During the chillier months it's only natural for most of us to put the diet on the back burner and indulge in some comfort food. It's just a shame that comfort food always seems to be the most fattening. Exercising is always a good idea, but unless you have the willpower of . . well, someone with a lot of willpower, it's all too easy to bypass the gym in favour of a nice hot bath back at home. Then the Dumbell Alarm Clock arrived. There really is no way to avoid exercising with this gizmo (well, you can switch it over to the alarm only setting, but where's the fun in that?) as it not only acts as an alarm clock but will relentlessly beep at you until you've done thirty arm curl repetitions. Thankfully it's not as heavy as it looks (we have to admit we panicked a little bit when we saw the "10 kg" stamped on the side of it) but you have to do the curls just right for them to be counted towards the 30 it takes to stop the incessant peal of the alarm. Who knows? Once it's woken you up you might just decide to go for a jog. Get up and get in shape with the Dumbell Alarm Clock. The Dumbell Alarm Clocks are sold individually, not as a set of two.
