Turn your living room into a gym

(Credit: Cool Hunting)

It's usually a sign that we need to visit the gym when we start noticing items about odd and over-the-top fitness equipment. And, in this case, both categories apply.

The "Kinesis Personal," according to Cool Hunting, is a "soft gymnastics" apparatus that touts a "tri-dimensional movement system" and claims to make 200 exercise positions possible. (That's about 196 more than we need.) But we're most amused by its description as "blending seamlessly into homes," as well as offices or hotel rooms. We'd love to meet their interior designers.

Blending seamlessly?

That doesn't strike me as a good thing. How many non-exercise injuries is this thing going to cause because people don't see it blending into the living room? People are going to trip over it, or worse yet get caught in the cable and really hurt themselves. Like it's not hazardous enough to pull a muscle when you finally use the thing, they want to booby-trap your house.

Check the link out - it folds up, it's not that dangerous.

The '200' exercies are a lot of varations of 'pull twist and leg flip' it looks like. Still, good be good exercise. I don't know how much resistance the cables offer.

The big problem is it's not obvious how much it costs - probably a bundle, and no, I'm not going to 'call' to get a sales pitch. Pass!
