dumbbell alarm clock forces you to work out

This new alarm clock makes you tone up when you wake up. By embedding a motion sensor into a dumbbell, this clever clock ensures you’ll work out every morning.

Designed by Yuk Wang for Fred Worldwide, the SHAPE UP! alarm clock makes you flex your arm for at least 30 reps before the alarm shuts off.

Just order two and set them go off at the same time, and you’ll actually be able to work out BOTH of your arms. There’s no price or release date yet, but I’d expect to see these turn up over at Perpetual Kid at some point in the near future, since they’ve been known to carry stuff from Fred before.
