There a lots of pedometers to choose from out there, many built into various common devices we all like to carry including digital watches and smartphones. And there are all sorts of different single device dedicated pedometers that you can hold in your hand or strap onto your wrist. But the problem with almost all of the little portable pedometers is they don’t display much on the screen. If you want to get the full picture, you usually have to scroll through different menus and drill down. That’s simply not convenient when you just want a full picture at a glance.

The Full Screen Pedometer from Hammacher Schlemmer solves this problem with most pedometers. This compact pedometer fits easily into the palm of your hand and displays five key datapoints on the screen at one time. With the Full Screen Pedometer there’s no complex navigation, no need to press multiple buttons to see what’s going on, and no need to drill down into multiple menus to get a quick “at a glance” view.

The Full Screen Pedometer provides the walker or runner a view of “steps walked”, “distance traveled”, “calories burned”, “time elapsed” and “average pace”, all with an easy glance at the backlit LCD display. No need to fumble around  with buttons to scroll through different menus and screens to view the information.

The Full Screen Pedometer simply has one large button on the front panel just below the screen, and that’s all you need to worry about to operate the pedometer. The dimensions are 2 5/8 inches high, by 1 1/2 inches wide and 1/2 inch in depth. And the easy to use full screen pedometer weighs only 3 ounces. This is the easiest, quickest and least complicated pedometer you’ll ever use.

If you think you can leave your bicycle leaning against a lamp post and run into the mini mart to grab a Gatorade, you are probably underestimating the frequency of bicycle theft that still occurs every day. In fact, in many locales, bicycle theft is actually on the rise. This may be due to the down economy we’re all struggling through these days. And bicycles are popular marks with the criminals because they can still sell the bicycle even after it has been broken down into parts.

If you own an expensive more state of the art mountain bicycle, it’s especially advisable that you take a bicycle lock with you and secure your bicycle whenever and wherever you stop.

The bicycle locks that we’re most familiar with typically consist of a simple cable and carrying it around is kind of a hassle. If not in use, the bicycle lock will be coiled around the frame of the bicycle which can be a nuisance for the cyclist. We’ve found a great solution called the Bicycle Bottle Lock from Kuat.

The Bicycle Bottle Lock looks like a water bottle but inside is a coiled up cable that is 1.5 meters long and the bottle itself is constructed with a sturdy plastic coated steel material. When you need to use it, simple pull out the cable and secure it with the Bottle Lock’s built in lock. With the Bicycle Bottle Lock, you won’t have to worry about the bicycle cable tangling inconveniently around your bike frame, always getting in your way.

The Bicycle Bottle Lock comes in black, white and pink which will look stylish on your bicycle. On top of that, the designers of the Bottle Lock have included a convenient storage compartment at the base of the bottle. This small compartment will allow you to keep the keys to the Bottle Lock and other small items.

And the ability to store and hide the elliptical trainer away when not in use solves the space problem many of us have in the home.

Unlike the full sized elliptical trainers, the Hideaway Elliptical Trainer doesn’t have hand rails enabling it to squeeze into tight spaces when not in use. The open foot pad design also forces you to keep your balance as you stride which simultaneously works your abdominal muscles. And that’s actually an extra workout benefit that even the full sized machines don’t provide.

The well constructed and sturdy steel frame supports up to 250 pounds. The elliptical trainer also has a tension dial that lets you adjust the intensity of your workout.

Finding a way to keep fit in this fast pace world is the question that everyone has been wondering about. We’ve read in magazines, watched on television and even heard on the radio that it’s enough to just allocate 20 minutes a day, two or three times a week to exercise.

However, just how any people actually do follow that regime and also continuously? Technology has proven to improve our way of living by allowing us follow our daily schedule and also exercise at the same time without having to go through the trouble of gyms or fitness centres. Dumb-bell Cutlery allows you to eat as you have always eaten but workout at the same time. It’s all together a three piece collection where it consists of a knife and fork weighing 1kg each, and a hefty 2kg desert spoon. Quite a neat fitness gadget dont you think?

The logic of the weight is simple. Since desserts such as ice cream, cakes, and puddings contain the most calories, the weight of the dessert spoon is of course the heaviest. It’s also because dessert is eaten by using a single spoon only whereas the main course is eaten by using two utensils; a fork and also a knife which brings to 2kg in total. By eating regularly you won’t only gain weight but also lose weight.

By using these, the message that ‘you gain what you eat’ gets across. Now, not only do you do it two or three times a week. It can even happen three times daily! The most body benefiting utensils you could ever have.
