Wake up… Shape up!

Posted by Jim as Cool Stuff, Energy

I have to admit I was a little amused by the idea of an alarm clock waking me up with an annoying buzz sound only to keep on buzzing UNTIL I do 30 reps. Designed by Yuk Wang, this novelty alarm clock shaped as a dumbbell has a simple LCD display of a clock on one end. Found this gym treasure right here and here.

Gym buffs would surely appreciate the uncanny way of starting up a great day at the gym. The question that needs answering is that would you want to wake up to 30 reps everytime! Forget about throwing this “clock” out the window too. It may not be too wise to keep this near you all the time.

At the moment, I do not see any online store carrying this product yet. But this just screams SPONSORS does it? I could just imagine a power bar graphic accross the middle… or powercookies! Yum!
