This guy is working out his core and not making out with his vacuum

This strange looking contraption is a kinetic resistance exercise device. It’s called the Four Minute Core Trainer and it has been designed to work 46 core muscles and eight arm muscles in just four minutes.

There is a resistance cartridge in the upper and lower section of the device that provides 60 and 70 pounds of resistance each. If that is too much or too little, additional cartridges can be purchased from the manufacturer.

The lightweight exercise device can be used while sitting, laying flat, or standing and folds for easy storage.

A smartphone holder is built into the trainer which can be used with an app to view the status of your workouts in real time.

If you’re ready to use this device to do some heavy duty crunches and strengthen your core, it’s going to cost you $299.95. You can read more about it and order at Hammacher Schlemmer.

This giant “ball bearing” will soothe your aching muscles

If you’re an athlete or you work out on a regular basis, you know what it’s like to have sore muscles. Even I get achy muscles with my lame attempts to keep in shape. Finding a way to soothe your aches and pains is important if you want to be ready to tackle the next game or workout pain-free. The Stinger Cold Massage Roller from Recoup Fitness looks like it could be an interesting solution worth checking out.

The Stinger Cold Massage Roller looks like a giant ball bearing, but it’s really just a stainless steel ball that has non-toxic gel inside that stays cold for up to 6 hours after being in a freezer for 2 hours.

The Stinger massager can be used by itself or in the included hand grip that keeps your hand from freezing while being applied to your muscles.

Cold therapy reduces your metabolic rate and the release of lactic acid that causes your muscles to ache. After a workout, relieve strain or inflammation by massaging the roller over your muscles.

The massager can be used in the same way foam rollers and other massagers are used by rolling over muscles and even on the bottom of your feet if you suffer from plantar fasciitis.

The Recoup Fitness Stinger Cold Massage Roller is made in the US and is priced at $39.95. You can read more about it at recoupfitness.com and order through The Grommet or Amazon.
