NordicTrack x7i Incline Trainer
By Fresno
There's something scary about the sound of a treadmill with WiFi, but the newest fitness monster from NordicTrack promises only to use the Internet for good and not to tell the world that you almost died trying to run a mile in less than 17 minutes. It's compatible with the iFit Live system that uses the internet to pull up real running routes and simulates them. It has a 7-inch touch screen display to look at and more built-in functions than you could throw a little green, paper cup at. So, while it guarantees to kick up your work-outs, it'll also set you back a cool $2,000, which should help you drop weight as you eat nothing but newspapers while you're trying to pay if off.
TRX Suspension Training Pro Pack
By Fresno
If you're like a lot of normal guys, the winter has left you pale and fat. But, no-shirt season is quickly approaching, which means it's time to make your own heft work for you. The TRX system anchors to any stable object like a door, tree or playground equipment. Once you start exericising, the resistance is what makes your muscles fire, thus melting away all of those Hot Pockets you ate because you were too lazy to go outside in the snow. Check out the site for some video on how it works, then get your guns ready for some serious workouts. Oh, and if you're going to be working out in your bedroom, consider getting an extra air freshener.
Withings WiFi Scale
By Fresno
How's that New Year's resolution going for you? Awesome, right? Well, it might be going a little better if you had a scale that hooked up to your WiFi and uploaded your weight, fat mass and BMI to the web. The Withings connected scale uses your body's data and creates custom graphs that you can use to track your fitness progress, or to keep track of what eating only things found on dollar menus can do to your body. You can use Google Health to measure your progress and even use the iPhone app to see how chubby you are on the go. Expect to pay $159, but it might guilt you into spending less money on pizza bagels. Probably not, though.
Brightly colored fixies are great for impressing cute hipster girls, but the eight-speed Globe Haul is both practical and badass. Its aluminum frame has an integrated rack for carrying stuff you can't cram into a messenger bag. $660
Brooks HVAC Glove
By Fresno
When your diet consists mostly of fried stuff wrapped inside of other fried stuff, running sucks hard. Running in the freezing cold is pretty much out of the question. But, if you're the kind of person who can actually gather the motivation to run outside in the winter, you'll love these warm HVAC gloves. They thumb flips back so you can operate your gadgets on the go. Each glove has a small pocket to hold your crap as well as a pad for wiping sweat out of your eyes. When you're done with them, they even have magnets to keep them together. We only wish they were stronger magnets so we could climb bridges like a super hero.
Exos Braces
By Fresno
Breaking your arm sucks. Part of the suckiness comes from the fact that the initial pain will make you want to huck yourself off of the nearest high building. But, wearing a crappy plaster cast all summer might actually be worse. They work with a series of steel wires, which can be tightened with a clicky knob. If you're a snowboarder and you have ever used boa boots, it's basically the same thing. The upshot is that these casts are adjustable, waterproof and breathable so your arm won't get to be a smelly, itchy mess while it heals. The rest of you, however, will remain an itchy, smelly mess.
Weider 40-Pound Powerbell
By Fresno
If you have ever worked out with kettlebells, you have probably spent at least one day coping with the incredibly satisfying pain left with you after a killer workout. You can adjust it from 40 pounds all the way down to 10 pounds at five pound increments. Each one comes with a workout DVD and a fitness journal where you can write down stuff like, "My deltoids might break off." The 40 pound version will cost you $200, but if your a cheap wuss, you can go with the 20-pounder for $100.
LiveStrong LS9.9IC Exercise Bike
By Fresno
If you're into spandex, but don't want anyone to know it, you can get your cycling kicks indoors with this high-tech training set-up. It sports Lance Armstrong's trademark yellow LiveStrong branding, so it's built for performance. The 40-pound flywheel provides lots of resistance and the seat is designed to help keep your ass from feeling like you're a freshman and the seniors just gave you a paddling. It'll be available in September for $1,000, which should give you enough time to get ready for next year's Tour de France. Well, you'll be ready to watch it on TV, at least.
