Self Improvement Gear – October 2012

Continuing our theme of New Year = New You are our suggestions for some gear to help you be a better version of yourself. These gifts are perfect for everyone (well OK the beard trimmer is probably a man only gift) and will go a long way to helping you that special person in your life reach their resolution. Some of these might be hard to travel with, but there are great shipping options in Thailand if you need to send them back home.

A lot of products promise results with minimum effort. Kettlebells promise results but you’re going to need some effort. That’s why, unlike most fad exercise equipment, they actually work. Rumored to have been developed to keep Russian submarine fighters in top condition, these iron canon balls enable a full work out in a limited space. They also don’t require much time…you can wear yourself out in 5-15 minutes if you get the right weight.

New Year means new you. Everyone from artists to CEOs are sporting the stubbled look. Manage it with style with this trimmer that allows you 175 different length options, from 0.4mm to 18mm. That blade’s also titanium coated and self-sharpening, so it should be able to handle even the thickest hair. And it can be charged via a wall outlet, or from your laptop’s USB port if you want one less charger to pack while traveling.

[/wptabtitle] [wptabcontent] Price: Bt8,000
An atypical outdoorsy-sport watch, instead of the usual “extreme” designs often used. The Suunto Quest Black Watch has a subdued design that will work fine as an everyday watch as well as while working out. Of course, being a modern digital watch, it also includes features for time, date, dual time, alarm, stopwatch, and interval timer functionality, the ability to monitor heart rate, speed, distance, running cadence, and laps in real time, the ability to share, plan, and analyze results online, and water resistance to 30 meters.

[/wptabtitle] [wptabcontent] Price: Bt35,000
Step up your indoor exercise biking regime with the Livestrong Limited Edition Indoor Cycle . The ultimate indoor cycle comes from the biggest name in cycling (let’s be honest: for most of us that’s probably the only name in cycling we know). The cycle is made from heavy-duty components and its premium construction will meet the demands of any rider for years to come. The on-console computer lets you track your progress and gives feedback on your training routine, and the many pivot and adjustment points ensure the bike fits you for maximum comfort.
