    Video: The Amazing Treadmobile

    It's like a Flintstones car for the 21st century - perfect for all those treadmill users who dream about actually getting somewhere one day.

  • Fitbit

    Tech Buzz The Fitbit promises to not only track how many steps you take and how many calories you burn, but how long it takes you to fall asleep and how many times you wake up during the night. Apparently your wrist “experiences tiny tremors” while you’re slipping into REM sleep. So if you wake up feeling un-rested, you can check Fitbit’s online database to find out exactly how long you were asleep, and thus justify your caffeine consumption with fancy statistics.

  • Slackline Yoga

    Sports Buzz A new style of yoga in which traditional poses are performed on a tightrope, often in remote outdoor locations. We can barely do a headstand, much less walk a tight rope, much less do both at the same time. But there is a rare breed of athlete that actually puts this into practice.

  • Powerisers

    Sports Buzz An extreme sport involves strapping on a pair of jumping stilts that act like pogo sticks on your feet. A Korean company has made $400 knockoffs of these odd German stilts that allow you to run at 20 miles an hour and jump 6 feet in the air. And you thought rollerbladers looked ridiculous!

  • Weighted Vests

    Sports Buzz They add pounds to your workout, allowing you to burn more calories. New varieties are sleeker and can even be worn under your everyday clothing. In the vein of FitFlops and Balance Sneakers, these vests are a way to almost effortlessly tone-up just by walking up the street. We feel comforted knowing that we’re burning twice the number of calories as we get up to refill our coffee while wearing our weighted vests.

  • Nordic Walking

    Sports Buzz “Ski Walking” and hill bounding with poles began as an off season routine for Nordic skiers as a way to exercise all year long. We haven’t noticed many ski walkers on the streets of New York City, but we’re hearing reports back that it’s the latest fitness craze amongst middle-aged ladies who love indoor-mall-walking and Scandinavians alike.
