI, like you probably, wondered what the heck this device did. Apparently it trains your lungs, allows them to fill with more air, work better, stronger, and faster, so essentially the Ironman PLUS is like a workout machine for your lungs.
There are three settings, light, medium, and heavy. Obviously you would probably want to start with the light level and work your way up. It is said to help with your breathing and even your breath-holding abilities.
GripGlider provides relief for those with aching wrists
By Chris on Monday, Jul 30th 2007 No CommentsI spend much of my waking day on the computer, not a big surprise since I write for a tech blog. Something that has concerned me for some time is the fact that since I spend so much time typing and mousing away, I am at high risk of getting Carpal tunnel syndrome. However, there is a new gadget that promises to help those of us that spend a lot of time on our PC.
Di Blasi brings their Motorized Folding Trike to the US
By Chris on Friday, Jul 13th 2007 No CommentsI’m sure that many of you have seen Transformers by now, and if you have, just about anything that transforms will seem pretty cool. Here’s a Trike from Di Blasi that while it may not transform into a super-intelligent robot, it does fold up so it can fit in tight spaces. Very cool for those low on storage space.
Nintendo is on fire at E3 – Announces Wii Fit
By Chris on Wednesday, Jul 11th 2007 No CommentsWhat’s this? More announcements from Nintendo? Surely not! No, I assure you, it’s true. Nintendo has apparently pulled out all the stops at this year’s E3. Their latest product is a fitness accessory for the Wii. I’m beginning to wonder if the DS is going to get any lovin this year.
i.play encourages game-loving kids outdoors
By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Jul 3rd 2007 No Comments“Stealth Fitness” they’re calling it, and it’s enough to make this cake-loving blogger feel mighty guilty. In response to the growing problem of childhood obesity and the concurrent obsession with computer games, UK company Intelligent Design have developed a combination electronic game and fitness suite that demands children playing jump, dive and generally fling themselves about in order to press, twist and pull different controls.
Nike Triax Vapor 300 – One cool watch
By Chris on Monday, Jul 2nd 2007 No CommentsI’m not much of a watch guy. My phone has a clock on it, so I don’t really have much of a need for another device that tells the time. However, those that need a watch with a little more functionality than your average timepiece, Nike might just have what you’re looking for.

Jump Snap-the fake jump rope
By Abby McVay on Tuesday, Mar 13th 2007 No CommentsI know here on Slashgear we have mentioned the occasional workout gadget, well this one takes the cake. It’s an electronic jump rope, without the rope. Yes, you read correctly it has no rope, kind of defeats the purpose doesn’t it?
