Comical snowboard exercise gadget - iJoy Board
At the Metro Ski & Snowboard show last year I walked past several stands with novelty exercise equipment, tagged up for hundreds of pounds with some new spin on getting you ready for your ski or snowboard season without having to bust a gut. Seriously, just get yourself down the gym and stop taking short cuts.
Reminds me of a friend of mine at uni, who had some kind of electronic pad that you stuck on your midriff that was supposed to give you a six pack via a series of not too painful electric shocks. Ridiculous.
I digress…
One that caught my eye, and looked like a bit of fun at least was the iJoy Board.
If they had one in my gym I’d give it a go, but really, who would buy one of these? Get yourself a proper snowboard exercise plan.
Horses for courses?
There’s also the original iJoy Ride which seems to be hitting the shops here. Check out the classic video footage here. I challenge you not to laugh at this horse play.

I actually bought an Abtronic! I guess it didn`t really work. I did tend to take it out to the bars with me to impress my friends though - that may have been part of the problem…

Robin Williams did an excellent bit about the ab belt shocker thing in his HBO Live on Broadway special

I remember my school days, there was a kid that had one of those electric-shock abs things. I’m fairly certain all it did was cause him pain.

iJoy Ride looks like fun, but not like a serious workout. It reminds of those gadgets that you see in old movies or mags that strapped around people waste and vibrated them. iJoy Ride may help with improving balance if you think about it.
