Heated Hammock

July 28, 2010 · Posted in Gadgets · Comment

Just the other day I was chillin on our Hammock and thought to myself, “boy, wouldn’t it be nice if there was such a thing as a Heated Hammock?” I took to the internet and sure enough, here it is. The heating elements are woven into the fabric giving you up to 122 degrees of radiant heat. This bad boy runs on rechargeable batteries that can go about 2 and a half hours on high heat (4 on low). I must also admit this a nice looking Hammock as well. It comes with two removable pillows, triple varnished solid wood headers and hand knotted rope. The 75″ by 57″ bed is made from quilted, fade-resistant polyester filled with 1/2″ of soft polyfill (sounds comfy). Now, this high end heated hammock doesn’t come cheap. At $299 you must decide on the ultimate luxury or just getting a blanket.

The Only Heated Hammock.

ToeSox Yoga-Pilates Toe Socks with Grips

July 16, 2010 · Posted in Gadgets · Comment

ToeSox are an innovative alternative to traditional athletic socks, which form to the contours of your foot while allowing each of your toes to separate. This separation gives your toes the toe wiggling freedom they deserve, as they separate naturally to increase flexibility and strengthen the muscles in the foot.

Designed with a patent pending non-slip sole, form-fitting ToeSox for Yoga and Pilates provide a fantastic grip on any surface for maximum control and balance. This second skin provides a complete hygienic barrier between you and the mat or apparatus.

Foot alignment is essential in all disciplines, and ToeSox feature a horizontal stripe at the metatarsal head–a visual cue to proper foot alignment during reformer, cadillac, and mat workouts. Toe separation also both strengthens and stretches the muscles in your feet resulting in greater blood circulation and reducing the chances of injury. You can enhance your equilibrium in standing poses by spreading the toes and the ball of the standing foot. The broader your base, the more stable you are, and even the slightest widening of the sole of the foot is helpful.

Made from breathable organic cotton, ToeSox reduce moisture and friction between toes. The seamless design and fitted heel provide the best comfort and fit for your feet.

Features

90% Organic Cotton 10% Spandex
Hygienic alternative to bare feet
Non-slip sole for slip free security
Machine washable. Wash inside out in gentle cycle. Line dry or low heat in dryer. No bleach or iron
Great travel companion-travel without a mat
