Getting used to the pounding heat of the sun and cold pouring rain is all a part of track and field. That’s why the best place for outdoor sports enthusiasts to train is outside. Hamtoner is another tool that sports lovers can use to help strengthen their lower body so they have what it takes to not just cross the finish line, but win the prize, too. Auger screws allow the unit to be anchored to the ground right next to the playing field so that strengthening buttocks, calves and lower back can be just as much a part of the training routine as other important aspects of building up the body for those winning moments. The unit is lightweight enough to be taken on the road for keeping up with workouts during travel, but it seems that the Auger screws may create a challenge for getting Hamtoner unanchored and packed into one’s vehicle. This campaign seeks to raise $4,750 by November 16, 2014. For $375, backers get one product with an expected delivery of December 2014.

If walking forward on the old treadmill has become a bore, consider walking backwards. Or even sideways. K-Mill allows users to go in multiple directions, which the creator claims builds up more leg strength in multiple areas and also burns 57 percent more calories per minute. But if making exercise more exciting is the aim, consider Virtuix Omni, which adds the elements of virtual reality and gaming to a treadmill workout. As for K-Mill, it’s not entirely clear what the retail price is going to be as of yet.
Tired of sitting in front of a computer screen all day? Now it’s possible to stand up for a while and keep on working. Stealth Rising Desktop raises the user’s desktop at the press of a button. For those who are counting calories, it’s even possible to hook up a PC to the Stealth and schedule regular times of standing and track the extra calories burned from standing rather than sitting. While this might be a nice way to change up the workday, the claims that it actually improves health seem like they may be a bit on the exaggerated side although there’s lots of evidence in favor of at least getting out of the seated position once in a while. Expected delivery is February 2014.
Perhaps one of the biggest challenges in connection to exercise is changing up the routine enough to keep from getting bored and drifting away from a regular workout schedule. That’s why multiple types are good, or in the case of Spyder 360, multiple options. The gadget’s creator boasts of a product that offers endless range of motion and that easily fits into many popular exercise programs on the market, while still doing wonderful things for the user’s core and more. At $84, this seems like a reasonable price, and a nice alternative on those busy days when getting to the gym just isn’t possible, or when one wants to avoid going out into inclement weather. Anticipated delivery is December 2014.
