This leather punching bag has vintage written all over it. The bag is stylish enough to throw into the corner of your entertainment room or your office and makes for a good way to relieve stress from the two hundred idiotic e-mails you get every day.

The bag comes with leather gym accessories and the whole setup swells with Italian design.

Working out at home is an oxymoron. Why would one want to work out when there are televisions, football games on television, beer, or hell - video games?

Purchasing massive home fitness equipment is often a terrible investment since the most your Bowflex will ever do is bow to the dust bunnies. Keep the gym membership, get motivated to go (good biceps and forearms should be reason enough), and relegate fitness to a place where you’ll be surrounded by superior equipment and perhaps scenery.

At home, we recommend you keep something simple like the Door Gym Chin Up Bar. It’ll give you chin-ups, push-ups, self-spotting sit-ups in one simple device that installs and removes in one second. It even has extensions for broadreach bars and ab-loops.

What this means to you: Fitness at home doesn’t mean expensive equipment.

Cost: $45 @ Door Gym

At first we were skeptical at idea of the Nike Amp+. A device that serves as a watch and an iPod remote on one hand and also provides instant voice feedback of your time, distance, calories when teamed up with the Nike+ iPod Sport Kit and any set of Nike+ Ready shoes. Didn’t appear to be a very straightforward setup which we’re all about.

We were wrong.

The Nike Amp+ is simple in all ways. Its durable polyurethane strap can be cut to your exact preference for a natural, comfortable fit and it’s unexpectedly easy to understand LED displays time of day and icons for iPod® nano controls when activated by the remote. Its instant voice feedback of time, distance, calories and pace are clear and concise and the buttons are precise and easy to press when running. Of course, this one’s water resistant (up to 50 meters to be precise), just like any good watch.

What this means to you: You don’t have time to think about fiddling with your iPod or calorie counting when you’re exercising. With the Nike Amp+ you don’t have to.
