Workout Whilst Sitting Down with the GymyGym Chair

 

If you have an online job then you are probably spending too much time just sitting down in front of your computer. This would include you in the long line of people not getting the physical exercise they need to keep their bodies working properly. After all, scrolling down with the help of your mouse does not count as workout time.

But don’t worry because there is a solution to your dilemma, the GymyGym Chair. This office chair is a comfortable place to sit on but it does not encourage you to sit for longer hours than you already do. The chair will not only train you to sit with proper posture, but it also comes with four exercise stations which you can do with the help of the bungee cord on the chair handles. Tuck the Velcro straps properly and you will get the chance to do strengthening leg, arms and other exercises while sitting down or even standing.

It may not give you a full workout for the entire body but the GymyGym Chair’s tension controls systems allows you to really feel specific body parts stretching it out as you repeat specific exercise routines. The $599 desk exercise Chair is quite pricey but consider the workout it can give you and the fact that it is 95 percent made of recycled materials then you wouldn’t think twice about getting this gadget.

Most people use their work as an excuse not to go to the gym. With the GymyGym Chair, you need not leave your computer, and you need not miss your daily workout. The contour of the user’s body is followed by the patented bungee-seating system allowing you to relax while working. It is available in attractive black, red and orange so you need not worry about the chair sticking out like a sore thumb considering your office interior.

The Illuminottoman

 

Ottomans are very versatile. They can be used to store things, as an additional stool when you have company, and also as a leg rest. Now you can say goodbye to the boring ottomans because the new Illuminottoman is the ottoman of the future.

The Illumiottoman is weatherproof so it can be placed indoors as well as on the patio or by the poolside. Just like its name, the Illuminottoman is equipped with more than 50 LED lights which lights up with different colors such as red, green, white and blue. The illuminottoman can support up to 265 lbs so you can use these decorative furniture displays to sit on as well (okay, most of your guests can sit on them).

The amazing thing about this furniture gadget is that it comes with a remote control. The brightness of the hues can be altered based on your preference. If you dislike the transitioning colors of the Illuminottoman, you can adjust it so that it will constantly shine with your favorite cerulean or emerald glow. Disco balls for parties are passé. If you want to throw the most happening party in town, then you’re after the Illuminottoman. It can be set to flicker the various colors at a faster speed turning your party into a clubbing scene.

The Illuminottoman also has a three hour timer which allows you to conserve energy if you ever forget to switch it off. It runs on a rechargeable battery that can last up to eight hours even with only six hours of charging. You can also run it from the AC adapter for steady electrical current.
