What the Workout?

As much as I would love to write about how Andre Agassi should be praised for admitting he used crystal meth instead of being chastised, I'm gonna pass. That won't save you money because we don't have any crystal meth deals (weird, I know...). Instead I'll provide you with some deals (and hopefully some entertainment) on some very strange fitness products.

• Ab Wheel: It's pretty much just a small wheel with handles. You just stand up and put the wheel near your toes, and slowly roll out the wheel until you're flat on the ground. What next you ask? Roll backwards until you're back to your original position. I have to admit I've never tried using one of these--so don't blame me if it turns out that it sucks. I will also admit I probably never will try one. However, if you're so inclined, Amazon has one you can get for only $9.15 after a 54% discount.

• Shake Weight: Unfortunately we don't have any deals for the Shake Weight but it's a prett interesting "gadget." It's just a weight that you shake and it supposedly gets you in shape. Confused? Now before you write this off as a scam, keep in mind that Shake Weight claims that scientific studies prove that the Shake Weight "increases upper body muscle activity by more than 300% compared to traditional weights." Yeah, science. Here's a video that demonstrates it:

• JumpSnap: For those of you enjoy jump roping in your dog house or any other indoor locale where the ceiling isn't high enough, meet the JumpSnap. This interesting little device is a jump rope without the rope (kind of like how Carrot Top is a comedian without the comedy, only better...). I'm not going to bash this product and say it's completely useless because it does have some pretty cool features. It counts your jumps, keeps track of how long you use it, and counts how many calories you've burned. The only drawback I've read about, claims that the balls on the end of handles hits your hand a lot which can get pretty annoying. If that doesn't bother you, we've got another Amazon deal for a 42% discount on it.

• Vibram Five Fingers: Ever wish you had foot gloves? I haven't, but I promise not to judge you if you have. In fact, I will go one step further and introduce you to the Vibram Five Fingers. It's a pair of shoes so thin, I'm going to keep calling them foot gloves. Why would you ever want these? Because running barefoot decreases your chances of injury and is more efficient that using running shoes. However, you increase your chances of stepping on glass, rusty nails, and dog poo. Well, with these foot gloves you don't have to worry about that! They protect your feet enough to make barefoot running a reality. Where can you get them? Use the 15% off with the newsletter sign up and then click the deal for the Vibram Five Fingers at our REI coupons page.

That's it for this week folks. Hope you were moderately to fully entertained by these wacky fitness products. If you know of any others or have some you made yourself feel free to let us know in the comments section. And make sure to follow me on Twitter @YasarSavings for video game news, tips and deals
