“Just when you thought Garmin had cornered the market on powerful, affordable, and effective wrist-mounted GPS devices, here comes the Forerunner 305. The release of this device is a major achievement from a design and technology perspective. This isn’t just marketing-speak; the Forerunner 305 is the most accurate, most reliable wrist-mounted performance and GPS tracking tool we’ve ever tested. Yes, it’s that good. While no device this compact can do everything (yet), the 305 pushes the boundaries of what is possible from something strapped around your wrist.”

This 45lb fold-away gym gives you all the benefits of a complete weight set. Instead of heavy weights that take up room, this machine uses three sets of color-coded elastic bands that clip to the handles and leg straps and create seven levels of resistance equivalent to 5, 12, 17, 20, 25, 32, and 37 lbs.

When you’re finished your workout just fold up the gym and store it under your bed or in your closet. The trainer comes with five illustrated program cards with instructions for performing 39 exercises and 10 targeted workouts. There’s some assembly required, but just consider that your first workout.

“The turf has a regulation golf ball mounted on a flexible tether which allows the ball to spin when it is struck, resulting in the same feel and “ping” sound that is produced on a golf course. Embedded optical sensors in the turf measure clubhead speed, launch angle, swing path, and ball spin thousands of times every second, calculating the distance and trajectory of the ball, while the included EA Sports™ Tiger Woods PGA Tour® 2006 software visually renders your shots on your PC’s monitor as you negotiate faithful reproductions of world-renowned golf courses such as Pebble Beach, TPC at Sawgrass, and St. Andrews.”

Have you ever tried to jump rope in a confined space? If you have, then this gadget should fascinate you.

Since there’s no actual rope, you can skip in limited space indoors, and not hit the ceiling with the rope, or trip for that matter. It even makes a snapping sound with every jump to help you maintain proper jumping rhythm.

You can buy the Ropeless Jump Rope at Hammacher Schlemmer.

“You can input your height and weight into the device, and the LCD on one of the handheld units informs you of calories burned, jump repetitions, and exercise time, or the device has a “talking” mode that informs you of exercise progress. Part of the training regimen of professional boxers and Olympic wrestlers, jumping rope exercises your cardiovascular system while exerting less stress on knees than jogging, strengthens your arms and shoulders, and ten minutes of jumping rope can burn as many calories as running an eight minute mile.”
