This Got Me Thinking
Via GeekPress, here is a tremedous breakthrough in exercise equipment:
Cordless jump-rope can help the clumsy
WASHINGTON - If you think keeping fit is merely mind over matter, Lester Clancy has an invention for you — a cordless jump-rope. That's right, a jump-rope minus the rope. All that's left is two handles, so you jump over the pretend rope. Or if you are truly lazy, you can pretend to jump over the pretend rope.
This is a great idea, but jump-ropes are kind of last century. What about a more upscale and hip piece of equipment -- say, a weightless, invisible pilates ball? People would shell out big bucks for that one. Or for those who really want to go all-out: how about a silent, invisible personal trainer? He'll help you out for $250 per hour. Call me if you're interested.
