Springflex: because your colleagues love the smell of sweat in the morning
Bored of your office desk-cum-treadmill? Want to beef up your biceps instead of your thighs? Then I guess, err, you’ll be after the dubiously named ‘Springflex’. Sounds suspiciously like an infomercial product to me!
It can be screwed onto your desk, giving you the power to do well over 120 exercises, targeting your upper body…all whilst sitting at your chair, staring blankly at your RSS feeds, wishing it was lunchtime already so you can stare blankly at all the greenery in your local salad bar.
Here’s a word of advice, though. If you purchase…

Strap your laptop onto a treadmill, with TheNetRunner, and order pizza whilst jogging!
Let’s all blame Nintendo. That seems fairly reasonable, they’ve really kick-started this trend for exercising-whilst-gaming/brain-training/surfing the net, even giving other companies an excuse to cash in on the puzzling exercise trend.
$6,500 is an awful lot to spend on the Walkstation workstation which we saw a few weeks back, but for just $99, you can get a…

Good news for you stressed-out workaholics – you can now exercise at your desk with the GZ PC-Sport & Power Stepper combination.
Wake up at the perfect time with the Sleeptracker Pro watch
The Sleeptracker Pro is more than just a wristwatch. It’s a personal sleep monitor and an alarm which wakes you when your sleep pattern is closest to an “almost awake” moment. The desired result of this is that you wake up refreshed, rather than groggy. That’s the theory, anyway.
It’s supposed to be the first watch which can upload 12 hours of sleep data, via USB, to a PC, letting you take a look at your personal sleeping habits.
When coupled with the ability to manually add factors which may promote more restful, or cause more restless, sleep, it offers a useful sleep diary, alerting users to what may help them to get a better night’s sleep.

Walkstation workstation: jog on a treadmill as you blog
Hands up – how many people would purchase this Walkstation, thinking they’d be able to fit in at least an hour’s exercise each day as they plough through their RSS feeds, but after a week, it’s start accumulating dust as the couch in front of a Hollyoaks episode is more appealing than jogging whilst surfing.
Priced at $6,500, you’d think consumers would be able to afford a personal trainer for that amount of money, but…

Top five health-related gadgets for Lindsay Lohan now she's out of rehab. Sadly Madonna doesn't fit in a Chanel handbag…
Dear Lindsay,
If the word on the street is correct, you left rehab on the weekend after two months of detoxing and avoiding your court order of one day in jail taking care of your mind, body and soul. Now, we’ve seen how easy it is to fall off the wagon once you leave rehab (Britney Spears, Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse can surely attest to that), so it’s more important than ever to ensure you look after yourself, Lilo. That means no hard partying with Paris and Nicole, no more dangerous older men (unless you can snag Johnny Depp and pimp him to me occasionally), and please god, no more firecrotch flashes. I don’t think my stomach can cope with that anymore!
Surely you know how to use a mouse, so just click on the button below, saying ‘Continue reading’, otherwise get your assistant to do it for you, and read my top five gadgets for keeping healthy now you’re out of rehab. It’s for your own good Lindsay, and ours too – we’ve been rather enjoying reading about Britney’s downfall in the Metro newspaper every morning, and sadly there’s just not enough space for you anymore. Stop sobbing, and take a look below….
