Titanium Spring Loaded Insoles
If you plan to getting a little extra spring in your steps the next time you walk out of the home, why not consider the Titanium Spring Loaded Insoles?
Built with five titanium springs that not only cushion and support the foot, these insoles return some of the energy of the downward footfall back up to the body for a “push off” with every stride. The suspension coils are only 1/4″ thick, making them just as suitable for athletic shoes as for work boots, and undetectable until a step is taken. Many foot and ankle ailments stem from the impact of the body’s weight while walking, which is why the five coils are positioned directly underneath the heel. The titanium construction ensures the springs will never wear down or lose their shock-absorbing capability. Seven smaller springs under the ball of the foot further disperse the impact and cradle the foot. The insole also features honeycomb padding with valves that draw in and expel air during walking for constant circulation to keep the shoe dry and skin healthy.
Choose from Small (Men’s 3-7; Women’s 4 1/2-8 1/2), Medium (M 8-10; W9-11 1/2), or Large (M 11-13; W 12-14 1/2) sizes for $29.95 per set.
Big Shockie Alert: Wii Sports apparently not as good as real thing
Well, all Wii owners out there are probably still enjoying their WiiSports, the “Combat” of the Nintendo Wii. (I’m sure a lot of you aren’t getting the “Combat” reference. Just think back to the Atari 2600.) And I’m certain that some of you have felt good just in knowing that you’re getting your exercise playing Wii Baseball, Bowling, Golf, Tennis, or even Boxing.
Well, I hate to be the one to burst your bubble, but there is UK Study that shows that a round of Wii Sports, even the best one, is no substitute for proper exercise. In fact, it recorded on a negligible difference between playing Wii Sports vs. playing a regular controller game.

Talking Dumbells are gadgets, not your co-workers
Hopefully, all the readers of these gadget blogs do more than just play on their computers all day. I want to see you guys exercising, for crying out loud!
Of course, we all know how necessary exercise is, and how we need to do a lot of repetitive movements. I don’t know about you, but I’m really bad about counting them. It’s pretty easy to lose count while you’re like watching TV or something. Fortunately, these new Talking Dumbells from Everlast are like a digital personal trainer, counting aloud as you move your arm. I wonder what voice they chose for it.

I guess in this day and age, folks are more often preoccupied with the outside more than the inside. Just check out the deluge of advertisements that we see wherever we look. Most women would kill to have a svelte body, but most of them aren’t willing to put down the hours to achieve the magical hourglass figure. Rakuten is offering its MAX TURBO slimming belt that is capable of belting out (no pun intended) a maximum vibrating speed of 1,234 times per minute! I just can’t imagine what the feeling will be wearing this – is it gonna be ticklish or what? Remember folks, there is still no better substitute than ample exercise and a healthy diet.
